On a 1996 Ford Explorer :
The Data Link Connector is located in the lower part of the dash , below the
steering wheel and between the inside hood release and the emergency /
parking brake release . It is located behind a small plastic panel that
removes ( or maybe flips up )
The EEC test connector is in the engine compartment in front of the power distribution box (Helpfull)
A 1994 Ford Explorer is EEC-IV / OBD I ( there is an EEC test connection in the engine compartment near the power distribution box )
A 1994 Ford Explorer is EEC-IV / OBD I ( there is an EEC test connection in the engine compartment near the power distribution box )
Your EEC test port is in the engine compartment by your power distribution box EEC IV / OBD I system
My 1995 Ford Explorer has the EEC TEST connection in the engine compartment clipped on to the Power Distribution Box ( OBD I / EEC IV ) and the Data Link Connector behind a small removable plastic panel in the dash , located below the steering wheel between the inside hood release and the parking brake release
There should be an EEC TEST connection in the engine compartment somewhere near the battery or Power Distribution Box ( OBD I / EEC IV )
The code reader test connector, on your Ford E2 50, is located beneath the dashboard on the drivers side. The connector is on the left side of the steering column.
The 1996 Ford Explorer is definitely OBD II / EEC V , my late 1995 Ford Explorer has both the EEC TEST connection in the engine compartment for OBD I / EEC IV but it also has the Data Link Connector ( DLC ) under the steering wheel for the newer system which has confused some of the newer technicians ( and myself )
The 1991 Taurus has the old OB1 system. The data connector is at the firewall ( under hood )on the passenger side. It consists of a 6 pin connector and a single pin self test connector. This vehicle can be self tested through the check engine light. You will need a manual for the procedure.
Under the glove box next to the console
There should be an " EEC TEST " connection in your engine compartment near the battery ( or power distribution box if you have one )
The EEC TEST connection should be in the engine compartment by the Power Distribution Box in a 1995 Ford Ranger ( EEC - IV , OBD I )
