I did this on my 97 honda, ie, jumped with a paper clip to get code (read it in my chilton manual) but toyota's didn't sniff at it in manual.
So was very high on honda's easy of getting code.
While we are on subject ... how do i get Service Engine light codes ... easy.
OK ... 1 problem at a time ... what does code 61 point to.

61 is code B0132, indicating a short to ground in the passenger side seatbelt pretensioner. It's a fairly simple circuit if you know where to go, but as a matter of course airbag problems should be solved by professional mechanics, for obvious reasons. Basically, two wires go from the airbag computer to the tensioner, and for whatever reason the computer is reading low resistance to ground. The troubleshooting procedure would be checking those two wires for ground continuity, and if found replace the faulty component. If none is found, the airbag sensor is bad. My experience with these problems usually has the sensor/airbag computer at fault. Wiring faults in toyotas are virtually non-existent, so I would put my money either on the seatbelt assembly (where the pretensioner is) or the airbag sensor.
As far as the MIL, I don't think your car supports this function for engine codes. Toyota started phasing this out in the early 00's. If it does, the same strategy will work for the check engine light, though my support here only lists engine codes by the SAE standard. Most chain parts stores will use a scanner to pull a P code for you though, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Hope this helps.
