I have a check engine light soooooo I went to Auto zone to get em read. Well..... he couldnt plug the OBDII into the plug thingy BECAUSE.... its was OVAL

The connection was under the dash on the drivers side.

There might be a obd2 port behind the coin holder on the dash.

Fail. Not that the autozone tech knows this, but... OBDII specs say that the port has to be within X distance of the steering wheel. It DOESN'T say that the port has to be under the dash board.... but it USUALLY is. Anyways, in a 96+ 4cyl and in 94+ V6 camrys, it's behind the coin tray to the left of the steering wheel. Remove the coin drawer, and it's RIGHT there next to the fuses.

Before I had access to my factory scan tool, I would always argue with them that my 94 is obd2 and they never believed me until I showed them.

Not only is it OBDII, it's FULLY OBDII compliant. The camry may be the ONLY pre-1996 car that was fully compliant.

Now..... what the heck is the coin tray? LOL!

In case you're wondering, the oval is actually DLC2 for the ABS and other sub-systems. The dash harness I bought for my MR2 swap had the oval DLC2, but I didn't need it because I don't even have ABS.
