I'm after something that will read a OBD port, rectangular port in engine bay. As I have no other way of reading for fault codes, as the 1UZFE has been transplanted.

Ive noticed several scan tools available, but have no idea which one will read a 94 Celsior engine.

Anyone have any clues on this.

Surely someone must know what tool will plug into the engine bay OBD 1 port.

Is there a way to do it manually, with a test light ? As the engine isn't linked to the dash in a std car.

Ive tried one scan tool but couldn't get a reading from the engine port. Ive emailed your link Scott so will see if they have any ideas.

Have you used the standard ECU with your transplant?
If you have connect a light to the "check" wire from the ECU and follow the paper clip diagnostics. The light will flash any fault codes.

The diagnostics port is unique to Toyota, it is not OBD1. I have tried a SnapOn scan tool but it only wants to talk to the inside round port.

Its running std ecu.
The diagnostic port has an output 'W' which is CEL output. In diagnostics mode it does give out a reading via the multimeter. However the voltage is in mV, and hard to read with out a test light. So I might need to get a low voltage LED to read it.

On the Soarer ECU it grounds the check light. Power for the light comes from the gauge fuse then through the light and then to the ECU to be grounded.
Check the wiring diagram and the end of the diagnostics page.

Thanks for that Nathan,

Now that check light, is connected to 'W' in the diagnostics port, if I run a check light straight off that to ground, that should flash as per dash right ? Its definitely cycling a code when in diagnostics mode through 'W' port, but voltage is very low, not enough to run a light that I'm aware of.
Is this correct, or have I overly simplified this ?

Mine runs from positive to the light then to the W wire.

Nathan, your spot on,
So for reference sake, bridge TE1-E1.
Then run a test light between B+ and W.
Fault codes will start flashing with ignition on.

steve is probally correct as i said above , OBD2 started in the mid 90's and i would think toyota would be leading the way.

OBDII was introduced in the US in about 1996 or so, Toyota actually took quite a while (say mid 2000s) to properly adopt it in Aus at least (not sure about Japan) - for that 10 year period they had their own proprietary setup that looks "like" OBDII but wasn't.

We have 2 1997 JZZ31 soarers in our household fleet and both have had aftermarket OBD2 scanners successfully used on them.

If anyone is interested to know I have purchased an Actron CP9690 OBD scanner and it works great on my 1991 UZZ31.
Plugs into the round circular plug under the dash, does not work using the rectangular plug into the port on top of the engine (eventhough it comes with the rectangular plug).
Reads error codes and as well reads live data and all the other features..

Hi Goetz, does it read transmission code details, such as the ECT and O/H details?

Hi Daniel, I'm pretty sure that I was able to retrieve codes, but thinking back I don't recall having any codes to read at the time, but recall seeing live data okay. Easier to use a paper clip and retrieve codes that way via port under the dash

Thanks,I've used scan tools before at an auto electrician and they give more precise error details, but they probably also cost a lot more. Maybe I'll try the paper clip under the dash, for the auto.
