The video on the web page above shows how to locate the on board diagnostics (OBD) plug on your 2002 F-250 Super Duty and scan for codes.

The plug is right above the gas pedal, you cannot miss it unless its been destroyed.

If it's been ripped out, go get one from a salvage yard with long enough wires and splice it in.

Not sure about your state of Illinois but here in Cal, to pass the smog certification requirements, they have to plug into the OBD plug to communicate with your vehicle.

Once connected, they know Everything about this truck. VIN # for starters.

Even if you had to clear codes to pass, they measure the time since clearing these codes, requiring a certain amount of drive time, etc.

If the same there, get it fixed before registration comes along.
