Toyota says the problem is not mechanical, and that the ECU’s software will need to be re-mapped (or “re-flashed” in car jargon) if it has less than 100 miles on the clock. It says that if the odometer reading is higher, the ECU should be replaced.

Automotive News quotes Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons as saying: “It does involve the variable valve timing, but it does not involve a mechanical repair.”

Subaru, however, claims the fix is not dependent on how far the car has been driven – instead, it claims the ECU simply needs to be re-flashed.



OK so which statement is correct, toy says or subi says.

Baby run in. No way. Gradually thrashing it works for me.
