Toyota Camry trouble code 96

I have a 1999 Toyota Camry. Its check engine light has been on for a while now. Using the "bridge" method, it comes out with a code 96 (nine flashes, short pause, six flashes, long pause). However, I am unable to find out the explanation for it. Please let me know if you happen to have the explanation, or if you know a URL with a comprehensive list for the OBD I codes.

Regards,

Would you be a bit more specific? I have already spent tens of hours on the net before I post the message. I would really appreciate it if you could post/email the text interpretation for code 96. I have even telephoned the Toyota Customer Relations for help. They cannot find anything for it.

Thanks Peter. I have checked the URL before I wrote the original message. It only lists the two-digit codes up to 86. What I need to know is about code 96.

Essentially, one needs to connect pin 4 & pin

13 on the OBD connector, than turn the ignition key to the on or run position. The check engine light will start to flash. The number of flashes indicate the code. It works for my car, but it may or may not work for other make/model/year.

A 99 is OBDII. You need a scanner to obtain the code. Go to a parts store and get them to scan for you. Cheers, Mike Davis

Unfortunately, it is not true in Australia. I have a OBDII scanner and it does not work. OBDII started in US in 1996, 2000 in Europe and will be officially OBDII compliant in Australia in 2006.

OBDII scanners are not common in private hands here. No parts stores in Australia can scan ECU code. I need to book a service with a mechanic to do it. Typical cost is A$65 and booking a week in advance.

All I guess I can say is there's nothing like a standard. Good luck with it. In the US, there's isn't an OBDI code 96.
