You can retrieve the trouble codes from your 94 Nissan pickup right from your home garage, saving yourself both time and money. 1994 Nissan pickups come equipped with an on-board diagnostics I computer (OBD I) that retrieves and stores all trouble codes sent to it from various sensors within the pickup. When these sensors detect a problem in the Nissan, they send the code to the computer. The computer illuminates service and warning lights on the instrument cluster. You can retrieve these codes using a handheld device called an OBD I code reader. This can be purchased online or at any auto parts retailer.

Instructions

1

Locate the diagnostic port near the steering column on the underside of the drivers side dashboard. It will be the same size and shape as the connector on the OBD I code reader.

2

Plug the code reader into this diagnostic port.

3

Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "II" position, taking care not to start the engine.

4

Wait for the code reader to turn on. Select the "Read Codes" command (or a similar command) on the face of the reader. Wait for the code reader to display the codes. Write down the codes it displays.

5

Look up the meaning of the alphanumeric codes in the manual. Unplug the reader and perform the servicing or repairs the vehicle needs based on the information obtained from the codes.

You can read the trouble codes on your 94 Toyota 4-Runner from your home garage using a computerized handheld device known as an OBD scan tool. This tool can be purchased from your local auto parts retailer. The 4-Runner comes standard with an on-board diagnostics computer (OBD) that receives and stores trouble codes sent to it from sensors positioned throughout the vehicle. These sensors monitor all functions of the vehicle. Once these codes have been detected, the OBD computer illuminates a service or warning light on your instrument panel. You can read the codes yourself so you can pinpoint exactly what repairs need to be done.

Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position, but do not crank the engine. This will power on most OBD scan tools. Note that scan tools vary depending on the manufacturer. Check your scan tools manual for exact instructions.

3

Wait for the scan tool to display "OK." Turn off the vehicle.

4

Press the "Menu" key on your scan tool and scroll through the menu using the arrow keys. Look for the "Stored Codes" option. Select this option. Wait while the scan tool displays the numerical trouble codes. Some scan tools will also display the diagnosis on the display, while others require that you look up the codes in the booklet that came with the scan tool.

5

Unplug the scan tool and have your vehicle repaired by a qualified mechanic.
