Where can I get OBD 1 Checked out at?
Guyz....I need your help...I need to know where I can get an engine code error checked for 92 sc400. As of right now I believe my car needs to change one of the o2 sensor cause I'm only getting 260-270 miles per full tank. I remember that b4 I bought my car several months ago, engine check was on. I asked the old
owner what that was and he told me o2 sensor was out but I forgot which one. But three days later, after I paid him and took the car home...the check engine light never came back on. I believe that since my car
is a 92 that it must be OBD 1...is that correct? Most places now don't carry OBD 1 testers anymore. I tried the search function and found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
Btw...what is the average miles per full tank on a 92 sc400...anyone know??

Yes, ur car is an OBD-1. You can find your OBD behind the carpet next to the drives fuse box. If u r in Tulsa then bring it by here and I can show you. You can check the code yourself using a paper clip - but I don't think u r going to get a reading if ur check engine light is not on. Open the cap of the grey circular plastic OBD and then put oneside of the paper clip in TE1 and the other side in E1 ( or if that doesn't work C1). Turn the ignition switch to on, but don't turn the car on. It will flash your check engine light a certain number of times, followed by a pause, followed by more blinking. For instance FLASH, FLASH, PAUSE, and then 7 more flashed would indicate 27 - which is sub O2 sensor.
I think I usually get about 310 miles per tank on a complete fill. I have a BFI and exhaust mods though so I don't know whether that has helped. Have you changed your air filter recently? Spark Plugs?
Good luck and let me know if I can help with anything else,
Peace,
Jonny

Do the diagnostic yourself, it's very simple. There is a list of the codes somewhere around on the site

I believe that Toyota and Lexus uses an O2 sensor with two circuits having four wires. One circuit is for the engine management and has two colored wires. The other is a heater circuit that preheats the sensor and has two black wires. Usually when the O2 sensor is bad the preheater circuit has gone bad. You can pull the connector apart going to the O2 sensor and check the preheater circuit with an OHM meter. Put the meter probes onto the lugs of the two black wires in the connector. You should get some reading of maybe 8 to 10 OHMs? Anyway the reading should show something more than zero for a good sensor. If any one of the sensors is bad it will throw a check engine light code. Check all of them
