Anyone know which EEC system a 1997 R plate Escort GTi uses?

Is it EEC IV or EEC V?

I need to get the fault codes read and the garage I took it to could not communicate with the ECU. I think they were using the wrong reader.

I have a 16 pin port by the passenger footwell which points to an OBD2 system (Hence EEC V) but I read somewhere that Ford used this port with the old EEC IV management for a couple of years on the changeover.

Any of you knowledgeable folks have any ideas?

 

should be eec iv mate.

take the panel off in the footwell, and pull the ecu out, it will say on the back of the plug connector (typical...)

 

Thanks

Thats what I thought, I think they saw the port type and were trying to use an EEC V fault code reader on it.

Should it say the type on the ECU itself anywhere? I don't particularly want to unplug it as this would reset any stored codes.

 

yes mate, pull the ecu out, turn it round 180 degrees and it will say on the plug.

 

Cheers
