Going from SC to Turbo & want to run a stock ecm/no trd
Going from SC to Turbo & want to run a stock ecm/no trd mapped ecu?
I can help. However it cost me some cash to get the details on how to setup any ecm of the same year and type as your tC. You simply purchase a used ecm and I tell you the rest. I guarantee it to work as long as you have a good ecm. I just did it to my tc with an ecm I purchased off ebay. I can now run both the trd mapped ecm and the stock one I purhased. No wire cutting or bypassing or anything. Trick is actually the same thing toyota does to program a new ecm.
If you do not do this trick and install the new/used ecm, then the car will not start period and will never run or it may start and run for a few seconds and die. This trick makes the ecm communicate with the transponder computer and makes it all work
If you need to know, donate $5 via paypal to desertheatracing@yahoo.com Again I usually give out info for free but since I spent 4 hours or so researching and then purchasing the docs to get this to work, I feel it is worth a small donation to help recover the funds If I reach the amount I had to pay, I will release this info so it can be in the tech pages!

Nope, the code is stored in the key transponder computer. You have to make the transponder comp talk to the new ecm. that is it. all works perfectly after they start getting along
