They just trip TE1&E1 & count the pulses to read the codes like everything else. (Now they can do slow logging on the ES300's & LS/SC400's via the Vf2 data-port like an OBD-II car. It's just *extremely* limited & not worth the effort).





Short TE1 & E1 in either of the two diagnostics ports (DLC1 = Engine bay, passangers side, behind the wheel well, or DLC2 = tucked under the steering wheel off to the driver's side some)
When you turn the key to ON, it'll flash any stored codes. i.e. 1-3, 5-2, 6-9, (yeah!)

What are the problems you are having & what are the codes?
AutoZone by me has OBDI scanners...they've read my code on my 1994 Lexus when I had a CEL light (emissions related, bad charcoal canister).
