Don’t worry if the Check Engine Light is not on, the computer will store
lesser important codes without flashing lights in your face. First you need
to find the self-test plugs to read codes from the EEC. There are 2 plugs to
find. One is triangular and has 6 pins; it is called the Self-Test plug. The
other is a smaller single pin plug; it is called the Self-Test Input (STI).
These are what the plugs look like. The self-test plugs are located along
the driver s side fender by the firewall on 1986-95 Mustangs.
The self-test plugs are located along the driver s side fender behind the
air filter box on 1987-95 EFI trucks.
The self-test plugs were mounted on the passenger side fender on 1985-86 EFI trucks.

To check for codes without buying a code reader is simple. If your EEC is wired correctly, the engine light works, and there
are not any electrical faults in the vehicle you can get the codes out of your EEC.
If you are a lost soul that does not have a working engine light, or did not install a light into your dash don t fret. You can
still get the codes. You still need that wire to ground out the STI. Now you will need one of the following tools; digital volt
meter, analog volt meter, test light, or you can hook up any other 12 volt light that does not draw more than 0.5 watts max.

10. You will hear some relays engage and the fuel pumps prime the system. This is the EEC beginning the test.
11. When the fuel pumps stop be ready to count!
When the “Check Engine” light blinks during the test you will get several different blinks, the separation time between blinks
is used to indicate what information is being displayed.
Blink - 2 sec - blink - 4 sec - blink - 2 sec - blink - 6 sec - blink - 6 sec - blink - 2 sec - blink - 4 sec - blink - 2 sec blink
This translates into 11-11 current condition (KOEO) and 11-11 in the continues memory (CM); or SYSTEMPASS
This may seem hard to count; recommendation is to record codes with slashes, and to lump them all together. Sort them out
into numerical codes later. Here is an example of this:
This would give you codes; 41, 83, 14 & 18. If you miss some of the codes or feel you are counting wrong continue to count
the remaining codes for practice and to compare to the next code test. When finished simply turn the key to OFF wait 15
seconds then back to RUN. The codes will be presented again.
