How to get and read my cars OBD I info from car, what dash instruments to watch

Under the hood of the OBD1 Toyota Camry there is a little black box sticking up somewhere along the edge of the engine bay that says "DIAGNOSTIC" on the top. It opens, and inside the lid there is a list of letters and numbers for ports. Make sure the engine is off, key is completely off and removed. You just have to take a paperclip or wire and jump from (connect) E1 to TE1 by pushing the paperclip or wire into the ports. After that, turn the KEY to "ON" but do not crank the car. The check engine light will flash in a pattern. The first set of flashes are the tens position, the second set of flashes are the ones position. five flashes, pause, three flashes, pause, would be 53.
