    It's already there. It's called "hold the gear a little longer".

    I would love to be able to clear my learned values to see if it helps with my misfire count. I logged 7 on a short run according $0C under Mode $06 using Fusion

    I downloaded the version of TS that was posted on the new calibration thread for the MT trucks (even though mine’s an auto, I don’t think it should matter). This one:
    http://blog.obdii365.com/2017/05/09/toyota-techstreamv12-10-019-free-download/

    After a successful download, I am failing at the point where it asks for the Key. When I open the Key.txt file, I copy and paste the contents. I click ok, and then it asks for the Key again.

    I don’t mean to turn this into a TS discussion, so I’m happy to take this to a PM format with anyone willing to help. Thanks in advance.

    Mike

    On the FM, it's called FOB, but Mat called it "performance FOB", so it's "performance"

    Plus, having FO was already more "performance" oriented to begin with. We have what we needed.

    I’m a dongle user. I followed the instructions and got everything downloaded/installed/updated, but in Flash Manager under “Tuning”, I don’t have an option for PCMFlash. There is an option for “P5Flash Utility”. I have the new PCMFlash 1.1.99 in my OVTune folder.

    Any idea what I’m doing wrong? The dongle is plugged in, but I’m not connected to my truck...is that the issue?

    Install and use PCMflash to flash your truck.

    Everyone, please... please just wait for the new version.

    I'm disabling download links now because this seems to be impossibly hard for you guys to do : wait for new build.


    I only recommend clearing it if your truck experiences issues after flashing, like the few with the stumble.

    Yes, but Mat made a comment that you use PCMFlash from within FM.

    how are other dongle users bringing up pcmflash after downloading your files? start pcmflash through FM or standalone?

    He posted a revised version of flash manager (ver. 1.0.2) yesterday that added this functionality. But like Mat said, wait for the new version.

    so can you try to start the new pcmflash directly and flash from there? use FM only to download your file.

    Sure I can try, if that’s the correct process. Was just trying to follow Mat’s instructions...
