Question EEC-V Test Location

Hi,

A newbie here, I'm having a tough time finding the EEC-V test plug on my 1995 Ranger 4.0. Any Ideas ????

Tanx

Welcome to FTE koolhorn.

Look in the cab, drivers side, under the dash, close to the steering colum.

Thanx for the reply,
Is it the socket below the access panel next to the hood release ???
If so I've got the wrong code reader, the pins on the reader are flat and the socket looks like it recieves round pins.

Not sure, but I think your 95 is EEC-4.

See this link www.superhighoutput.com/tech_view.php?id=5

If you have a connector like that under the hood, it's EEC-4.

On my 95 Taurus the connector is attached to the passenger side firewall.
On my 87 Ranger it hangs by it's wires in front of the blower motor and it took me awhile to find it the first time i had to pull codes.

IIRC, 95 was a transition year for the electronic engine management system in Ranger. They started with EEC-IV then transitioned to OBD-II. The old dash assembly was used through 1994; those vehicles (4.0L engines anyway) had the EEC connector on top of the L/H inner fender skirt near the PDB. On the 95+ dashboards, the EEC service port should be at the bottom of the dash, under the steering column.
