- I'm not too sure you need anything like the above. I have an '85 Ranger
- that *does* need a VOM or something for the indications, but my '88
- T'Bird outputs the codes over the "Check Engine" light.

- Viola! Nothing more to hook up! Isn't this the way it should be--
- to be able to check your computer without (except for the jumper)
- leaving the driver's seat?

- Maybe they've changed things on the newer models, but I can't see why
- they would want to de-invent helpful things like this.
-
- BTW, I've had not trouble at all out of the EEC-IV that I haven't been
- able to fix. Just my experiences.....
