If you get any of the above Ford 1983-1995 OBD1 Decoder fault codes,
make sure to reset the code before making any repairs. If the code is permanent,
it will come back once you scan the code again. You can then proceed in repairing
the fault code/s using the following methods:
1.) using common fixes available when you ask your Ford parts store or service
department.
2.) using wiring diagram for the Ford vehicle you are working
The same solution applies when checking Ford OBD2 codes but this time, you need
a
scanner to get the code. Shown below are some examples of Ford OBD2 fixes which
can be used for your vehicles:
