Thanks for writing. Now, onto your question:
Typically, the "hand held" auto computer ANALYZERS, sold in various auto parts stores, is NOT what you need.
You need to take you vehicle to your local Ford dealership, have them hookup their "roll-around computer" [especially built and programmed only for FORD vehicles, not a "variety" of vehicles], to your vehicles computer. Ask that they "Reset your computer to the "Factory Defaults." I recently had my Ford Explorer XLT take in for a dealership computer analysis, and the cost was <$100.
