Hello,
Can anyone recommend a Diagnostic Tester for 1999 LX470 so that I can read the DTC ?
Thanks

What is your Budget and how much information do you want the unit to give you?
OBDll tools run the gamut from the very inexpensive (that basically just read codes) to the more expensive scanners (that can let you monitor real time readouts).
IF you have all/most of your repair work done by a mechanic, then any code reading tool will suffice, just to give you some 'idea' what/where the trouble 'might' be. IF you do a lot of your own troubleshooting, then invest in a moderately priced scanner and learn how to use it.
I'm sure you will get some good suggestions from members here, but do some reading on your own as well. There are a plethora of reader/scanners out there today, some are MUCH better than others.
If you have a smartphone, I'd look into a Bluetooth ODB2 scanner. They're pretty cheap on amazon. Or (even better), if you have a windows laptop, you can get a Toyota tech stream cable from eBay/Amazon for about $20.00.
Download techstream and buy the mini jvc cable from ebay or amazon for 20 bucks best thing i have purchased in awhile
Cool. I see the most updated GTS is available for download here.

Would it still support 99 LX470 ?

What product would you recommend for some in depth troubeshooting capability.^ This is the correct answer. A normal OBDII device will not allow you to see everything a techstream will.

I just bought a 99 LX. I am just wondering how difficult to work on this truck on your own ?Thanks for the link, just ordered for my 99LX.
Just got my O2 sensor yesterday and had to go to Pep Boys to ge the code read. Super annoying as they avoided eye contact with myefor almost half an hour before they helped me.
Once I install the O2 will be working on my AHC.
