Just had CEL pop up at 1950 miles. Came up at stop light -surprisingly engine was smooth on idle. Had one or two noticeable rough idle/ near stalls in the past but the light never came on.
Did a quite a few WOT pulls during break in (when engine was warmed up, never over 4k) so I definitely didn't baby her. What the latest with the brz? Are they just reflashing the ECU or are they changing parts as well -as Toyota has been doing? Vin 28xx supposedly late jul build. Last edited by Kieranz; 10-16-2012 at 08:36 AM. |

Not sure if this has been answered or not and I'm not trying to derail the thread, but have any of the first FR-S owners, that were part of the, "First 86", have any issues?

Aside from the lower cost of maintenance and availability, are you sure it didn't also have anything to do with the nearly double base price MSRP? I'm just messing with you haha |

Now I'm concerned. My vin is 6024XX. There's VINs above and below me I've passed 1350 miles so far and the car has been solid.

Need to get the reflash..the dealership told me the CEL was due to the HPFP..found out that's another issue and that the CEL requires the reflash. |

Just an update from the dealer. The new ECM should be delivered today. I'm expecting the vehicle to be returned to me later this evening or tomorrow pending no further issues. |

Older 811 ECU: SU003-04522
New ECU: SU003-04568 My scion rep explained to me that the 4568 is the same as the 4522(This is what I was told) the 4522 is re-programmed and then later on updated through the vendors that process the ecu's. My ETA is confirmed for the 3rd time on Thursday, Darren *rep* also notified me of a few people picking up their cars in the DC/metro area this week and so far everything good with their replacements. only 2 more days for my confirmation

Update : called the dealer back, problem was with the VVTI system. If I understood him (I'm no expert), they're going to replace the cam gear. I told him about the ECU, but unfortunately, as long as Toyota Belgium/Europa don't advise it, they're not going to do it. So IF the new ECU is the correct fix for the CEL/SL issue, there's a strong possibility my car will be back at the dealer in xxx KM. I didn't ask for the specific code (P0019/18/17...), will do that on Friday.
The new parts have been ordered today, arrival on Thursday, so if all goes well, I should have my car back on Friday. So I've only lost three days, not bad imo. Rental car is still the Corolla AT (loool). |

Also that 7200 shift was an emergancy, avoiding 2 near misses due to shananagans My cel would flash, or stay solid, or reset its self but I was in limp mode 95% of the time I dove it (10 out of 31 days) Drove 800 miles total this weekend after ecu flash. 5 hours strait up and 5 back. No cel no dip. Any stop idle was at solid 650rpm My biggest fear is that it will come back. I drove both legs with no radio on listening to the car the whole time. As of now I feel my issues are fixed |
