Ford Historic (OBD I)

Since 1984, Ford used several different types of powertrain control modules
(PCM). Refer to "On-Board Diagnostics" on page 1-2. With the proper adapter
cables, your tool will be able to read these systems as well.

MECS (Mazda Electronic Control System)
MECS vehicles (1988 –1995) use either a 6-pin (with pigtail) or a 17-pin DLC. The
6-pin MECS adapter cable and jumper wires (P/N 9131) are used to connect the
tool to both DLCs. Both adapter cables are also available through your dealer.
