OBD I and II is a federally mandated protocol for auto manufacturers who wish to sell in the US. It only covers emissions related items. OBD I was the first iteration and ended in 95/96, when they mandated OBD II (more informative/advanced). Your 97 will need a OBD II scanner. You can either purchase one, or, like Autozone, have your car scanned for free, which is a great service.

Hi, Obd 1 and obd 2 . On Board Diagnostic.
You will have the choice of either obd 1 or 2. Obd 2 requires a scan tool which connect to a 16 pin connector usually no more than 2 to 4 foot if I am not mistaken. To do OBD 1. use the link i sent to you below. Good Luck.
According to the OBD-II standard, requests to a vehicle's ECU via the OBD-II port are made up of two bytes (excluding header and CRC bytes). The first byte determines the desired mode of operation, and the second byte is the requested parameter identification (PID) number. The ECU will respond with a two byte acknowledgement and possibly some number of data bytes.
[edit] Modes
There are nine modes of operation described in the OBD-II standard (SAE J1979). They are:
Show current data
Show freeze frame data
Show stored trouble codes
Clear trouble codes and stored values
Test results, oxygen sensors
Test results, non-continuously monitored
Show pending trouble codes
Special control mode
Request vehicle information
Vehicle manufactures are not required to support all modes, and they are allowed to include custom modes above #9.

The 97 toyota camry is OBD II compliant. That means that a scan tool for OBD I will not work. The scan tool must be capable of OBD II operation. Do yourself a favor and take the car to a reputable shop.

OBD 1 will not work on your car because it is a 97. After 95 all cars converted to OBD 2. 1 is not better than 2. 2 is deffinately what you want to go with.... good luck!
