Note:

To proceed with online vehicle programming, it is recommended to have the Genuine Complete Pass-Thru Kit for All Cars. Please click the link to purchase if you haven’t already.

JRC OBD Tools supports Toyota/Lexus module programming for both *new (virgin) and used (second-hand) replacements, including *ECU, IMMO (Immobilizer), Smart Key (G-Box), ABS, Airbag, and more.

1. Programming a New (Virgin) Module

• Tools Required:
  • Techstream (Official Toyota Software) + J2534 Pass-Thru (Mongoose Toyota, Tactrix, or compatible)
  • JRC OBD Tools (with Toyota/Lexus support)
  • OBD-II Cable (Mini VCI for older Toyotas, or J2534 for newer models)
• Process:
  • Connect via Techstream or JRC software to program the new module.
  • New ECUs require VIN writing, immobilizer registration, and initialization.

2. Programming a Used Module

• Tools Required:
  • Techstream + J2534 (for diagnostics & programming)
  • EEPROM Tools (e.g., XProg, PAD3, or AutoHex II for used ECU virginization)
  • Key Programming Tools (e.g., Tango, MVP Pro, or Toyota/Lexus-specific tools)
• Process:
  • Used ECUs must be virginized (reset ISN/Immobilizer data) before installation.
  • Smart Key (G-Box) modules require matching to the vehicle’s immobilizer system.
  • ABS/Airbag modules may need zero-point calibration after replacement.

Key Notes:

• *Smart Key Systems (Push-to-Start): Require *G-Box matching and immobilizer sync.
• Older Toyotas (Pre-2010): Can often be programmed via **Techstream (offline mode).
• *Newer Models (2015+): May require *online Toyota TIS connection for security access.
