Checking codes is perhaps the most important step in diagnosing problems with your 5.0. It is free, easy, and effective.

Materials Needed
-a paperclip or a piece of wire approximately 3-10 inches
-pen and paper

To get accurate results it is important that the car is fully warmed up

Step One
-Find the self-test connectors. They are located behind the driver side strut tower if your Mustang is a 1986-1993, and behind the passenger side strut tower if your Mustang is a '94-'95.

1986 - 1993 Mustangs VIP Connector Location
 -
 -


1994 - 1995 Mustangs VIP Connector Location
 -
 -


-Connect the Self-Test Input (the single wire connector) to the SigRTN (the top right "window" of the house-shaped connector) using the paperclip or the wire.
 -
 -


Step Two
-Now that the connection is made, grab your pen and paper and sit in the driver seat.
-Turn the key to the on position, but do not start the car. This will initiate the "Key On Engine Off" or KOEO Test.
-Keeping an eye on the Check Engine Light (CEL) you will notice a quick and brief series of flashes. These are not usuable for these tests.
-Next the CEL will flash slower codes. These codes are the ones we want, so its time to start counting them. The spacing of the flashes determines the number, for example: a code 67 would be shown as 6 flashes in a row, then a small pause, followed by 7 more flashes. Between codes is a longer pause. Each code will be repeated twice.
-When the KOEO codes stop, you'll notice a much longer pause and then a seperator pulse (a single "solid" flash).
-Now the Continuous Memory (CM) codes will flash. These codes are output essentially the same way as the KOEO codes.

Step Three
-after the CM codes are finished, turn the key to off for about 10 seconds, but leave the Self-Test connection hooked up.
-Now you will want to start the car. The idle will raise substantially and the CEL will flash four times in a row (indicating that you have eight cylinders)
-this will be followed by the Key On Engine Running (KOER) codes that are output like the previous tests.

Step Four
- If failure codes were retrieved from any of the self-tests, register at my5oh.com, access our Codes Description and Codes Troubleshooting Database, and lets fix your Mustang ....we'll help you with any question or interpretation of the results......

- Start by Checking your codes here:

Optional Testing
Cylinder Balance Test
-Immediately after all KOER codes have been output, a quick WOT rev will initiate the cylinder balance test.
-The codes shown are of a slightly different format, that is, they are multiples of ten. 10, 20, 30, 40, etc. for example 9 flashes would equal 90.
