How Do I Check Engine Fault Codes On 92?

[Ronstang66]

I repaired my starter and after putting the car back together it now has a miss at idle and it is showing a constant check engine light. The code scanner at O'Reilly's does not plug into the port under the dash so I do not know how to check the codes on this car. I am sure there is a way to make the car tell you by flashing the check engine light but I cannot find that information. I am hoping you guys can help me out here.

Thanks in advance.

The Lexus has a really ghetto way of checking light codes seeing as it's such a luxury car.

Basically all you need is a piece of wire, paper and pen, and a buddy.

Check this site to get a step-by-step on how to do it.

Thank you very much. I knew there had to be a simple way to do this. Now I just hope I can figure out what is wrong with this car and fix it.

My (UK) car has a different shaped diagnostic port mounted on the engine, as well as the dash one, maybe the scanner would fit that?

No there isn't a scanner adapter for either one of the LS400 ports. You gotta use the wire.
