96 explorer trany is in backseat

[fcku]

Hi thanks to any and all help i receive from your forum

i just got a 96 explorer from a friend that said the trany locked up so he towed it home and pulled the transmission this was about a year ago

from reading some of your post i noticed 1karkarzyguy had made several replies claiming the importance of retrieving the codes, he felt the codes would identify the faults. i have always been Chevy and well Chevy's codes will tell you which end of the car has a problem i am surprised to hear how much faith 1karkarzyguy has in ford's diagnostics.

am i able to retrieve the codes from the unit with the trany out and is a scanner tool a must or can it be jumped out and count the light?

thanks

Welcome to this forum! You could only read the codes with the transmission in the vehicle. Disconnecting the battery will clear the codes. You will need a scanner which is capable of reading manufacturer specific transmission codes.
