What the? Any more info? What CEL did you have? Did they say anything about the flash/ecu at all to you?

@OmarGC I mailed a complaint to Toyota Japan, not sure if they understand my English but you never know. Do you have a link you can post to Japanese GT86 forums? Been trying to find some

Don't we all have same ECU version installed in the cars??? Seems something more mechanical to me.
Well i do agree that it seems strange to just be ECU related. But then again modern cars use the ECU for everything and one simple error or bug can cause alot of problems.
I do think it's possible that the ECU have diffrent software in it depending on when the ECU was programmed.
The ECU is probably installed with software at some place then shipped to the assembly line and installed to the car.

Maybe some crazy engineer decided to add a bug to the software which uses some random command to produce CELs at a random point (since people are seeing CEL at totally random miles and VIN nr)? The plot thickens!
