Welcome to this forum! I've renamed, and moved your thread to the EEC-IV section. Are you using an OBD-I (EEC-IV) scanner connected to the correct test port?

Your OBD-II port on this vehicle is a "dummy" port, and is not designed to work. The port that you need to connect to is located under the hood. It's the EEC-IV connector. Check the sticky threads in this section for more information.

My ,95 XLT has a dummy obd2 plug under the steering wheel, like yours. The real test plug is located in the engine compartment, drivers side, in front of the fuse box. It is an obd1 ford interface...

ISO 9141 Link Error

Does this also apply to the 2000 as well? Does anyone have pics?

OBD-2 was required by federal law beginning the '96 model year, so your 2000 will use a regular OBD-2 scanner, and, I'm pretty sure, the port should be under the steering column. I'm not familiar with EEC-V/OBD-2, but I'd probably start by checking for the power/ground to the diagnostic port. You might post this in the EEC-V forum where someone more familiar with your system can help.

It is under the column in the 2000.
