The Ford Escape uses an OBD II diagnostic port located under the left side of the dash near the steering column. Pull fault codes require the use of an OBD-II state code reader or scan tool, the scan tool is better because it gives more diagnostic information than does a code reader. Pulling codes is simple and well within the capabilities of the average home mechanic.
