Diagnostic Trouble Code Identification

NOTE: Diagnostic information applies to 1996-02 models with 6.0L engine (No. 120), equipped with Motor Electronics Sequential Fuel Injection (ME-SFI). For diagnostic information availability, see MODEL IDENTIFICATION (1996-02)  table.

Use DTC identification to identify possible cause. Some diagnostic information is identified by chassis/model number. See MODEL IDENTIFICATION  . To further understand DTC diagnosis and/or diagnose intermittent failures, see DTC DESCRIPTION under appropriate DTC. If vehicle is experiencing a communication failure (no communication at all), see SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING (ENGINE 120) article and perform appropriate tests.
