If it is a 2wd sapph cos they don't support meaningful fault codes, do you have a particular problem ?

You would need a so-called Led-tester or Star-tester from Ford to read the codes.
There are 9 codes available. So very basic.

What he ^^ said, although you can easily make your own LED reader, don't use myself as usually easy enough to figure out what's wrong, if EMS related at all, fault codes just make it easy.
