I'm not a mechanic / technician , but a 1994 Ford Aerostar is OBD I , EEC IV so there should be an EEC TEST connection in the engine compartment
On-Board Diagnostics, or OBD, in an automotive context, is a generic term referring to a vehicle's self-diagnostic and reporting capability. OBD systems give the vehicle owner or a repair technician access to state of health information for various vehicle sub-systems. The amount of diagnostic information available via OBD has varied widely since the introduction in the early 1980's of on-board vehicle computers, which made OBD possible. Early instances of OBD would simply illuminate a malfunction indicator light, or MIL, if a problem were detected-but would not provide any information as to the nature of the problem. Modern OBD implementations use a standardized fast digital communications port to provide myriad realtime data in addition to a standardized series of diagnostic trouble codes, or DTCs, which allow one to rapidly identify and remedy malfunctions within the vehicle.

I'm not a mechanic / technician but I believe a 1995 Lincoln Town Car has the OBD I system , there is probably an EEC TEST connection in the engine compartment
OBD stands for "On Board Diagnostics". OBD-II gives the vehicle owner or repair technician access to the status of the various vehicle subsystems. The OBD-II standard provides an extensible list of Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Starting with vehicles manufactured in 1996, the OBD-II specification was made mandatory for all cars manufactured in the United States to be sold in the United States.
It has obd 1It has obd 1
No, it is obd 1.No, it is obd 1.
On a 1994 Ford Ranger ( which is OBD I , EEC IV ) should have an EEC TEST connection in the engine compartment ( P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician )
Should be OBD I, OBD II is 1996 and newer
It is OBD 2
obd 2
OBD 1
No. I don't know the Taurus, specifically, but the OBD II standard does not provide non-computer access to codes, such as with the older GM CCC system using a jumper.
