Too bad its only "Beginning with some 2001 models and expanding to all models by 2007, Toyota/Scion and Lexus vehicles are equipped with flash reprogrammable Powertrain Control Modules (PCM). Reprogramming should only be performed if a Technical Service Bulletin or Service Campaign provides direction to do so. "
I was a member for one day and its all Repair Manuals in pdf format.

David, it's not just repair manuals on that site; they have the New Car Features books, which are a wealth of technical info, they have the technician training programs, which teach the techs how to understand and troubleshoot the systems, they have the Electrical Wiring Diagram books, etc.

It ain't cheap, but if you want/need to know something about a Toyota/Lexus system, I think it's the best source there is, other than buying all their books.

That's Toyota and Lexus' online technical database.

It does not allow technicians to do custom ECU programming if that's what you're looking for. All we get are new ECU calibrations,there is no other software to change anything within those calibrations.

Oh well. Nice to wish hope dream.

These engines REALLY need a 7500rpm redline.

I think this reprogramming would be pretty dangerous if the owner doesnt know what to do. This could mess up the driveability of the car completely. For an average Joe wanting 10-20 hp increase are taking a chance. Tundraeddie works for a Toyota Dealer and he would have the first knowledge on oem stuffs.
