At the time I wrote this How-to, I was also testing this cable on a RAV4 where I was able to customize the above settings for seatbelt alarm, door lock etc. The Hilux is missing pin #6 & #14 (CAN-bus) on the DLC plug, that is required for customization. Update : The 'Customize' section does not apply to the Hilux. ĝisabling seatbelt beepers (driver & passenger) ***: There is a catch with these, more info in the How-to section Injector compensation code read & input Ěctive tests (manually activating relays, vacuum valves, swirl valves, turbo stepper motors etc.)

Resetting or initializing the ECU (pulling the battery cable for an hour and pumping the brake does the same, but doing it with Techstream doesn’t reset the clock or radio memory) Freeze frame data (allowing you to view all paramaters at the time the trouble code is generated)

Trouble codes (reading and clearing of check engine lights) Live data and also graphing or trending of that output (output from all the sensors on the car including injector flow, temps, mass airflow rate, fuel pressure etc.) Health check (overall status of the car) To my knowledge, you have the same capabilities as Techstream Lite. The cable has a chipset in the OBD plug, that allows the software to communicate with the ECU and plugs in to the DLC3 socket under the steering wheel.

For that price, you get a Chinese copy of the more expensive Mongoose cable seen in the flyer above, and an unlocked copy of Techstream software. The kit I’m talking about will cost only a fraction of the dealer setup at $35-$50. Techstream demo (skip the hardware part): Techstream software is used by dealers all over for diagnostics and reprogramming of Toyota, Lexus and Scion cars from 1996 - onwards. I have some spare time now, so here goes. I’d like to apologize to those members on here whom I’ve kept waiting for this, life tends to get in the way of things. I already mentioned this in a thread here, but I thought a dedicated thread would be more appropriate. In my search, I came across this diagnostics kit that I would like to share with everyone. cough, I looked for ways to repair or at least diagnose it myself. As I’ve been having problems with the EGR on my 2007 D4D Lux recently, and I refused to bring it to the dealer.
