FORD 1985 TEMPO

TOPAZ 1985 TOPAZ

CALIBRATIONS: 5-26E-R21 (49S), 5-26R-R16 (Calif.)

On some late 1985 model vehicles built after 9/9/85, the calibration was changed to use a new 1986 level processor. These processors require the use of 1986 2.3L HSC base engine Diagnostic Procedures due to design changes unique to 1986 and not found in 1985.

NOTE: Do not use the 1985 Diagnostic Procedures. Condition codes may be encountered that are defined only in the 1986 Diagnostic Procedures.
