Actron 9640 Manuel D’Utilisation

Due to different processor calibrations, the Ford Function List for a particular 

vehicle may or may not appear as shown. Based on the vehicle information 

entered at the Vehicle Setup menu, the tool automatically recognizes the 

computer system installed. 

If the function is not supported by the vehicle, than the scan tool 

does not display it.

Ford vehicles manufactured from 2002 to present automatically use Global 

Most Ford vehicles prior to 1996 use the EEC-IV system. Vehicles with 

Mazda-sourced engines use the Mazda Electronic Control System (MECS). 

Refer to “Appendix A - Data Link Connectors".

 If the Scan Tool displays an Error Message, make sure the adapter cable

is securely attached and the ignition key is ON. Cycle the ignition key to

OFF for 10 seconds, then ON. This may be required because the Ford

system allows only one Self-Test function to be performed for each Key

ON. Attempt the test selected again and if the problem remains, refer to

The Manual Info function instructs the user what section of the manual to use.

The Read KOEO Codes function activates the KOEO (Key On Engine Off) and 

Continuous Memory self-tests which retrieves KOEO and Continuous Memory 

DTCs from the PCM. 

• KOEO DTCs are transmitted through the PCM data link when a trouble 

condition is active. KOEO codes remain until the trouble condition becomes 

inactive – usually when the fault is repaired.

• Continuous Memory DTCs are stored in vehicle’s memory at the time of 

occurrence during continuous self-test monitoring. They will remain there 

until the problem does not reoccur within 40 warm-up cycles, Fast KOEO 

codes have been read, or the Erase Codes function has been run. 

Continuous memory codes follow the KOEO codes in the data stream.

The DTCs are transmitted in two formats; both transmit  the same information:

• Slow Codes are regular service codes that allow the user to identify the 

faults with an analog voltmeter or the check engine light. Slow codes are 

transmitted within 3 minutes.

• Fast Codes are transmitted within seconds and must be read with a 

diagnostic tool. Retrieving Fast Codes erases Continuous Memory Codes, 

Slow Codes does not. Fast Codes do not apply to MECS vehicles.
