How to check C.E. trouble codes (Ford) sorry ;-)

The guy in the store next to mine had the check engine light
come on a couple times in his van. I told him I'd see if they can
be checked without a code reader like GM.

1993 Ford Aerostar Van, V6 3.0.

Question:
1) Can I jump at a terminal like GM? (if so: which points to jump?)
2) Does the check engine do three(3) code 12's (one flash then two quick
flashes) before trouble code?
3) Website for the found code? If it can be done as described above?

Thanks guys.

Ric, it can be done with a old style vom, but it is a real pain to do
on fords as they have key on engine off codes, key on engine running
codes, if you REALLY want to do this for this guy send me a e-mail to
(remove the xxx) leave me a phone# and i
will get you the info on how to do it. but my suggestion is to take it
to some one who has a scan tool. PS thanks for your help with my home
theater and the suggestions on the radio for my C4 Greg

Greg, thanks so much for the info!
I just didn't know if I could do a jump like with a GM.
He will have to take it to get the code read. I don't want
to jump through a bunch of hoops when he can spend a 15 bucks
and get someone to put a reader on it :-)
