gonedawning Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Does anyone know if there is a Diagnostic Test that can be performed at home? Tired of paying $250 a pop for a verbal explanation of the problems and no information in writing. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr08 Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 My personal recommendation and go-to: An OBDLink EX and Forscan. Forscan is free for basic diagnostic work and the OBDLink EX is relatively cheap (usually runs about $50-$60 USD). This combination will pull basically any trouble codes including Ford proprietary ones as well as viewing detailed real time data that would normally be exclusive to Ford's internal IDS software. That said: This isn't going to handhold you into a solution. Any scantool out there, including Forscan, will just give you trouble codes as the vehicle stores them. They may or may not directly pinpoint to the actual cause of an issue. Some knowledge is needed to understand what the vehicle is telling you. Feel free to post anything you find to this forum though as well as any specific issues you're having, and someone may be able to help out.
