I bought new Yaris sedan few days ago. Yesterday I hooked it up to my KAL EQUIP OBD II code reader. Just for the hell of it. The scanner would repeatedly throw "reading error" message , regardless of "the engine on, ignition on" or "engine off, ignition on" situation. The reader works perfectly with my '03 Corolla and daughter's '02 Mazda Protege...... Any suggestions ? kd
They may have started the phase in of CAN (controller area network) protocol. You will need a reader that is CAN compliant.
Perhaps the OBD II reader can't handle the newer systems. Some of my older readers don't work on the latest models.

Buy a used '02 Mazda Protégé?
Jeff, are you asking if I'm selling Protege ? kd
No, but if you buy another used '02 Mazda Protégé, you should be able to read the OBD II codes. That would solve the problem with not being able to read the OBD II codes.

PS, it was a joke. ;-)
oooooh, ok - no i will flash my reader to CAN software compliance :) kd
