Techstream and Technical Engine Management Sharing Thread

Then aren't you jumping the gun here a bit with this thread? lol

 

He is a pretty slick engineer. I spoke to him about his methods.

 

No. I have a good share of colleagues on TW that know what I do. They will likely hop in and away we will go.

 

His name is Wayne.

 

Now I'll be here twiddling my thumbs waiting for data and logging then.

 

Rev 1 wasn't available in Canada when my was upgraded, so there is still a hope. But I experienced 3rd to 4th gear flare just the other day. Nothing to be too concerned about, but was there. Will address at 12K service, not worth worrying at the moment.

 

I don't know her name. She was Japanese. She came to my dealership a few months ago, after I spoke to the local Toyota rep about my hypothesis.

 

Yeah. The valve body leaks down when the fluid cools. The rev 1 causes a curcuit, in the valve body, to purge out a bubble before your transmission shifts to 4th gear.

 

Yes. TW is the source of Toyota engineers' education.

 

I don't know her from TW. She is one of 3 Japanese engineers flown in at the request of the VP I know in Toyota.

 

Uh..





Smith.

 

Cheers

 

No, Brady.

 

Too much cough medicine tonight?

 

Well shit, this went down hill fast.

I have a 4cyl that has never had this problem. I know there was a different TSB for the 4's that came out for a 2-3 upshift, but I never had that either. I'm a little confused on that one- I thought it was the same exact 6 speed regardless of engine?!?


Anyways, back on topic. How about a little bit of how-to on using a techstream for the 3rd gen? I see tutorials occasionally but they seem a little spotty either not for our gen or wildly different, like some people pay $400 for a cable and others pay $30, some discussion abound about the cheap one's compatibility, etc.

 

No. I just like the salutation.

 

No Sir. I design electronics for TTIGroup.

And the way they are so polite, so unCanadian!

 

First, I would never recommend flashing code on your truck. You could do $$$ damage if something goes wrong.

I use this USB OBDII cord, and it works well.
