Look under the dash near where the steering wheel is usually located (on the driver's side).
Was this vehicle marketed in the U.S.?
1996-97 MODELS
NOTE: These models require the use of the Toyota's hand held scan tool or an equivalent OBD II compliant scan tool.
NOTE: When the diagnosis system is switched from the normal mode to the check mode, it erases all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) and freeze frame data recorded. Before switching modes, always check the DTC and freeze frame data and write them down.
From communicating with him by email, it appears the car was manufactured in Japan.
I'm not familiar with the Japanese models from 1996 on up that were required to have an OBD-II connector for U.S. distribution.
Perhaps the vehicle didn't have one if one can't find it anywhere. I'm not sure about the Japanese counterparts to American cars.
It seems to me, that it should have one, though, since it's a useful feature for diagnosing problems with the vehicle.
If you posted pictures or diagrams, I'm not getting them!
I'm sorry, but the picture of the obd-II connector on the driver's side is located behind a door in the plastic dash that flips up.
Sometimes, pictures and diagrams do not copy and paste to the fixya.com site very well.
Sorry, about that.
Do you see 'x's where the pictures or diagrams should be?
Sometimes the fixya.com site doesn't accept copy and pasted diagrams or pictures from my online resource. Sorry about that.

He said he checked in the location that you are telling me the check, and found nothing. I'm just wondering if because it's a diesel engine, that it would make a difference?
Yes, there are red X's where the picture should be. He removed the plastic cover and send me a picture, it is a picture of the fuse box, and the OBDll connector is not there.
