Looking for OBD info

[Ice]

The "check engine" light has come on in my car and I was looking to buy a code reader/scanner.
Can anyone tell me what kind of tool I need for this car?
Is this mulpiplex-obd (mobd)?


Toyota Yaris Sol NCP10 2NZ-FE 2000 model

Your best bet is a scangaugeII
Talk to Garm aka cali yaris , from Micro image

volts, air temp, mpg ect ect :thumbsup:, check out the link.

Auto parts stores will carry code readers. In the USA they are very inexpensive. It should be the same for you.

does anyone know the year that OBD I changed to OBD II ?

and when CAN was started?

As of January 1, 1996 all new cars sold in the U.S. had to have OBD2. Most makers introduced it with 1996 model cars.

Most of Toyota car has diagnostic connector (16 pins) that looks like OBD-II standard. But it will not work with OBD-II scanner. Actually, it M-OBD standard.
Lot of people do not know this, so they buy OBD-II scanner and ... it does not work
Just for help, I give you guy a solution: EFI scan - Low cost OBDI, M-OBD scanner for Toyota & Lexis vehicles:

Guys, he lives in Iceland. No Walmarts, I don't think. If you have an Android phone you can get a program called "Torque" which can be paired up wit ha bluetooth OBDII reader off ebay. The program is 5 bucks, and the reader is about 20~
