97 3rz check engine light
« on: Feb 04, 2010, 08:35:37 PM »
well I got a check light on the way to work today, was wondering how to read the codes without a reader? like on the older trucks that you can pin the terminal on the inner fender, is it possible to do the same with these?

I know, I know I'm still searching as we speak, thought you might be faster than me  :crossed:

Isn't there a certain way to turn the ignition to get the light to blink, giving you a code?

You can jump T1 to E1 on the diagnostic port under the hood.  That should get your check engine light blinking some codes.
