2016 OVTune Tacoma 3.5L Manual Transmission / Engine ECU Reflash

Got it, makes more sense then. Cool deal man.

 

I can't download that for some reason

 

Just in case some of you aren't following the MT update thread, there is a Toyota OEM Flash update available that will bring everybody up to date.

16/17 - 04B10/11/12 to 04B13.

18 - 04A70 to 04A71.

Fuck 04B10.

There's no M/T specific TSB yet, but the CUW files from Toyota for TSB 0058-18 include the M/T stuff.

Have a read of the other thread for details.

No bullshit, I did the update this morning and am running 04B13 OEM right now.

 

Good deal... Please send Matt what ever he needs to incorporate this into 1.05...

 

So what's that mean for us that are tuned? I don't intend to ask my dealer for it, and I don't get the impression that my dealer would update me without asking first, but if they did, I'm assuming we'd then have to wait for the appropriate ECU map to be released by Mat? Seeing as we'd be on a new ECU version.

All that being said, I've another 2500mi before my truck sees servicing and I don't blow through the miles like @Shellshock does, so i expect Mat will have an update out before it's a concern for me. Just gonna assume we'd request the update and then flash 1.05 for 04B13?

 

Kinda want to run 04b13.... for science. Would be interesting to see what Toyota did

Just changed my oil this morning. 60k on the truck now and 10k miles since June 19 lol

 

this flash takes whatever ECU you have, 04B12 and earlier, and upgrades you to 04B13.

04B13 is, in terms of driveability, the unicorn we've been chasing all along. it's linear, filled out, and smoother. there a little loss of OV's tq bump, but that will return as he reworks this new base. it's amazing and I'm really feeling right with the truck's drive right now, kind of amazed... and very much looking forward to OV enhancements.

 

I think I’ll have to try it out. I need something to do tomorrow anyway

Now that @MOC221_ isnt 04b10, it’ll be interesting to see if there’s more consistency between the trucks or if his is still old and bitchy

 

@mZiggy are you going to flash to 04b13 or leave the unicorn as is?

 

Already done

 

Truck runs really well on 04B13 so far. No cuntiness at all.

It lacks a bit of throttle snap and of course the added midrange power of 1.04A 91, but in all honesty it's a damn good effort from Toyota.

Dude, just do it already. You'll be fine until Mat releases 1.05.

 

Unicorn??? Please.

Everyone is gonna be a honeybadger after some 04B13 love.

 

Damnit now I have to buy the cable

 

I just flashed from A47000 to A47100. Just did a quick trip out (about 20 miles) and so far it is smooooooth. Great linear throttle, good gas mileage just based on the computer. Power is down a bit from 1.04A91. Overall it’s a great driving experience. If mat can add in the power and keep the smooth nature of this new tune this truck will be damn near perfect. Very happy with the fix from Toyota.

 

Somebody doing the update should make a how to video with the new TSB update so idiots like me can do it with confidence

 

You have a '18, go have it done at the dealership.

 

Yea, thats def. an option. I just had a service appointment for an oil change a week ago though :/ And I'm in patient and want to do it before I'll have time again to go back to the dealer. Is this just as easy as flashing a OVtune?

 

Real easy, the dealer would do it for you. When you go in tell them your having a driveability issue and experiencing a stumble around 40mph and it only happens very occasionally. No point in taking it for a drive because it's unlikely it will happen. Tell them to do a heath check with the techstream and it will show them that a update for the ECU is available.

if they tell you it's only for the auto tell them to go ahead and do it. The update can't be done if it's not compatible so they don't have to worry about doing any harm.

 

This^^

Bring back the power, but don't mess with the smoothness. Low speed throttle control is also excellent on the new OEM calibration, so please don't f@ck with that either lol. I mean, I do want to see what Mat has in store with his "more cable like" throttle controls. At least now we have a very good base tune that Mat can work with.
