A friend of mine has a 02 Explorer Sport Trac, and her check engine light just came on on her way to work this morning. The said the light came on, then the truck stumbled for a bit. Is there anyway to check the CEL codes without having to take it anywhere? I know in my SRT-4 which is also an OBD-2, you can turn then key from off to on 3 times, and on the 3rd time it will show you the codes. Will this work for an explorer? Thanks
 






Most local auto parts stores will gladly hook up a code reader free of charge and tell you what the codes are in hopes you will purchase replacement parts from them.
I've never heard of the key on / off sequence for codes on a Ford? Maybe someone else knows about that.
