TEST CONNECTORS
•
The gateway to your vehicle's onboard computer.
Ford equips its vehicles with special Test Connectors that
make it possible to connect specialized testing equipment that
communicates with the vehicle's onboard computer.
Ford's vehicle test connectors are usually dark in color
(BLACK or GREY) and found under the hood. Sometimes they
have a plastic cover over them or are labeled EEC Test. The
connectors can be found in the following general locations in
the engine compartment:

•
Near the fender well (right or left).
•
Near the fire wall (right or left).
CONNECTING THE FORD CODE READER TO THE
VEHICLE'S TEST CONNECTOR(S)
NOTE: The Code Reader is designed to match the computer's
test connector. When properly connected, the test connector
should match the pre-molded guides around the Code Reader
pins (as shown on next page).
Forcing the test connector onto the Code Reader improperly
may result in damage to the Code Reader and possible damage
to the vehicle's computer system.
