How to Get 1994 Mercury Sable Engine Codes

You can get the engine codes from your 1994 Mercury Sable right from home using an OBD I scan tool. This tool can be found at any auto parts retailer. When you see the "Check Engine" light illuminate on your instrument cluster, this is an indication that an error code has been sent to the vehicles On-Board Diagnostics computer. Never ignore a "Check Engine" light, or you may risk further damage to your vehicle. This same scan tool can also be used to reset the computer, and turn off the warning light after you have retrieved the codes and made the repairs.

Instructions

    1

    Plug the OBD I scan tool into the diagnostic port under the steering column just to the left side of the fuse panel. Check to see that the connection is tight and secure, but dont force the cable into the port, or you may risk damaging the pins.

    2

    Put the key into the ignition, and turn it to the "On" position. Wait for the scan tool to interface with the computer, and then display "OK" on the face of the tool.

    3

    Turn off the ignition, and unplug the tool.

    4

    Locate the "menu" on the OBD I scan tool, and scroll through it to find the "Stored Engine Codes" command. Select this, and write down the codes that the tool stored. Look up the codes on the scan tools manual.
