if u've had ur battery disconnected rev ur car til the engine light comes on and then turn it off. Find the diagnostics box and put one end in the E1 and one in the TE1, the locations can be found in the top of the box. Once those are in place, turn ur car on, dont start it, and the engine light should begin to blink.

It'll blink a certain number of times, a short pause, and then blink again.
The first set of blinks represents the first number in the code, the second represents the last such as:
* = blinks
***......****... that would equal 34.
A longer pause will be between different sets of codes, and the longest will be when it repeats itself.

Now the only thing that you might have trouble with is deciphering the codes. I dont kno if the MR2 ECU codes are the same as the Celica ECU codes. The website I went to to match them up is HERE.
This website should be bookmarked to ALL ST185 owners as it is a very useful website.
