Electrical OnBoardDiagnosisPort

This 2001 SportTrac & most 1997+Later Autos, have the OnBoardDiagnostic2\OBD2 Port under the Dash.

For many years I kept a basic OBD2 Scanner that would read & reset only the StandardSAE TroubleCodes;

I now also have the items below, which allow extensive access to TroubleCodes, Signals & Configurations:

OBDLink#MX+ Module with WirelessBT to AndroidPhon with OBDLinkApp + ForScanLite + TorquePro

\* Reads+Resets+Graphs both StandardSAE & ProprietaryOEM Data

\* DashBoardMode for viewing Temps & Signals while Driving

\* Used for Routine Maintenance & DailyMonitoring

OBDLink#EX Module with CabledUSB to WindowsPC with OBDLinkWiz + ForScanLLE

\* Reads+Resets+Graphs+Configures both StandardSAE & ProprietaryOEM Data

\* Faster & easier than ToggleSwitch ELM327 ComsModules

\* Used for InDepth Maintenance & Configurations

Above ODB2 items are personal preference; there are many options which vary widely in cost & function.

An Ohm+Volt+Amp\MultiMeter is also handy+essential; using the same digital Fluke meter 30years+ now.
