Toyota Techstream Software Demonstration

- Toyota Techstream is the software used by dealerships for vehicle diagnostics and to personalize settings on your Toyota, Lexus or Scion vehicle.
The software connects to a car via a Mini VCI cable through the OBDII port. Cheap cables, available on eBay, emulate a serial port to which Techstream software communicates to your car's CAN bus.
The software allows you to access vehicle settings, such as door locks, transmitter, engine immobilizer programming, power window, interior illumination as well as security and headlights. It is also used to read specific ECU codes from the engine computer, ABS/TRAC/VSC, SRS Airbag and occupant detection systems.
Built in diagnostic tools allow you to perform tests on failing parts to determine what is at fault.
Additionally, having access to techstream allows you to program your own chipped keys and wireless remotes.
This tutorial quickly goes through the settings and monitors available in Techstream for a Lexus ES330. It will be similar for many other Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles that use the CAN bus made after ~ 2002.
Here are the installation instructions:
The cable was purchased from eBay.

Excellent presentation. Concise and clearly understandable. Thank you!
You are welcome
Awesome video, no bullshitting and straight to the point with good quality video.
Thanks, that's my style !
oh woww this is pretty awesome. love it. thanks my buddy, was missing your videos :)
Your welcome.
thanks, i would love to buy this for my Toyota, the price is definitely worth it & save you lots of money in the future. have a wonderful day :)
+speedkar99 Hello I have 2010 is250 can I reflash the ecu or the tcm ?? Thanks
You probably could if you had a subscription with techinfo, but I wouldn't trust this cable to reflash my ECU, you might want to get the higher end ones.
AWESOME AWESOME review. Thank you so much for this!
Thanks, glad you found it helpful.
Excellent overview, very helpful,, just got the software and cable, thanks for your efficient detail and clear explanations !!
Hello what type of computer is needed I order to use the techstream
Software?
@@ramiroperez3817 any laptop,windows 7 works best
@@sollykhan2385 do I have to subscribe to techstreem ?
@@abdullaalnuaimi8735 no, no need to subscribe, you just install the software, and enable the cable with the seed key supplied, then off you go to use the software, any problems, message me, as i have got the Tech stream software on my laptop, you just have to 'PLAY' with the computer whilst plugged into a car, to get better abled to carry out all the various jobs through the systems that are available, take care , BLESS 😇
@@sollykhan2385 thanks for helping me..I appreciate your help solly.. I already downloaded techstream V16.. I need to order the cable now to start :)
Just programmed my new key, and the VIN number on a module replacement. A+++
Excellent summary on Techstream! I'm constantly telling people to use it, but now I will refer them to your video instead. Thanks!
+junebug1701 Thanks, yes I too was looking for this info and didn't find any so I decided to post. There's alot of little gems in techstream that other scanners can't do.
OMG hats off man you are rock.
Thanks. This is not rock science.
Really nice overview, thanks.
You are welcome
Thanks for this video. I need this for my TPMS sensor programming. Customization would be nice too
Which version of techstream do you recommend to program the key transponder on a Toyota Land cruiser 2000 100 series?
Hi ... Just wanted to say great video...straight to the point and no messing about....I have a quick question..I have a Toyota Auris 2013 (MK2) - UK - will this work if so which cable do I need and software? and where can i get the software from? Will be super grateful if you can get back to me please, Thanks!
ABS air bleed... that's NICE. One less thing I have to pay a shop to do if/when that day comes. Thanks!
It only works if your car supports it. Although that option was listed on my Lexus ES330, I clicked on it and it said its not available.
That's a bummer. That'd be one of the best features if available because you can't normally bleed ABS without a machine.
Sweet video. Thanks for the upload
You are welcome
That’s how you make a informative video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks 👍
The only video that is helpful. Thanks you sir
Fantastic video - I just got my techstream connected this weekend. Do you happen to know which setting is for the 'walk-away' lock? My Tundra locks itself after 60 seconds, even if the key is inside the car! I think I found the timer setting (30/60/120 seconds), but not where to turn it completely off - THANKS!
+Bryan B I'm not sure, just poke around with the power lock menu, the description in the software is quite vague so it can mean different things.
Awesome information! I’ll be changing a few preferences on my IS350 and tracking down my ABS/VSC issue
This cable is Soo useful for diagnostics
What is the best place to source the software?
best video ever💯💯
Awesome, yes, you're just Awesome. Thank you so much!!!!
Is toyota hilux revo 2015 model they have option of automatic side mirror fold when the car is off??
Thanks for the great video! can you post a link to the mini vci cable? I've found a few on ebay, but I'm not sure which one is good. Thank you!
I bought this so long ago that I don't have the link anymore. There's probably a newer version of the cable but mine still works (because my cars are all older than the cable lol)
awesome! I'll us this in the future
Danté Smith Thanks, its a useful tool to have definitely.
GREAT!!... AMAZING!! THANKS A LOT!!
+Alfonso Foster Thanks
Is the software free to come with the cable or sold separately?
Would additional thing I need to program fob I bought from Ebay?
Thank you great Video . Where can I get the TechStream software or does it come with the cable?
