i have an 06 tc 5spd and i am installing my s/c next week i was wondering if i can send my ecu to anyone on here to have it flashed one problem though...the tool is used is there any way i can still use it? thanks

 

For someone to do it. The would need the toyota reflash tool. Costs about $500. And the module, i THINK, not positive is a one time use.
Your dealer should be able to do it for under $100.

 

The best place to send it to would be Sparks Toyota, aka TRD Sparks. They are a sponsor on the site and have said if you send them the ECU, they will do the reflash for you.

 

The reflash tool is a one shot deal and around $500.

 

yea I found a dealer to do it for me but the only thing is my tool is used...that didn't sound right but yea I gotta try nd buy a new one

 

The one shot module isnt $500. The tool it plugs into is $500, and is reusable. But usually only the dealer will have the tool. The module, should be cheap, but I dont know where you would get one.

 

06 tC SC Reflash Module:
PTR41-21056 Retails for... $400.00 yikes!

The tool is $500, but not all dealers have the tool. Check with Sparks. Since they are on the east coast, you should be able to get it back fairly quickly. Just remember the static-free bag!! and insurance (just in case).

 

oh wow, didnt know the module was that much. Thats insane,

 

yea I checked with spark they tole me its 400 and they don't even mark it up that's there price and they do 95 for a reflash and that's including shipping to me and stuff which is pretty good I would just put my aem f/ic on but I want the reflash as a good map to start with plus so I can at least drive my car for a bit

 

you can order the module from any toyota dealership. but sparks beat what i got mine for and i get a discount from toyota i gave $450. and gave 90 to have it tuned. so your better off sending it to sparks.

 

so you decided to get the reflash after all huh?

 

Before you do that I would see if you can get a estimate for how much it would be to tune from scratch make sure they do part throttle tuning also.
You can drive the car without the reflash but only with the stock pulley and airbox, your idle would be a little rough with the bigger injectors though.

 

yea i'm thinkin about just doing that i was getting a little impatient b/c i am going on vacation in 2 weeks and i wanted the s/c in before i left but i think i'm just going to go on my trip and then when i come back get the harness for my aem f/ic and the wideband and all that other stuff and just get it tuned
