Tech Stream Bummer - Bad Disc (1 Viewer)

[PabloCruise]

Just got my Tech Stream in the mail - disc has some serious defects in it.

I would like to use this today - any reputable places to download the drivers?

Try this link. I can also look for my disc and upload and then share.

Techstream and MVCI on 64bit Windows 8.1 & Win 10 works! | OBD2express.co.uk Official Blog

Its been awhile so not sure if I used the download or the disc for install on my Win 10 Surface Pro. I do see I have two TS zip files that I did download last year. I most likely used toyota-techstream-10.10.018.zip

Thanks guys - i did find this link:

http://www.tundratalk.net/forums/tu.../109367-techstream-software-cable-35-a-2.html

and downloaded - so far so good.

I have not connected yet...

Some dumb questions:

Connector is in passenger foot well somewhere?

Should the LX be OFF when connecting?

Thanks

Connector is driver side foot well above and to the right of the gas pedal. I think I have engine running, connected to laptop, then launch TS.

Thanks. Any peril to the ECU if I cannot in wrong order?

Connect cable>Start engine>Launch TS?

No harm with incorrect order, but I'm going to be mad if you have ts and the cable installed already.

Not yet. Going to go tank up the truck before trying to read AHC pressures...

I got this working and read AHC pressures yesterday. Then I did the fluid exchange and went to read pressures today - no bueno!

Any ideas?

Yesterday:

Today:

Also, when I start Tech Stream and then connect to vehicle, it fills in UZJ and 2FE, but then it has a pull-down menu (Option, I think?), and my choices are -0208, 0208-0408, and 0408-

What do these mean? Are they date ranges? Yesterday I picked 0208-0408 and got pressure readings. Today I tried them all - no readings...

Okay, just remembered you have to raise from L to N to get pressure readings - all is well! Well, my pressures are still high, but I can read them again.

I assume you will get around to cranking on the torsion bars to adjust front pressures. What I didn't expect (maybe not news, you are likely smarter than me, most are), is that the rear pressures dropped without me doing anything other than taking off some of the pressure up front.

Biggest thing with the LX, make sure you select LX, as it will auto-select the LC. If it flags the LC, you might not see AHC readings.

Thank you! You can see in the upper left corner the Tech Stream has it listed as LX470 - I did not have to set that.

Still not sure what these options signify.

Did you set your TIS as Europe or USA? One install I had asked me similar questions about my Prius until I realized I had installed it as a Euro version. Switched to US version and all was well - almost - now it complains about the version of Java (newest) I have installed.

I saw it mentioned you should select Europe as your region?
