On some if you turn key on, off, on, off, on. The check engine light may start to flash the code. blink, blink, bink, pause blink would be 31.
Yes, try turning the key on, off, on, off, on and counting the blinks of the check engine light.If that does not work an OBD 1 scan tool is required.Yes, try turning the key on, off, on, off, on and counting the blinks of the check engine light.If that does not work an OBD 1 scan tool is required.
Yes, but with the provision that there are no problems as seen by the car's computer. Disconnect the negative battery cable for a couple of minutes then reconnect. This will erase any trouble codes stored in the computer. If everything is okay, the CHECK ENGINE light will stay off. If the computer sees a problem, the CHECK ENGINE light will come on again.
Go to the local library and obtain a repair manual for any escort up to 1994. Your car has the OBD 1 which is easy to access codes from but you will need the key as there are many codes that can be stored. Basically you take a paper clip and short across the diagnostic link and the engine light will flash but again there is a procedure you need to follow. I have done it many times but not on an Escort; but is is not hard once you get the manual.

When showing code SPN523512, which typically indicates a fault in a vehicle's engine control system, first check the vehicle's diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using an OBD-II scanner. Review the manufacturer's service manual for specific troubleshooting steps related to that code. Inspect relevant components, such as sensors and wiring, and consider performing tests to confirm the fault. Finally, if necessary, clear the code and monitor for reoccurrence after repairs.
You need an OBD I scanner.
With an obd 2 scan tool
With an OBD II reader. Instructions come with the reader. Codes are standard.
Yes, a 1999 Toyota Corolla can have its check engine codes read without an OBD-II scanner by using the diagnostic connector under the dash. By shorting specific terminals on the connector, the check engine light will flash a sequence that corresponds to the trouble codes. This method requires a bit of knowledge about the specific pin connections and the code interpretation. However, using an OBD-II scanner is generally more straightforward and efficient.
Any OBD II code reader will do the trick.
Hi, Check the decal pasted under the hood. I have a 1995 G20 and it is OBD II. Those cost a lot more than the I.
You can't
here comes the bubble buster,,, YOU DONT
Need to know what year vehicle. OBD I, you can jump to read codes, OBD II, you can't. The change was made in 1997 I think.
Then you need to have the codes read with an OBD scanner.
go to autozone they will hook up an OBD II scanner to your computer and explain the codes to you.
A person can reset the check engine light by using an OBD scanner to clear the codes. This is after the problem is fixed.
