What do these codes mean?

[Bob_B]

I am rebuilding a 1992 town car. I am getting a couple of diagnostic codes; 365 & 261. How can I find out what these codes mean?

I moved your post to this forum my friend so you can receive the help you need.

Welcome Bob_B,

I looked up the 1992 manual and I could not find those codes, but there are others here that have experience with the pre OBD2 systems that can surely help you.

Good luck.

Looking at a list of the older codes I couldn't find 261 and 365. I'll keep looking....

Neither code comes up in my Actron CP9015 manual. Are you getting them from a direct display of the codes or counting blinking lamps?

Here is a code list from the F150 site: http://www.fordf150.net/howto/eecivcodes.php that should apply, but does not show those codes either.

That's one of the sites I used : http://www.actron.com/code_lookup.php
Not sure those codes are correct...

Is it possible that the codes are 2 digit:36, 52, 61 since all those codes exist? Here is some info on what the flashes mean: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=160035

Good luck.

There are no 2 digit service codes listed in my FLM service manual.

Nor mine TABBOOMA and the codes 365 and 261 do not exist either. The EEC-IV system documentation suggests a 1991 and up should have 3 digit codes, but manuals have been known to be wrong before and currently. That is why I posted the link with the timing of the "blips" for the 2 and 3 digit codes where the author seemed to think that it took some practice to get the codes right. This may give Bob_B something to focus on to re-check the codes. I found those code detection procedures not that easy to interpret, but that was a long time ago.

Good luck.
