Ford fault codes

104 distinct codes across 90 real Ford diagnostics.

104 distinct codes across 90 real diagnostics on Ford, including the Ford-specific ones no generic code list can decode.

Ford-specific codes

These are manufacturer-specific, which means the same code on another marque is a different fault. That is exactly why they have no page of their own and no entry in any generic code list. Scoped to Ford and ranked by how often we have actually seen them, they are a claim we can stand behind.
