need help reading codes
hi there, i have a 95 f150 XL and i need my codes to be read. im having tranny problems and i heard that the E40D tranny is electric, so it might be a sensor that's the problem. i took it to advance, but wouldn't you know it, there scanner isn't compatible with a 95 or older. so im having a buddy do it, does anyone know where the hook up might be for the scanner..?

You actually don't need a code reader. There's a cheap one you can buy, or you can use a small jumper wire or even a paper clip. The codes flash out from the Check Engine Light. Here's a link that describes how to do it. Ford Fuel Injection » How To Run a Self-Test

Ford Fuel Injection » 3 Digit Self-test Codes 111-171 Compare the codes you get to this list (from the same site that hk gave you).
You don`t need to wire in a test light if you check engine light is working as it will flash out the codes.
