WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford ZX2 and 2002 Ford Escort. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Connect New Generation Star (NGS) tester to Data Link Connector (DLC), located under instrument panel. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Select MODEL YEAR and VEHICLE. Select DIAGNOSTIC DATA LINK. Select ECS. Select DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODES. Select RETRIEVE/CLEAR CONTINUOUS DTCs. Press C-ALL.
- Clearing of individual DTCs (C-ONE) is not supported by ECS module. The NGS will retrieve DTCs again after clearing DTCs, and if any remain they will be displayed. Hard DTCs will be redisplayed after clearing DTCs since they cannot be cleared from air bag ECS module.
