SES Light+OBD scanner

[crimey617]

Hi all,

I have a 2002 Explorer XLS. The service engine soon light recently came on. I borrowed an OBD scanner from my Brother in law to check the codes. However, I don't know where the connection is. Can anyone tell me where I connect the scanner to? Better, yet link me to a picture? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :roll:

Welcome to this forum! Check the lower part of the dashboard underneath the steering column.

Thanks! I found the outlet and obtained the Trouble Code: P0401 for the EGR valve. I did a little digging and found that Ford had issued a TSB 02M01 regarding this valve and something about an extension on the warranty. Of course I was never notified of this TSB! Anyway..does anyone know how long the TSB was for and If Ford will repair it at no cost..I know...I know...wishful thinking but a guy can dream can't he?!?!!?

Ford will only replace a part for free which is a recall. Check Dead Link Removedfor more information.

Only For The Recall Not For A Tsb...

The code is probably caused by the DPFE sensor. This thread has some useful information on making this diagnosis.
