Hello everyone,
I own a 2012 Land Cruiser 200.
I made a costly mistake changing factory exhaust to a terrible (direct) one.
During the process of fitting this buggy exhaust the garage had to change some parameters on the ECU.
Without this change on the ECU the vehicule was rejecting heavy white fumes. From what i understand this white fume is because above certain engine operating temperatures the vehicule is configured to burn what has been accumulated inside the factory catalytic converter (removed).
I have restored the whole factory exhaust thru a Toyota Dealer but i need to restore the factory ECU params too and they say they can't help me. According to them only the person that has changed the params can do it (from a backup file before modification).
I found it very strange the a Toyota Dealer does not have the tools to make what a small, unqualified garage can.
Does anyone here knows if its true ?
What secure option do i have to restore this ECU to its original parameters ?
This whole adventure taught me a lesson not to mess with a modern vehicule.
Thank you in advance,
Sincerely
