If you read the tech article, and maybe didn't understand part of it, why didn't you ask?
Your "check engine light" is really called a "malfunction indicator lamp" by Toyota. This from the very first paragraphs of the tech article: "The ECM contains a built-in self-diagnosis system by which troubles with the engine signal network are detected and a malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument panel lights up...
The diagnostic trouble code can be read by the number of blinks of the malfunction indicator lamp when TE1 and E1 terminals on the data link connector 1 or 2 are connected."

and what if the car has some another problems, after I read one do I need to re-connect again for next code?
