Where is the 1995 Toyota Corolla OBD port location?
I’m a relatively new driver, and I inherited a 1995 Toyota Corolla. I’m determined to make it last for as long as possible, but my check engine light recently came on and I’m not sure how to scan the diagnostic code for this car. Where is the OBD port located?
