My brother has this scanner. https://mactools.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ItemNum=ET9640 I'm pretty sure thats it, because it has all these different connections so he can use it with any vehicle, BUT from reading that it sounds like it wouldn't do an EEC IV vehicle, right?
Anyhow, my brother tried to use it with Mad Bronco, the '89. And its got an EEC IV connection and the book lists it as being able to work. But when he plugged it into the lil dealie under the hood, the scanner said can't find the DLC? It would never light up like its supposed to when he hooked it up.
This scanner he has could really help find the problem with the Bronco - it not only reads codes, but it can tell you the timing, it can check every sensor, give you tranny fluid temp, everything - IF we could get it to work. Any suggestions? The plug to read codes IS under the hood right? Its the one we used when we did the self test with the multi-meter. There was another plug under the dash, by the gas pedal...what is it for?
And while I'm at it. Where is the computer located on the '89? There's a box with wires going to it under my driver's seat, my dad said that was the computer, but I think its something else. :shrug
Thanks ya'll! :thumbup
