1997 Toyota Camry Cd Player Problem

[DCELESTIAL7]

I HAVE A 97 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH HAS THE 5 DISC CD CHANGER WITH THE TAPE PLAYER AND MY CD PLAYER DOES NOT WANT TO WORK THE LITTLE SCREEN SAYS E01. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS AND IF SO IS IT SOMETHING I CAN FIX OR WOULD I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN? PLEASE HELP.

It's too old, buy a new one, it's very cheap now

It's a reading error of the CDs. Check the Cd's for damage. I get it all the time with burned cd's and scratched bought ones.

OP,
Sometimes spraying some canned air through the CD slot will fix a read problem. It worked on my Crapillac and my daughter's Mitsu.

I also have a 97 Camry I bought new and is still in fantastic conditon today, BUT, the CD player I bought on eBay a few years ago stopped working after only using it a few times. It is an original Toyota CD player that came out of another 97 Camry. When putting a CD in it sucks it in normally, but then does nothing. After a few minutes of silence it will 'eject' the CD, never having played. I have made sure the CDs are clean with no scratches, and I'm putting them in right-side up, so I know its not a problem with the CDs. I like the factory look of having a Toyota brand player in my dash and prefer not to put an aftermarket brand in, and if there are any tricks anyone knows as to what I could do to get the player working I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
