gabep Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Call your local autozone or parts dealer. They will read it free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS300dude Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Auto Zone only checks OBD II not OBD I. If you want OBD I check Ebay.com, you can get one for like $20-$60. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Rider Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I put a ScanGauge II in my 2000 GS300. ($170 at ScanGauge.com - also available at AutoZone). Their web site shows it should work on almost anything 1996 and newer, but also shows it works on some 1994 Toyotas and a '94 ES300. If you are definitly OBD I, it may not work, but worth a call, as they have excellent support. I mounted mine on the dash and use as a trip computer showing a variety of operational parameters. I also used it to read and clear a "Check Engine" light in my son's Firehawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 94gs300 and i went to kragens and got one for $30. The instruction book came with code definitions and how to clear check engine light. Its nothing fancy you count the blinks of the airbag light to get the code but it works great,saved me alot of time and guesswork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George_Jetson Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 You need to locate the connector, and short TE1 to E1. You then turn the ignition switch to the ON position (do not start the car) and the check engine light will flash any codes.. If you do not feel comfortable with this, and want a little more detail with some pics, "PM" me your email address. I will send a word doc that includes pics, and goes into plenty of detail. ( I've tried uploading these types of files before but have not had any success). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
