Thanks Grampaws
I checked out that list. It contained only the government required powertrain DTCs but was incomplete. Today (thanks to a friend at Autozone since I don't have a reader, yet) my ECM showed a P0457 code which is a loose gas cap or defective gas cap seal. This code did not show up on that list. I found other sites that also had incomplete lists.

I've decided to scour the web and my Helms manual and compile a list of all applicable government required DTCs (eg: P0xxx) and vehicle specific (Marauder/Grand Marquis/Crown Vic) DTCs (eg: P1xxx powertrain, B1xxx body, C1xxx chassis) and save it in a Word.doc.

I haven't done any research on the readers yet but I would like to hear from any owners about their particular reader (plus/minuses). I would assume that dealerships use a specific Ford approved device that contains all the codes.

Go to www.superchips.com and download the instructions for the Ford DTC Reader. It has the codes, including your P0457

The superchips works really well for me, but I am thinking of trying

one of the new X-cal2..the 1725 could be gotten used cheap as guys
to upgrade...:)
