Four years in a Tacoma, a frustrating experience

Would replacing the battery reset the ECU and start the process all over ?

 

I asked that same question back around 2020, seems I got different opinions from the values are stored in memory, you'd need erased them, to they lose all memory when the power is disconnected, and can be relearned. All I remember on my gen1 tundra, if I removed the battery all memory was lost... I needed to reset all the radio, and clock functions. With this gen 3 tacoma when I took it off the lot, I was told about the trans operation, just to put it in drive, and use it that way till it complete's its learning stage. Try to resist using the S modes, and no trailering till at least 1k miles. I followed that advice except the trailering, but I never used the S, or ECT modes the first 1,500 miles. What can I say, but the trucks been great so far.

 

along this same topic...
Will disconnecting (i.e. replacement) the battery erase my KDMax tune? Anyone done this?

 

No sir.

 

I wish this could be stickied. Until we see the machine learning model in the Tacoma computer (lol) or hear from Toyota that it exists, there is no "learning" going on.

 

Yeah, there is, its some owner's that refuse to.

 

I know this is for the Tundra but it would not be a stretch to say the same adaptive learning is going on with our Tacos
Lots of reading here but towards the end of the PDF (page 147) it explains a little on the AI shifting
The AC60 transmission on the Taco and the A760 on the tundra are similar in a lot of ways but also different in a lot of ways. Basically the former is a bit more simple than the latter
Both have proven to be pretty bombproof over the years

I had a 1977 Oldsmobile Delta 88 that went from zero to 60 in 19:never.

It would pluck a mailbox right out of the ground at 37mph and wouldnt even dent the bumper, though. And I could fit like, 7 other people in there.
