94 Explorer ABS Flash Codes
Can anyone tell me how to coax fault codes from an EEC-IV style ABS diagnostic connector? I have an Actron Scan Tool, but it doesn't read ABS codes for trucks. I've seen articles in other forums describing use of jumpers to make an ABS light flash the codes, but none for Explorer. I'd hate spending $70 to have XYZ-Tune do a 5 minute scan!

94 Explorer ABS Flash Codes
Light Flash Technique
NOTE: If 12V test light is not available, the ABS warning light also flashes during this test.
Locate test connector in the engine compartment and install 12V test light between Circuits 603 (DG) and 57 (BK) in the test connector.
Key OFF. Connect a jumper wire between circuits 57 (BK) and 606 (BK/LB in the test connector.
Key ON. Observe test light.
Remove jumper between Circuits 57 (BK) and 606 (BK/LB) in the test connector after five seconds.
Count light flashes of test light or ABS warning lamp.
The DTCs are flashed out in most significant digit, then least significant digit. The digits are seperated by 3-6 seconds and DTCs are separated by 15 seconds.
Example: The lamp flashes one time, pauses 3-6 seconds, flashes seven times, pauses 15 seconds, flashes six times, pauses 3-6 seconds, then flashes 3 times. DTCs output: 17 and 63.

Racerguy et al,
I tried and retried the test but didn't get an results, not even a single flash. Any ideas why I would get no sparkles at all? It could be operator error, but I think I followed each step to the letter--even shook the cable a few times as sugested by others.
