to check the codes on a 5th gen lude,
take out the little carpet panel on the center consol right next to the gas pedal,

there should be a little connector there (blue i think)

just throw a paper clip in there and read the codes,

long flash = 10

short flash =1

hope this helps

 

OK A 5th gen has the connector/port is under a cover on the righthand side of the console. You will see it is covered in carpet and simply pulls off. In there are 2 connectors-one is the OBD-II connector and the other is for the jumper. That is where you need to be to pull the codes. A code scanner would be a very good thing to use. Dealers charge ~$80 for this test, btw.

 

or just go to advance auto or auto zone they will pull the code for free

what console center i am assuming and by right do you mean driver or passenger side and pictures would be awesome.....I have looked all over right now passenger kick panel is off and carpet is peeled back revealing the ecu cover and more advice would eb great

raylude thanks a lot that photo really helped let me know if you if i can ever help you or your friends i know just about everyway to fix a supra....ama0787 on those forums too.....thanks again

 

why the hell is mine on the driver side then :S

 

wat car u got? a 5th gen?

 

yes

 

ok i went to one of those links at the top and it helped but what if my CEL goes on but then when i turn my engine off then back on it goes away then a couple days later it goes on and the same thing happens. Its only goes on like 3 times a month or so.

How do I check the code if it keeps going off?

EDIT - i have a 4th gen

 

nvm found it

 

teg969 i could swear that all 5th gens have it on the passengers side are you sure its a obd2 port?

 

well i sure hope so because ive been checking my codes with that, i just checked them actually last monday...maybe the wire was moved or something....
