OBD II ENHANCED TROUBLE CODE AUTO READER SCAN TOOL OBD2
(i can''''t get the link to work so if you guys just search the above in ebay motors it should work thanks)

i am throwing a "service engine light" on my 01 f150 supercrew 4x4.. apparently auto zone cant do free scans anymore in California because they are not a CSE certified shop and ford wants to charge up the a**.. i am almost positive its a o2 sensor cause the truck runs fine.. it came on after i was washing off underneath the truck... i figure it might be a good idea just to get my own.. thanks stephen

http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/ford/

The above site lists Ford trouble codes. You might find it useful if you use the following diagnostic trick:

With the key OFF, push (and hold down) the SELECT/RESET button on your odometer.

Start the vehicle while still holding the button. Continue to hold it down, until all of your gauges jump up to their maximum, and then return to normal.

When you see "bulb" in the digital odometer readout, let off the button. This is the gauge test mode.

Some of the things you can view on your odometer screen are:

Digital speedometer (mph)
Digital tachometer (RPM)
Digital speedometer (kph)
Battery Voltage
Engine Temperature
Plus, you can also view any TCs stored in the computer!

As soon as you turn off and then restart the vehicle, everything will return to normal.

I hope that helps.
