What did you do to your Supra today?

[razorlab]

I’m currently at the most hard to get appointment alignment shop in my area that has a Hunter alignment machine. So excited about that but….

Craziest thing happened when I started my car today, all the codes were back off again ?. My wife washed the car yesterday and I reset the tire pressure sensors. Not sure which one made everything go back to “normal” but WTF ? And definitely not complaining.

Definitely if the opinion that these cars are finicky when it comes to the computer & sensors @DarkZupra. Maybe not all of them, but mine definitely is ?

I thought the windshield guy cleared everything with ISTA? I have to admit though, it’s hard to keep up since every time you bring the issue up the story is different.

How was install and fitment with the Wagner? Do you have data around the lower intake temps?

I would also like to know this since I can stomach the cost of the cast version over the other billet products on the market. Besides seats, harnesses, a cage, partial ECU unlock, custom tune, tires, lighter wheels, the Verus brake cooling kit, some aero components, and re-upping my drive club dues, it's the ONLY expensive part left I have left related to the car. You know, just that.

Joined the cracked windshield club. Interestingly, it's cracked on the inside and outside, but not the middle. After reading up, I cancelled my insurance appointment and will be bringing to the dealer tomorrow. I've heard some have gotten this replaced as a defect. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, the windshield guy did clear it... It's intermittent like my CEL. Comes on sometimes. Difference being I know what the CEL is from. It's not a common issue like you said & therefore stopped mentioning it. Could be tire pressure related, who knows, lol. However, lots of great threads on here from other peeps in similar situations, which will greatly help aftermarket shops work on my car. Techstream OEM Toyota software all the way, I'm finding out, and Hunter alignment machines are what BMW and our Toyota Supra techs use. So, I'm trying a highly recommended Hunter alignment place today. I've kept the windshield guys number and my mechanic is going through the nuances of Techstream software and cable(s). It's a work in progress. But definitely been great having yawls help!

Good luck Mark! Hope they replace it for you ?

What error are we talking about here. Something new?

It's not the alignment machine, it's the tech. Hell, I align mine with strings.

String alignment and some basic trig for the win.

Again, not sure why it all went away today. And they all came back on when the lower control arm bolt came off last track weekend. But happy as a pig in shit for sure it just magically went away. I did play with the on-screen prompts about tire pressure yesterday and my wife drove the car after she washed it. So maybe that did it. Who knows...

Today resetting the computer after changing the toe, more out up front, would be my concern. We originally thought it was the steering angle sensor last time this happened. But the windshield guy finally had access (Techstream) to reset that. I'm at a new alignment shop today. So hopefully if "anything" pops up (chassis stabilization, limited diff lock, parking assist, steering angle, to name a few), they will have that option as well. Finding out not a lot of kids have access to reset these codes in my area. Yet... I know Snap-On and others will gain access soon.

Protool + ISTA = everything you need

 

[adawine]

Protool + ISTA = everything you need

Do you know where to get ISTA? I’ve seen the EU stuff, but not the US software.

 

[FLtrackdays]

So Protool is the software? and ISTA is the cable. I'm learning... Is Protool better than Techstream and/or can do all the same things? ?

I've heard it will run on older windows computers. But that's Techstream and ISTA.

And if you're car ever became slightly prone to throwing these codes, could you reset them @J29DB03? Great info and appreciated

Protool is software
ISTA is software
Techstream is the Toyota service that runs ISTA anyway.
