Locate the DLC on the Ford Contour. The location may differ slightly according to the year, but most usually it is going to be beneath the driver's side dashboard close to the steering wheel . It truly is trapezoid shaped and you can refer towards the plug on the finish of the code reader since which has to plug into it.
Plug the code reader into the DLC and turn the ignition crucial to the "key-on/engine-off" position. This can be two clicks clockwise to ensure that all powered solutions are operable without the engine running.
Follow the onscreen menu on the code reader. The battery with the Contour will power up the code reader once plugged in. You won't have to turn on a power button. There could be a few possibilities on the onscreen menu determined by what kind you're using, but most will have an "enter" button and an up and down scrolling button(s).
Scroll the down arrow until the cursor on the screen of the code reader displays "read codes." Press enter. After the command is sent, (it may take a few seconds) it may possibly display the code(s) or tell you how many were found or pending. Follow the onscreen instructions of the code reader and select the enter button to read all the difficulty codes including pending codes.
Write the codes down on a piece of paper and refer to the chart to diagnose the problem. Not all difficulty codes read by the code reader or even a very expensive computerized will reveal the problem with the vehicle. There may possibly be circumstances where investigating the difficulty code may be necessary, or certain repairs might be needed in order to proceed.
