The "paper clip method" connects the STI connector to a ground pin that is available on the EEC TEST connector. Works out the same... I would be very surprised that a 95 would have two digit codes. They aren't even listed for a Contour in the PCED as possiblities. It would have to be some early production freak or if it has the wrong PCM installed. However, these numbers make a lot more sense if rearranged into 3 digit codes: 123 - DTC 123 indicates the Throttle Position (TP) sensor signal is greater than the Self-Test maximum value. 539 - DTC 539 indicates the ACCS input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) was high during KOEO/KOER Self-Test. (Note: TURN A/C to OFF first) 226 - DTC 226 indicates the PCM did not receive the IDM signal from the ICM in Key On Engine Off Self-Test. 558 - DTC 558 indicates a failure in the EGR Vacuum Regulator (EVR) solenoid or circuit.

Click Main Site, FAQ, Common Problems, Engine-My Check Engine light is on, "On OBD-I vehicles (pre-1996), you can retrieve codes without special equipment, as outlined-here". Then scroll to the middle and you see links for 2 and 3 digit codes. "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles
