if that year is a Fuel injected motor then you can go to fordfuelinjection.com and see how to pull the codes from the computer.

The actual mcu or ecu unit is usually behind the drivers side kick panel in the cab. The test port, as mentioned, on the engine compartment driver side fender well.

I have a 97 F 250. My port or plug for the code reader attached to the bottom of the dash just to the right of the steering column. It's rectangular and should have a cover on it. What i have found out so far is you should check the "Differential Pressure Sensor" before replacing the EGR valve. i can't tell you where that is yet butI'm working on it. The ccode on my truck is P0402

problem with your 97 is your talking about a completely redesigned truck running a OBD2 based system this truck in question is running OBD1 circa 81-95 & OBD2=96-Present. On my 19990 theres a cover it slides up into and snaps into place on the breather box. however on my 1987 it's exactly like they've said it's on the fender well Drivers side
