does obdII read 4x4 flashing codes?

[Bandido]

well, the question is already in the title...

When I have the 4x4hi/lo lights flashing, should a obdII scanner read codes about that?

Unfortunately unless it is a much wider spread problem it will not show up with a standard OBD II scanner. Ford and a few other shops have a special scanner that is able to communicate with the GEM through the EEC to get the 4x4 codes. The average scanner only scans the eec for trouble codes.

hm, I was so happy that my Scangauges came in the mail today, but I guess it won't read 'em.
I tried it and it says not codes found, but it also says - not ready - so I don't know.

have you get the codes read at a Ford dealer?

I gave up on solving my issues on my own. I have an appointment at the dealer on Tuesday.

I am about to as well. I just cleaned my second speed sensor, but it actually looked fine as did the shift motor!
I called how much the diagnostic is and they said $80, just to run the scan!!! I mean seriously...

let me know what happened!

most of the time they use the same port, but not all tools have the information.

any idea, where I coul get those codes read other than at a Ford Dealer?

 

[MONMIX]

tranny shop maybe

that's what I tried and after a few calls later I found one which scanned 'em for $30...
