CTM Controlled System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Mercury Mountaineer and 1997 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To retrieve DTC(s) stored in CTM, ignition key must be removed. Using jumper wire, connect terminals of CTM test connector. CTM test connector is located behind left kick panel. CTM test mode is now active. To exit test mode, remove jumper wire.

Two-digit DTC is evidenced by sounding of CTM indicator chime. Groupings of chime tones are separated by one second pause. For example, 2 tones followed by a pause and then 2 more tones indicate DTC 22. DTCs are cleared when power is removed from CTM. DTCs may also be cleared by moving the ignition switch to START position at any time during diagnostic test procedure.