+Freddy D it comes with the cable but there's dark areas of the internet where it can be downloaded ....
Hi man, can I code injectors with this tool? I've been looking for obd tools and the proffesional ones costs too much, and the lower ends cannot do it. Looking for your reply! Thanks.
question for you, have you ever clicked on the intrsument tab? I bought an american dash for my car with mph and klmh but the kms are 3x more than my original. Is it possible to program it to the correct valid value? or can you read the oem miles off the computer to show that my milage is less than shown? Cheers
Check out my speedkar100 channel I have odometer reprogramming videos there
Would I have to use Techstream or Techstream Lite for key program on a 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid?
Techstream
can we get details information as techstream does if we use scan tools that available in the market e.g snap on, launch. . .etc??
Hello what kind of computer is compatible in order to use the tech stream program?
Where did you buy the tech stream program?
Hi exellent video, i'm in a crossroad between mini vci or OTC scanner, wich will you recommend?
I'm from Argentina and the diference of price is huge
The car is a pickup Toyota Hilux 3.0
Yea thanks for that. I'm interested in looking into the tuning of my steering wheel. I want it to have less play, heavier feel, and more direct turning on my 2015 toyota highlander. Do you think techstream can help me out with that?
Have you been able to find out if Techstream can adjust your settings for the steering wheel? For my lx470, I only found the position (tilt / in&out) be able to set. I see a lot of different settings that deal with calibration and flashing the different ecu’s, and the last thing I want to do is brick an ecu.
That's pretty cool. Do it's just the wire you purchased ? No cd or anything? Also could you check for anything customizable for 2000 lexus es300. Or is it just for car you put the obd2 into.
lexusfan100 I purchased the wire. It comes with a CD, but the software is available for download in the links in the description. I tried it on a 1999 Lexus ES300 yesterday, and there were no customizable options, but you can still monitor readouts and read DTC's.
The customization of locks, windows and security works with newer model Toyotas that have the CAN bus, after 2002-03 model year.
Old but good. Do you remember what firmware the cable is running? Alot of conflicting info out there and all the j2534 cables show 1.x firmware but other folks say 2.04 is needed.
Nice Insight @speedkar you are totally awesome 💯
Thanks a ton
Good work
i came from your other video looking for something to help me with techstream and your video was very helpful thanx again
+amdbaz glad it helped
A quick question, Does Toyota techstream supports all these features for every toyota ECU? TIA
Hi, can this be used to recalibrate/reset steering torque sensor ?
Thank you. This was a very informative video. I think I'll buy one soon for my wife's Toyota. Any chance Honda has a similar product?
Honda HDS but it's much more expensive
Can you link what one on ebay you got? Also is techstream free where did you download it? Does it work in a Toyota from 2018? I want to save all my stuff so if I have any issues coding is saved and take off seatbelt warning because it's superloud and annoying. I didn't save every thing on my last car and when I had some issues with electrical no one could fix it but dealership.
Here's a question for us "high performance" guys. My 2008 Toyota Tundra equipped with a TRD Supercharger and custom tuned. I'm currently adding Longtube headers and my tune had my air/fuel set to 11.5 to 1 under wide open throttle at max RPMs, with new headers my truck "should" run lean, maybe 13-14 to 1 which is a problem that may cause catastrophic engine failure. I only want an accurate reading of my air/fuel ratio on both bank 1 and 2, I seriously doubt this system will allow me to adjust my air/fuel ratio but if it will read it, I'll know if it is lean and needing a fresh tune. Does this have that ability, to read in real time the air/fuel ratio AND does it also allow data logging, basically keeping it all plugged up and driving while it's saving vital data to show what the engine is doing? If so it's a godsend! I ordered it already and have not yet tried it, it came with the cable and a disc/CD "hopefully to download the program/software to my laptop" and I'm also told this will work on Toyota/Lexus/Scion vehicles and is almost identical to what the dealerships use? My main concern is getting an accurate air/fuel ratio once my headers are finished. Do you have any insight into this and if it will work to perform that function?? Thanks! Great vid!
ur always awesome bro..
+Firdhous Cools thanks
Is it possible to create activation code for updating navigations?
Can you rewrite the VIN number on a used ECU to match the car?
Does it work with Daihatsu Sirion II? It has Toyota Yaris engine
Man as usual, big fan here. Love ur vids and I'm always following up on ur posts since there is so much that u do to UR cars. Now it just so happens I got the engine light come on last week n im sure it might be a sensor since is not the gas cap like most ppl say. U think this could help determine what might be at fault? The car is a 2001 Camry Xle V6. Not going for customization much but for pin pointing what is at fault to replace if possible. Thank u so much for the vid btw
I'm glad you found this video useful! A techstream cable would be a good tool to diagnose your check engine light especially if it's emissions or fuel related, as you can monitor various voltages and sensors live to pin point the issue. Its cheaper than an obd2 reader and gives you so much more information.
+speedkar99 thank you for the response n yes I got the cable waiting for it in the mail
Thank you for your share your knowledge god bless
Your welcome
At Toyota dealership they were asking $230 per tpms sensor, I was like there’s gonna be a different way…
Yeah Walmart
Can you program to remotely start the enging? I’ve got a fortuner crusade 2018.
