How to Pull Codes From a 1994 Toyota Pickup
You can pull the codes from your 1994 Toyota pickup right from home using an OBD I scan tool. This tool is used to retrieve trouble codes and reset the On-Board Diagnostics computer (OBD). It can be purchased at any auto parts retailer. Sensors positioned throughout the vehicle monitor all the functions of the mechanical and electrical functions of the pickup. The OBD computer alerts you to any trouble codes by illuminating a warning or service light on the pickups instrument panel.

Plug the OBD I scan tool into the diagnostic port located on the drivers side dash under the steering column. The port is the same size and shape as the OBD I scan tools cable. Dont force it into the port, or you may bend the pins.
2Put the key into the ignition, and turn it to the "II" position, but dont start the engine.
Turn on the scan tool. Wait for it to retrieve the codes. It will display them on the face of the scan tool.
3Write down the codes.
4Unplug the scan tool, and turn off the vehicle.
