Engine Question on Code Scanners

You can read the codes yourself on the '95, just jumper the TE1 and E1 pins at the diagnostic terminal, and then go into the car and turn the key to on. The codes will blink out through the check engine light, like this:

flash-flash-pause-flash is 21
flash-pause-flash-flash-flash-flash is 14

And so on.

Question on Code Scanners

My check engine light is on. It turned off today and came back on, and seems to be on for good.

Now my question is this. I have a 1995 Corolla DX 1.6L 4AFE.
Does anybody know a scanner out there that can give me the fault code so i can pinpoint what the problem is and also erase the fault when i am done?

I think that my corolla is not equipped with OBD II, but i could be wrong.

Any info on this will help.

Thanks guys!

There is no code 17. You did it wrong, do it again.

I thank you greatly! I will be doing this right after i click "submit reply" Thank you so much!

it gave me a reading of 17.

I cant find anywhere what fault code 17 is. Help?

Yea, I thought so too.

It blinks 7 times then pauses for about 1 or 2 seconds and blinks 1 time then pauses for about 2 or 3 seconds.

I dunno if that makes any sense.

if youre sure its 71, its the EGR system, EGR? i dunno what it means...

here is the list of those codes....

You could also take the car to Advance Auto Parts or Auto Zone and they'll check it for free

hehe thanks for the site. Ironically i was on that site 5 mins before i got onto vvti lol

part is pricey....lol

Dont even know what its purpose on the car is.

AutoZone will only check a car with OB 2 not OBD 1

Ahh... true.

It's cool really. Im thinking code 71 is the right code. I will take out the EGR valve and see if it needs cleaning. Throw it in some carbuerator cleaner and see if i can loosen up some carbon residue and put it back in. If that doesnt work, I will see from there.

Technically I am not too worried about it. Only emissions stuff, and my fuel efficiency is still about the same. Since we have no emissions testing where i live, im not tthhhaaat worried.

Thanks again guys. You are all always a great help!
