  • Engine diagnostic software

    Apologies, just posted this on the "Engine - petrol (150 series)" forum and then realised it should have been in the diesel engine forum.

    Can anyone tell me if there is available any engine diagnostic software that I can put on my laptop to diagnose ,and reset components to defaults, engine problems in my diesel 150 series. I go out into the central Australian deserts each year and would hate to get stuck because some computer component threw a wobbly. I would like to be able to diagnose and reset things if that was the case, if possible. Thanks, RayS

    Surely you would need a mate at Toyota for this one?

      Hey Ray

      If you need to do that kind of stuff then you must be an acomplished mechanic, you will be surprised what Toyota Roadside Assistance will do to assist. If you start resetting yourself then I suspect that your Toyota warranty will be severly affected. We have done the deserts (one trip we did seven deserts) in a 90 and 150 series petrol and as we have serviced correctly never had a problem, that's why we buy Toyotas.

      See ya on the tracks, Richo.

        A scanguage will allow you to read error codes and reset them.

        A Dashdyno unit, although more expensive than a scanguage will do the same thing
        and also has a graphics screen that can graph and display selected data.

        You can also use the Dashdyno as an interface for their optional software that you
        can run on a laptop etc to interigate items such as the ABS system, SRS airbags system
        etc.

        See their website for more info www.auterraweb.com/dashdynoseries.html

          I'm a computer dunce, so forgive me if this is a stupid question.
          Read the dashdyno website, but confused. I use a Mac, and seems their software is windows based. Does this mean I couldn't use it or I would just keep it all on the dashdyno? Still able to read engine codes?

            Hi,

            The Dashdyno unit is stand alone itself, has it's own software (see the site for example screens) it has similar
            functions to a scanguage but is later generation device capable of display hundreds of vehicle ODBII parameters
            on a LCD graphical display, it can display them on its screen as a graph, digital read out or as a meter representation
            etc.

            It can also read and reset OBDII codes, has a trip computer function and can display power & torque graphs.

            You don't need the windows software, I believe the software just gives you access to enhanced ODBII options and non ODBII items such as the ABS and SRS system and more advanced real time graphical displays. The Dashdyno becomes the inteface device between the PC and the engine management system in this case.

            Hope this helps.

            Cheers
