Jim, the 12valve Scorp won't do OBD II scans, the reason for the diagnostic unit me and Harry are building. Loom on the other thread for info, it may help you  .
Sorry mate, I don't know anything about the 12v engine, mine was a 2.3 DOHC.
Hopefully someone else can help you more 
Regards, Bruce.

Open up the yellow pages and look for a mobile auto electrician.
The car may not be OBD2 but they usually have s device to connect to the older OBD standard of the Scorp and will get the codes you need and and faults.
