CODE READER - VIENTA 1995

[DIVO]

Does anybody know if after market code reader is available to read codes in 95 Camry Vienta? Something to plug into the car rather than reading the flashing lights on the dash?

cheers

I doubt whether you will be able to get one here or OS that will work. I got a unit from the US for my 2001 Camry but have never been able get it to work as theirs is different to ours..So much for standards as in OBDII etc.

Does an OBDII Reader work on OBDI systems??

isn't there a diagnostic terminal under the bonnest on pre-96 model toyotas that you can stick a paper clip or some other sort of electrical conductor into to loop to specific terminals, and then read which one shows up on the dash?

^ Exactly

OBD2 has a totally seperate connector under the dash that OBD1 does not have. So thereforfor there is not even a way to hook the OBD2 reader up. And as stated above, there is a diagnostic port where you need to jump too conenctors. Turn the key to on, but do not start the car. The CEL will flass a 2 digit code usually. "Blink Blink-----------Blink Blink Blink Blink" for example would be code 24. then you just need to look up what code that is.

just bridge the TE1 and E1 terminals of the diagnostic terminal with a paper clip or a length of wire

every other toyota from the time is the same as this, both I4s and V6s

^ Ah, good to know the Aus cars diagnostic port is the same as the US car's.
