Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Since this has gotten buried and people keep spreading misinformation, here you go.

10 minutes is plenty. No need for 15. Or 20. Or an hour.

 

Never had any surging since 1.0.

 

I’ve recently had something of a rough idle after driving for a while and the truck is at temperature and sitting at a stop light. I’m running 1.04 91. Anybody else experience this?

 

does this still need to be done?

 

If you stick ur usb in and the serial number comes up in lower box then no. If it says its not detected then yes

 

Stock tune surging right after start made backing out of garage across a city sidewalk a tricky dance. Letting it warm in P for 20 seconds solves it. Still a bit with the new tune but, again, warming solves it.

 

Thanks for digging that up. I can literally hear myself learning

 

That is exactly what I had to do in order to get the flash to work. Is download to the new current version of Flash Manager. Flashed the truck with 1.04, drove it for about 15 minutes and what a difference it makes. It acts like a brand new truck now. Well worth the money.

 

How do you get the most current version? When I try and download the version on the OP I try and open with internet explorer and nothing happens just keeps asking wether I’d like to save the file or open.

 

When did 10 minutes become 20 minutes?

 

I'm a believer that it's necessary to "floor it" a couple of times as well. If you've gotta let the low end re-learn, I'd imagine the high end needs it, too.

 

I heard it was 2 hours? I can't keep it straight!!! all these numbers.

 

I'm a firm believer in redlining the vehicle, any vehicle, for 45 mins following flashing your ECU. If you have turbos, it's crucial to immediately turn off your vehicle immediately following your letting off the throttle.

 

You forgot the red line clutch dumps to ensure it learns being under load.

 

Of course. I'm an idiot.

 

Smh

 

Ok guys so i read my ecu and sent over the bin file to Matt. Do i need to wait for something else or can i go ahead and flash my ecu/tcu? seems that i have the 0403 ecu.

 

Adding to the chorus ... 1.03 was awesome. 1.04, however, is flawless. I no longer think "why couldn't my Taco's throttle response/transmission programming be more like this" when I drive something different. That list includes a QX70, a GLA, and a Ford GT (kidding on the last one).

 

So I just did all those great suggestions that everyone mentioned and now I get this red light on my dash...not sure what it means?

 

You only have to read your ecu if your trucks ECU is not supported. Otherwise you can go straight to flashing
