1996 Toyota Corolla DX

The 1996 Toyota Corolla DX features a 1.8 liter, DOHC 16-valve, cast iron block, aluminum cylinder head with belt-driven camshafts. The engine generates 105 horsepower with 117 ft-lbs of torque. Emission control is managed by an OBD II Scanner, 3-Way Catalyst and EGR with exhaust temperature sensor and a backpressure transducer. The car uses regular unleaded gasoline and a distributor with a variable reluctance crank and cam sensors boost its ignition.

Technical Notes

OBD II DLC

The 16 terminal OBD II DLC (data link connector) is located underneath the instrument panel and is used for communicating with the PCM. The DLCI connector is located next to the left shock tower in front of the master cylinder, and is used to assist the technician with additional driveability and emission related diagnostics, learn more about how to OBD2 scanners work at this website. For example, jumping terminals +B and FP in the DLC1 with the key on will energize the fuel pump for pressure testing. For checking ignition timing and idle speed, terminals TE1 and E1 should be jumped to retard timing to its base setting. Terminal IG is used to connect a tachometer for obtaining rpm readings.
