The open flash tablet can flash the new update if I need it too? Sorry I am new to all this. When you are tuning your engine I am assuming it the ECU we are altering...so we could flash the need ECU update with this equipment too

It can flash one of the off the shelf tunes all of which have the corrected timing. There are several ways to flash the ECU each with their own strengths and weaknesses. This thread has some decent info on the different ways from a lowest cost perspective.

torque app and cheap obd reader can read ECU calibration ID It found under "Adapter Status" in torque app. If your ECU calibration is 400C 700C A00C manuals or 400D 700D A00D then it doesn't have the transient retard fix (di seal fix) only later roms ie A01C/D B00C/D and B01C/D had this Basicly Toyota/Subaru stuffed up a setting in ecu that disable transient retard feature above 5000 rpm. so its mainly a problem for cars shifting gear at or close to redline rpm . the ignition timing doesnt get retarded on transient (gear shifts or on/off throttle at high rpm) and it can induce bad knock especially on poor quality fuels ie 91 or similar If you use good fuels it help a lot but does not eliminate the issue. If you have old rom it would be best to update. you can update to the new factory rom if you or someone you know has a Tactrix cable ($170 usa) ive posted up the stock factory roms you need here the same tool can also load aftermarket tunes http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62332 . |

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I am having a hard time figuring out the correct answer for this.
I will be tracking my car, so I want to make sure I have this sorted. I have a build date of 06/12, but I have a newer ECU ID of ZA1JB01C. This was flashed by the dealer back in 2014. Am I okay to track using the current rom? Steve99 makes it seem like I am good, because I have a newer software version. CSG Mike makes it seem like it doesn't matter if I have an upgraded oem tune, only an aftermarket tune will fix the issue. Not sure if I'm understanding things incorrectly. Can someone provide some clarification? |

I'd personally avoid tracking the car If your car is one of those affected. As for the DI seal thing, I believe the later flash fixed that o you should be good on that front. |

Yeah, mine is on the list. I'm more okay chancing that particular issue since it hasn't been a widespread issue from my research. The recall still isn't in the stage where people can get their cars fixed yet.
