96 F-150 Trouble codes
My check engine light is staying on . I want to know if I can get flashing trouble code by grounding a wire at the diagnostic test plugin terminal like you could in some older models from GM. This is the newest Ford I have ever owned. Can I check for a trouble code without the diagnostic tester? 96 F-150

I believe that the 96 is OBD-II instead of OBD-I, for OBD-I, pulling the codes is just like you said, and here's a link on how to do it: http://www.broncodata.com/tech/codes.htm
I'm not sure on OBD-II though, I know you can goto Autozone and have them read it for you for free though.

Thank You for your reply.
How can I find out if my 96 F-150 is OBD-I or OBD-II ?

Like acerockola77 your 96 is OBD II and Auto Zone will pull your codes for free , they just wanna help you spend your cash on parts
.I bought my own code scanner just so I'd have one and it sure comes in handy and the funny part is I live a block from AutoZone
