2016 OVTune Tacoma 3.5L Manual Transmission / Engine ECU Reflash

Yep, BFO test file did very well on the highway (10.5L/100km avg over about 120km). That was with the CC locked on 102km/hr.

I can't say too much about the latest FO version B that was just released, as I've had my right foot buried a lot lol.

The commute this morning was pretty much bang on what I always get.

 

In case anybody was having a similar problem to me with the error messages...This morning I deleted flash manager and the files I downloaded from it and started from scratch with flash manager 1.0.4, and just flashed 87 FOB no issues...truck is idling now

 

I still cant get this new flash manager to work. Im pulling my hair out.

On the same laptop i had the old files on i installed the new flash manager. It failed to install so i wiped all the old files and flash manager off the computer and reinstalled. This got the flash manager installed, but i still cant get p5flash to work. I cleared the old files, installed all files then updated, downloaded my file and now p5flas is grayed out. When i try to open pcmflash i get the following error: when i click on tuning>pcm flash utility, i get an error that says guardant dongle not found make sure that the guardant dongle is connected to the computer and that the latest driver is insatalled.

 

91 FOB here, so far milage seems slightly improved but can't say definitively yet.

That would be improved over the 1.05a 91 tune fwiw.

@OVTune when the dust settles from things and you get around to working on a rev hang elimination version, still interested in testing for you.

 

I'm no expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but I had the issue with p5flash being greyed out. I believe you have to hit "download all software" in flash manager, then p5 shouldn't be greyed out so you should be able to select it and download whatever tune you like.

 

are you dongle or dongleless? pcm flash is for dongle, p5flash is for dongleless.

 

I've done this several times. I am dongless shell.

I've just wiped everything from my computer and started over. I still get stuck at the same part. I get to the part where the instructions (which i've followed word for word) tell me to open Tuning>p5flash Utility. I do it's available to click on, however when I click on it the only thing that happens is that in the bottom lower left corner of the flash manager is reads "ready..." no other windows open, p5flash utility does not open up for use.

 

Then you need to submit a ticket and wait for us to help you troubleshoot further and get this fixed

 

Im stuck on the last step, When I click "Flash it!" and select the file to download it says "There was a problem preparing the selected file"
Did I do something wrong perhaps?

 

Make sure you're using the newest version that's provided inside the flash manager

 

already done.

 

The newest version of what exactly?
Edit: I installed p5Flash today and Toyota Flash manager
Edit again: Got it to work

 

Any chance that you have some sort of Virus or Malware protection software on your laptop that is blocking it? I had Malwarebytes loaded last night and had the same issue with the p5flash greyed out. I uninstalled Malwarebytes, selected download all software, and closed flash manager. When I restarted flash manager; "p5flash" was no longer greyed out and I was able to flash without issue.

 

Yep. Make an exception for the Toyota Flash folder.

 

The only antivirus i have running is windows defender on that laptop. Its not greyed out anymore. It just does noting when i click it now. Doesnt open up p5flash

 

Disable Windows Defender completely, it may not be allowing the application to open.

 

and as mentioned above you can make an exception in Defender for the directory

 

Which drop down menu item do we select in this part?

 

P5 CAN under Toyota toward the bottom

 

That’s what I thought. Flash was crazy fast. Got it done though.
