Some Toyota ODB-1 ECUs have a serial output allowing an appropriate scan tool to read and display live engine operating parameters,
similar to what a standard OBD2 scan tool does. This feature is referred to as Toyota Diagnostic Communication Link (TDCL).

This 3S-GTE pin-out file found here (http://st165turbo4wd.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ecu_pinouts.html) suggests that all 3S-GTE after 08/91
have TE2 pin and therefore have the serial interface.
Serial Protocol
Autoshop47 (http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h47.pdf) says it's 100baud with updates every 1.25seconds. Output consists of
14-20 status words.
More info needs to be gathered. For example there appears to be a lot of discussion on this topic on Russian Carina-e forum
(http://www.carina-e.ru/viewtopic.php?t=1145&sid=4a6e4866dd28c61c599462cb19067d9d)
That's how my program works. Good luck hacking (Вроде так работает моя программка. Удачи в осваивании)
Available Software
There exists software written by chem407 member of www.carina-e.ru, which can decode and display this serial data. It is in Russian.
Last maintainer appears to be Fuse (http://www.carina-e.ru/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1550)
It's mirrored here ( CarTester8000StableEdition.rar ), also available from here (http://torrents.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2553415) and

Claimed to work on Caldina, Lucida-X 1993 4WD 3C-TE (diesel), RAV4, Starlet, Toyota CarinaE, 7A-FE 1996, Estima 1999 2TZ-FZE.
Data cable
Cable requires two wires, female 9 pin connector for com port, and a 1.5 - 3.3 nF cap; Wire Te2 and E1 to com port pin 5 wire Vf1 to
com port pin 6 Connect both wires with capacitor Cable is complete
Typical Usage
1. Ground PC (do not use a laptop plugged into a power adapter without ground)
2. Choose serial port
3. Click read button (Читать)
4. Start engine
5. Data should be read (counter on bottom should increment)
not all data is understood yet, so you may not see parameter you looking for
ignore bit 12.7, it is not understood
oxygen sensor should flop (simply an explanation of normal sensor operation)
