Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL.
Having read some of the replies, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a minor remap.
Toyota in their wisdom have the software in the ECU such that it cannot be downloaded, modified and
reloaded. It has to be a complete reload, either stock or modified.
All you fellows disconnecting the battery is a good and simple way to try and reset everything but similar
results can be achieved by simply disconnecting the ECU. That's the big plug in the firewall passenger
side.
Meanwhile I may need to start a new topic for the following issues I am experiencing:
Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the
clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a
dial gauge but no useful info.
Bit the bullet and replaced all 4 with new slotted rotors and pads from DBA. Huge difference in braking. However the shudder
has return almost with a vengeance. Thought I fixed the problem when I disconnected the ECU for another
unrelated issue. ECU is remapped, car went in limp mode and could not clear it with the scangauge.
Problem not fixed and I am lost as to why this is happening. Plan on visiting Berima Diesel later on this year
to have the injectors checked and I'll get them to look at the brakes if I still haven't figured it out.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thank you
