How to Retrieve Ford Engine
Fault Codes
The ECM constantly monitors the engine by the use
of sensors on the engine. The ECM also uses
signals from the sensors to initiate sequential fuel
injection and make constant and instantaneous
changes to ignition timing, fuel delivery and throttle
position to maintain the engine's running condition
at its highest efficiency while at the same time
keeping exhaust emissions to a minimum. When a
sensor fails or returns signals that are outside of set
parameters, the ECM will store a fault code in
memory that relates to the appropriate sensor and
will turn on the Check Engine Light.
Note: Perform this procedure with the key switch in
the off position.
1 Open the ground controls side cover and
locate the run/test toggle switch on the side of
the ground control box.
2 Pull out the red Emergency Stop button to the
on position at both the ground and platform
controls.
3 Move and hold the run/test toggle switch to the
test position.
Result: The check engine light should turn on.
The check engine light should begin to blink.
4 Continue to hold the run/test toggle switch in
the test position and count the blinks.
Note: Before the fault codes are displayed, the
check engine light will blink a code 1-6-5-4 three
times. After the fault codes, the check engine light
will blink a code 1-6-5-4 three times again indicating
the end of the stored codes.
Note: If any fault codes are present, the ECM will
blink a three digit code three times for each code
stored in memory. It will blink the first digit of a three
digit code, pause, blink the second digit, pause, and
then blink the third digit. For example: the check
engine light blinks 5 consecutive times, blinks
3 times and then 1 time. That would indicate code
531.
Note: Once a fault code has been retrieved and the
repair has been completed, the ECM memory must
be reset to clear the fault code from the ECM. Refer
to Fault Codes Procedure,
How to Clear Engine
Fault Codes from the ECM .

Electrocution/burn hazard.
