I have searched high and low and can’t find the correct OBD code reader/adapter, that doesn’t cost $200+… can someone post a link for the correct one? Much obliged for any help.
OBD for 1992 FJ80

Someone please correct me on this but I thought the OBD reader on a 92 is a paper clip jumper and you count the flashes on the dash. I realize technology advances so I am open to correction on this one.
Yeah you need 1995 and above to use a cheap OBD2 scanner like those on Amazon. TOYOCOM (Current Scan tools - https://zf-scantools.com/index.php?rt=product/category&path=72) works with OBD1 (e.g. 1993-1994) but not currently available. Not sure if it works for 1992. Can use paper clip method to pull codes as mentioned previously.
Comet is correct. You might be able to find something used, like the snap On Tools MT2500 that supports the pre-OBD 2 LC diagnostics.
This is correct, the Snap On MT2500 does a great job on OBD1 trucks. I've used my MT2500 for years and the nice thing about using it on OBD1 trucks like my 94 Land Cruiser. It live streams all the engine data, so no need for a paper clip or counting the number of "check engine" light flashes.

I’ll be dipped…. The ol paperclip thing worked. Code 28. Thanks fellas.
Jumping on the thread, I got on OBD2 scanner and an OBD 1 to OBD 2 converter but I am unable to get any readings although I can connect to the device.
The OBD2 works on my friends Fortuner 2015 (OBD2 ready of course), is there any work around for this ?
