Continuous Memory Codes (Soft Faults)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Ford Pickup, 1995 Ford Econoline, 1995 Ford Club Wagon, and 1995 Ford Bronco. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

These codes indicate a fault that may or may not be present at time of testing. These codes are used to diagnose intermittent problems. Continuous Memory Codes are retrieved after KOEO SELF-TEST. Some codes may turn on CHECK ENGINE light or Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). Corresponding soft fault trouble code will be retained in PCM memory. If fault does not reoccur within 40 warm-up cycles (80 cycles on some models), PCM will automatically clear code, or technician may clear codes from memory. See CLEARING CODES . Intermittent faults may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring-related problem. See INTERMITTENTS in appropriate TESTS W/O CODES (EEC-IV) article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section below.

TESTS W/O CODES - EEC-IV (for Bronco)
TESTS W/O CODES - EEC-IV (for "E" Series RWD Van)
TESTS W/O CODES - EEC-IV (for "F" Pickup)

CAUTION: Continuous Memory Codes should be recorded when retrieved. These codes may be used to identify intermittent problems that exist after all KOEO and KOER codes have been repaired and a Code 111 (pass code) has been obtained. Some Continuous Memory Code faults may not be valid after KOEO and KOER codes are serviced.
