i thought you cant do that with a 96
yeah, ive been wondering this too. The chilton manual says to use the tool for 96+. Do you think any places rent/lends them?
Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
yea i think autozone does.. well one of their people will come out and do it for you..

as far as I know there would be no reason for them to change the diagnostic port...

i thought that obd1 was in 94-95 in which you need a jumper (aka paperclip) to get the code and a 96-99 was obd2 where you can use the little thing you plug in and it tells you.
so chrobis you use a small paper clip(trick) and it works for your 97?
you insert paper clip where? and what does it do? gives you a code?

then why is every body saying you cant do that trick on 96 and above?
buy a haynes manual. they will tell you what pins to jump on the diagnostics plug
if you just want to turn the CEL off, disconnect the battery for 5 minutes

hey instead of spending the $20 on the haynes, go to the How to section right here on this webpage!
sorry for not knowing this. but where do i stick the paper clip in?

So i did the paper clip trick
and put the car in the "ON" position
and all i get is the check engine light on
no blinking
i thought i must be doing some thing wrong
so i took it to my friend
same thing
and i have 96 ST
and every body is indicating that it should still work
any sug?
Thanx

a toyota code reader is $34.99 at checker/schucks/kragen (i know this.. i work for schucks and wonder why anyone would buy this)...
try resetting the ecu.... if the light comes back... then jump it and count the blinks....
