Summary
TSB: REVISION NOTICE July 01, 2019 Rev2: ? Applicability has been updated to 2019 ? 2020 model year Toyota
vehicles. ? The Techstream Preparation and Process Overview sections have been updated. October 30, 2017 Rev1: ? Applicability has been updated to include 2018 model year vehicles. Any previous printed versions of this bulletin should be discarded. SUPERSESSION NOTICE The information contained in this bulletin supersedes SB No. T-SB-0012-13. Service Bulletin No. T-SB-0012-13 is obsolete and any printed versions should be discarded. Be sure to review the entire content of this bulletin before proceeding. Flash reprogramming allows the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) software to be updated without replacing the ECU. Flash calibration updates for specific vehicle models/ECUs are released as field-fix procedures described in individual Service Bulletins. This bulletin details the Techstream ECU flash reprogramming process and outlines use of the Technical Information System (TIS) and the Calibration Update Wizard (CUW). Flash calibration updates can only be applied to the vehicle/ECU combination for which they are intended. ECUs have internal security that will not allow them to be programmed with another ECU?s information. NOTE ECU is a Toyota term used to describe integrated computerized devices responsible for managing the operation of a system or subsystem. For the purposes of this bulletin, the term ?ECU? is used as a generic label for the following SAE J1930 standard references: ? Powertrain Control Module (PCM) ? Engine Control Module (ECM) ? Transmission Control Module (TCM) ? Any other Toyota specific control unit

Techstream ECU Flash Reprogramming Procedure
Operation Procedure (continued)
NOTICE
Errors during the flash reprogramming process can permanently damage the vehicle ECU.
Minimize the risk by following the steps below.
Battery voltage MUST NOT FALL BELOW 11.8V during reprogramming. Confirm battery
voltage is higher than 11.8V, but be sure voltage DOES NOT RISE ABOVE 16.0V
during reprogramming.
Turn OFF ALL vehicle accessories (audio system, A/C, interior lights, DRL, etc.).
Do NOT add to or significantly change the vehicle’s electrical load while reprogramming.
Confirm the hood is open and ensure under-hood temperature does NOT exceed 158°F (70°C).
Confirm cable connections between the vehicle and Techstream are secure.
Do NOT disconnect or turn off Techstream or vehicle ignition during reprogramming.
Set parking brake.
Complete ALL flash calibration updates provided for each ECU.
If the battery’s State-Of-Charge (SOC) or capacity is in question, test with
SST No. DSS-5000P T (Battery Diagnostic Tool), and follow the DSS-5000 Instruction Manual
located at TIS – Diagnostics – Tools & Equipment – Battery Diagnostics.
The DCA-8000 battery diagnostic tool MUST be used in Power Supply Mode to maintain battery
voltage at 13.5V while flash reprogramming the vehicle.
For details on how to use the DCA-8000 battery diagnostic tool, refer to the
DCA-8000 Instruction Manual located at TIS – Diagnostics – Tools & Equipment –
Battery Diagnostics.
C. Click Next to start the calibration
update process.

Hood is open
ALL accessories are OFF
Battery voltage is above 11.8V
NOTICE
Verify the vehicle is connected to a
battery charger before continuing.
If battery voltage falls below 11.8V,
ECU damage may occur.
Then, click Start.
NOTE
If the key cycle is NOT done properly, reprogramming will stop at 10% and Cal 1 will fail to load.
Do NOT disturb the vehicle during flash
reprogramming.
Figure 17.
NOTE
ECU flash reprogramming may take
3 – 30 minutes per calibration file.
Reprogramming time will vary
depending on model and ECU
communication protocol. Vehicles using
CAN communication protocol will
reprogram much faster (2 – 7 minutes).
Does the vehicle require only ONE calibration update?
YES — Go to substep M.
NO — If the vehicle requires a SECOND calibration update, continue as follows:
For serial communication vehicles, continue to substep H.
For CAN communication vehicles, go to substep J.
