1996 Es 300 Obdii Location

[woldd90]

I tried to search the forum before I asked this question...I could only find information about the earlier models.

I have a 96 ES300 and my Check Engine light came on. I have a OBDII code scanner, but I have not been able to locate the connector. I checked the engine compartment and the passanger compartment, with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

I don't think the 96 is OBDll it might be OBDl, Look into it further, I could be wrong.

Thanks for your help. That may be the case, but I thought that OBDII was mandatory on 96 and newer cars. I may have to call the dealer on Monday.

You are probably right, Easy enough to look up.

94 ES 300 with a 1mz-fe was the worlds first OBD-2 compliant car.

So Yes your car is OBD-2.

Second the connector is located inside the fuse panel to the left of the steering wheel. Pop off the cover and it is in there.

N u can pull what the codes r here.

U can also download the FSM (Full Service Manual) for ur generation. They will also tell u how to check. Go to the diagnostic PDF n go to around Page 3 or so.
