J1850 PWM - (Ford engined cars) The connector should have locations 2, 4, 5, 10, and 16 populated
Most Fords use SAE J1850 PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) communication patterns,
There are currently five different OBD II communications protocols in use: KWP, PWM, VPW, ISO 9141, and CAN. OBD II Protocols:Auto manufacturers had some flexibility in the communications protocol they can use to transmit parameters or PIDs, which are required by law to be uniform, to scanners. If your OBD II port is not there, look under the dash and behind ashtrays, on some Fords it slides dowm below the dash. Most are located under the steering column. Where is the Diagnostics socket located? It must be located within three feet of the driver's seat and must not require any tools to be revealed.

The correct (cheap domestic) scanner will read 99.9% of codes and do most of what a pro scanner can do exept things like recoding injectors etcĪll petrol engined cars after 2001 and diesels after 2004 must have an OBD11 port Your car may have a PSA engine rather than a Ford engine, also there is several different OBD11 protocols and if you just buy a "generic" scanner it may not read your Ford fault codes, i use a bluefin handset and it deletes/ resets engine fault codes globally (all at once) Is this used for real time monitoring or can it be used to reset faults in different modules? I've heard good things about the Torque app before. Can anyone confirm that it does work and also if it resets airbag/abs and other fault codes etc. I had a quick look at the F-Super 2 and that doesn't list the S-Max.
