Here's another chart we found with some slight differences...

EEC-IV Diagnostic Codes, Rev. 1.1 2/25/93 

11 (orc): No problems found in this portion of the test

12 (r): ECA could not increase idle speed above normal idle. 
Suspect throttle body coking. KE1

13 (r): ECA could not lower idle speed. 
Suspect Idle Bypass valve problems. KE15

14 (c): Intermittent PIP signal operation. 
Suspect PIP sensor or TFI module, or grounding or
interference problems at the TFI module. Y1

15 (o): ECA ROM test failure- failure is internal to ECA. 
(c) ECA KAM (Keep Alive RAM Memory) failure. Q10

18 (r*): Loss of TACH signal from TFI (Thick Film Integration- the module 
on the side of the distributor) module to the ECA. There is an open in the SPOUT circuit. 
Suspect SPOUT connector. N1

19 (o): Failure of ECA voltage regulator. Replace ECA.

21 (or): ECT (Engine Coolant Temp) out of range. Coolant is less than 50degF 
for KOEO, or less than 180degF for KOER, or greater than 250degF for either. 
If coolant temp is in proper range, suspect ECT sensor (It won't be, for KOER 
tests on cars tha have a 160degF thermostat!) DE1, DE90

22 (orc*): MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure, for speed-density cars) or 
BP (Barometric Pressure, for mass-air cars) sensor signal out of range. 
Suspect MAP or BP sensor and harness. DF1, DF90

23 (or): Closed throttle TP (Throttle Position) sensor voltage out of range. 
Suspect TP sensor. DH1

24 (or): ACT (Air Charge Temperature) sensor voltage out of range.

out of range. DA1

25 (r): 2.3 Turbo. Knock Sensor failure. DG1

26 (or): VAF (Vane Air Flow, 2.3L Turbo) or MAF (Mass Air Flow) signal out of 
range. Suspect sensor and harness. DK1

28 (or): 1986+ 2.3 Turbo. Vane Air Temperature out of range.

34 (r): 2.3 Turbo. EGR On/Off not working. KA1

42 (c): 2.3 Turbo. EGO read rich for more than 15 seconds while in closed loop. HA8

51 (orc*): ECT voltage too high (coolant too cold, circa -40degF!). 
Suspect ECT, harness. DE10, DE91

53 (orc*): TP sensor voltage too high (indicates WOT condition). DH3, DH90

54 (orc*): ACT (air Charge Temperature) sensor voltage too high. DA10, DA90

56 (orc*): MAF (VAF for 2.3 Turbo) sensor voltage too high. DK10, DK90

61 (orc*): ECT voltage too low- indicates coolant temp greater than 250degF. DE20, DE94

63 (orc*): TP sensor voltage too low. DH10, DH94

64 (orc*): ACT (1984-84 2.3 Turbo, VAT) sensor voltage too low, indicates intake 
air temp greater than 250degF. DA20, DA93

66 (rc*): MAF (2.3 Turbo, VAF) below minimum test voltage. DK20, DK93

67 (o): Clutch switch open, AC left on, transmission in gear. FA1

68 (oc): 1986+ 2.3 Turbo. VAT out of range.

73 (r): Insufficient goose during Dynamic Response test. Rerun test, goose it 
harder. 2.3 Turbo - Faulty Throttle Position sensor. DH20

74 No Brake Switch Actuation / Cruise Control Switch Actuation Detected

76 (r): 2.3L Turbo only. Insufficient VAF variation seen during Dynamic 
Response test. DK30

77 (r): No goose detected durning Dynamic Respose test. Rerun test, goose it 
harder. M1 81 (o): 2.3 Turbo. Boost control circuit failure. KN1 

82 (o): 2.3 Turbo. Check EDF signal to Integrated Controller for short to ground.

83 (o): 2.3L Turbo only. Check for EDF signal to Integrated Controller for open circuit.

84 (o): EVR solenoid circuit failure. 2.3 Turbo - Check for EGR solenoid open circuit.

85 (o): 2.3 Turbo with Automatic (T-Bird). Check for 3-4 shift solenoid open circuit.

87 (oc): FP relay circuit failure- suspect intertia switch, fusible link, FP relay. J1

98 (r): Hard fault present. The ECA is running in FMEM (Failure Effects Management Mode), 
so something is royally screwed up that the KOEO test should have told you about. 
Rerun KOEO and fix whatever you find there.

99: ECA hasn't learned yet
