Yes, however this is only for OBDI vechicles (SC years 92-95). OBDII needs a scan tool in order to pull codes. Any auto parts store can do this for free.
For reading the CEL flashes there should be a set on one flashes each seperated by about half a second or so. After that there should be a small gap of about a second or so. Then another set of flahses will go off. If there are multiple codes there will be about a 2-3 second delay in the flashes.
Example: with the paper clip in mentioned above, blink-blink-blink small gap blink-blink-blink-blink will mean code 34. If you do a search on goolge on Toyota OBDI trouble codes you can then decipher what the code is saying and what the problem area might be. This might not be 100% right as i have only done it once on another vehicle (mine is OBDII) so someone correct me if i've missed anything.
