New transmission software

I had checked about a month ago if there were any updates on the transmission software for my 17 off-road. At that time they said no. Today they let me know there is a new update. So it must be new within the last month. Anyone else hear of this?

 

Oh , really ? That would be pretty great....Toyota told me recently they were working on something .

 

I beleive they released another TSB revision recently. Not sure if it's the same as what your dealer told you about.

 

Any idea what it is?
I know mine has not been updated, but mine is shifting higher and quicker after 1200 miles, that is for sure!

 

Had mine in 2 weeks ago for it's first check....said the tranny was up to date and I got it in Jan...so who knows

 

I just got my truck back a week ago, not sure if it got the new tsb or not since the new carrier housing wasnt even listed on parts invoice just seals, gasket and nuts, along with fluid.
It certainly drives better

My tranny was updated during my 10K service a few weeks ago...below is the verbage on my paperwork after it was done.

"RAN HEALTH CHECK ALL SYSTEMS OK FOUND CALIBRATION UPDATE FOR SHIFT ENHANCEMENT. ~|~PERFORMED TSB 007-16 FOR SHIFT ENHANCEMENT OP CODE TC1601 T1-26 T2-99 FPN 89661-04K52."

 

Did you notice a change in how the tranny behaves?

 

Yes...very much so. When I took it in for the 10K service, all I did was mention how I felt the tranny was always searching to find the right gear. The service manager was cool and said they were very familiar with the complaint and would take a look. I got it back a few hours later with the completed service and tranny update. Drove it home and instantly noticed a difference for the better.

 

Nice that's good to know, I love my taco but that shifting especially if you're not in ECT around town is frustrating at best. None of this was a placebo effect right

 

Nope, not the placebo effect at all. My service manager remarked that all Toyota dealers across the country are aware and that Toyota is working on the issue...but, owners have to ask and explain. What helps is also having a decent dealer to work with.

how is everyone voicing this to their dealer? scheduling an appointment for "miscellaneous concern"? or just calling service and voicing concerns? or driving in with no scheduled appointment?

 

Here, you can check the TSB and see the PDF with each one. http://www.revbase.com/bbbmotor

 

ive had the first 2 updates on mine, 2 of the issues are gone but one keeps coming back exactly the same.

 

Hello. Who is "they"? I have been patiently waiting for an update.

@Scooby24 ,@Howanic , @smitty99 , @Lawfarin ,@splitbolt ,@jsinnard , have any of you you heard of a transmission TSB rev2, or anything if the like, or was the OP fed a line?

This database shows Rev1. I wonder if there is now a rev2. Any Toyota workers in this thread?
