Yo Mike,
A test of the EEC system is conducted with the engine running. The sensors are checked under actual operating conditions and at normal operating temperatures. The actuators are exercised and checked for expected results. So you will here sone clicking as they perform their calisthenics. The CEL should go out until:
Engine Identification Codes (ID Codes)
Engine ID codes are issued at the beginning of the Engine Running Self-Test and are one-digit numbers represented by the number of pulses sent out. For gasoline engines, the engine ID code is equal to one-half the number of engine cylinders (i.e. 2 pulses = 4 cylinders). For the 7.3L Diesel engine, the ID code = 5. These codes are used to verify the proper PCM is installed and that the Self-Test has been entered.
Dynamic Response Check
The dynamic response check is used on some applications to verify operation of the TP, MAF, MAP and KS sensors during the brief Wide-Open Throttle (WOT) performed during the Engine Running Self-Test. The signal for the operator to perform the brief WOT is a single pulse or 10 code on the STAR Tester.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch Test
On vehicles equipped with Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch, the steering wheel must be turned one-half turn and released AFTER the ID Code has been displayed. This tests the ability of the EEC system to detect a change of state in the PSP switch.
Brake On/Off Test
On vehicles equipped with Brake On/Off (BOO) input, the brake pedal MUST be depressed and released AFTER the ID Code has been displayed. This tests the ability of the EEC system to detect a change of state in the Brakelamp Switch.
Transmission Control Switch (TCS) Test
On vehicles equipped with E4OD TCS, the switch must be cycled after the ID code has been displayed. This tests the ability of the EEC system to detect a change of state in the TCS.

For that 12" section that broke, can u pick it out from this diagram?
I am guessing its the Front Stabilizer Bar (sway bar) Link; hereare pics by rugerp89ipsc:
If it is, remove it. Or purchase what you need from a yard queen or parts store.
