What sort of OBD protocol do JDM cars use?

Up to 2008 most European Toyotas don't use Can-Bus, we are ISO OBD-II (EOBD).

As for your 7th gen Celica you might want to try OBD 1 scanner. This is the protocol most aging Hondas use from that time as well.

Edit: although in many parts of the world OBD-II was mandatory after 2000-2001 I found info that many JDM Toyotas do not use OBD-II up until 2003. Try with some older OBD-1 scanner I think it will work.

You can use alternative method to flash the CEL using the check engine light and then manually decode it.
