I have a '97 GT and the engine check light has been on ever since i did my auto to manual swap. My mechanic said it was just a product of the swap, but i was thinking i shoudl make sure. I checked in my Chiltons manual and it says i need to use some special tool (OBD II scan tool) to check the code to check the codes for the 96-98 models. I dont have this tool, but was wondering if i jsut connceted the TE1 and E1 terminals anyway, will i get the beeps and be able to figure out from them? Or do you NEED the scan tool like the manual says?

Tells you how to diagnose your problem. Check engine Trouble Codes Reading Diagnostic Codes Do a search there's quite a few other posts that might be able to help you out. Search words under "check engine light" Hope this help....I've been having the same problem these past few days. But the light went away after I messed around with my O2 sensor. |

You have a 97 so yours is a obdII the terminal jumps will only work for 94-95 models go to auto zone or oriellys or your nearest auto store and they can scan it for you usually for free or if u want u can just buy a obdII scan tool for around $100 and do it yourself.

I have this code reader, the Mac ET50. Pocket sized OBD II reader, cost me about $50. I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of it.
Clicky But yeah, you can take it to Autozone and they'll scan it for free and tell you what the codes are. Depending on the person working is how much more they'll tell you, but you can at least write the codes down and google them or post them here. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