Get a bus pass before asking dumb questions like that.
What about other functions like throttle relearn or zero point calibration?
I'm having issues with the rear power lift gate not opening/closing on my Lexus NX. Would the computer be able to detect which power lift strut is failing? They are extremely expensive to R&R.
Great video, any idea how to clear the VSC light on the dash after using techstream?
find the OBD socket and locate pins 4 and 14 (find a diagram on line) use a paper clip to short those two out, turn on the ignition (don't start the engine) wait 30 seconds the ABS and VSC lights will flash, take out the paper clip and turn off ignition, start the engine and the VSC will be gone.
What version is your techstream? I tried to check the hybrid battery level but keeps crashing.
8 I think
Hi...this the best 'tutorial' on Techstream that I've seen (and I've seen a bunch). I am hoping that this gets to you even though I know this video is a few years old. I've recently purchased the cable and software and begun using it. However, it seems the functionality is limited. I can 'see' all the ECU's in the list, but many of the ones I want to interact with have the * stating that "ECU not supported or not responding"...but its doing it for the TPMS, immobilizer, SRS, which I know the truck is equipped with. Any idea WHY???? or how to get around this? I really want to program a key using the software (I was able to program a remote), but the key is under immobilizer and that is one of the ECU's that has the *. your help is really appreciated! thanks!!
I never got that. But it seems with any vehicle newer than the software I don't have full access to. For example I can't program tpms on my 2011 Sienna. Or access certain ECU on my brother's 2012 IS350
Is it possible to change menu language on the screen between the gauges by using this soft? If yes - where is the option?
Nice tesher
i trying to readapt a 2003 mr2 SMT, i have replaced the clutch and need to readapt the kiss points, gearbox works fine, but the clutch is too fierce at the moment. i have a recent copy of tech stream and have found my way to a page within that appears to allow the data to be altered, it states a range, but i don't have a data source. is there a procedure that will guide me through a full re-adaption,or is there a data source that i could assess to get the clearance data?
Did the software come with cable. I have a 2008 corolla I need to get my key fob going since my car wont go into programming mode.
Mine did but it was corrupted and I found it online somewhere
Thank you...very much
+George LaBarca Your welcome
Will this be usable on Toyota Avensis 2008 SDN Prestige? Thank you.
Thanks for the great video, does this cable work with 99 Lexus ES300?
Yes but not all the features will be available. Toyota only started using full CAN bus after 2002 Camry/ES
Speedkar... I just bought a key fob with chip in it for 2003 LEXUS ES300 from a junked vehicle @ local pick & pull salvage yard... can I use this system to program that key to my current 2003 ES300?
Also, Will the key stem work for me or do I need to have one cut for me (it looks almost identical)
+FABIAN RADWAY yes this works to program
To cut it you'll need a new blade from eBay and cut at the dealer or locksmith
How can I buy exactly the same techstream software that you demonstrated in this vedio. In eBay and Ali express there are many which one is good. Or can you supply me the software pls
Many Thanks.
Do you know if this can calibrate the SRS passenger side system? I have an airbag light on.
Toyota RAV4 2015 all remote botton/functions on original remote head keys and a new key I have just added are not working. The old remote stopped working in the past base on the customer.
I used Techstream to add a new key with no issue but unable to erase or register remotes.
Kind of lost, any tips - bad fuse or something?
To get the buttons one the key fob to work they need to be programmed with Techstream.
1 programming the remote keyless door lock functions so from the "System Selection Menu" choose "Main Body"
2 then "Utility" and "Wireless Code Registration."
3 At this point the "Wireless Code Registration Wizard" popped up:
4 follow the prompts, and the programming was complete. At this point you could click "Next" for another key or "Exit" if finished. Takes all of 2 minutes.
5 You can then prigram the immobiliser chip so the key would actually start the engine. From the "System Selection Menu" I chose "Immobiliser" if you haven't already.
Hi, which version should I buy for 2005 lx470 to find out ahc system problem?
Would this work on a Pontiac vibe 2009 it's a Toyota matrix under the hood
+sean eby it might
How do I check if the Altezza is compatible?
And it will work with the 2005 is200?
+rstezza Techstream is compatible with all Toyotas. It needs to have canbus communication to customize settings, which generally most Toyota/Lexus models had since the early 2000s.
great video what camera did u film with? cheers sandy
+sandy anderson Thanks. Canon T5i with an 18-135 STM lens.
Can I adjust my odometer with this software? Bought a new cluster and I wanna add miles to properly reflect the current mileage. Thanks.
Please check my speedkar100 channel for odometer reprogramming videos
What software version on your video?
Currently we’re on V15.
Hi, thx so much.. do you have the link to the one you bought on ebay? Do have install instructions? thx again
I don't have the link
Description has a link to instructions I followed
Can it add new chip keys and smart keys for many popular car models?
Is it possible to turn the alarm system on on a 2001 Toyota RAV4 using TechStream? And which features won‘t be available compared to the car in your video?
+TheTransporter1461 that won't have any features. It's too old and economy class, it was more the luxury cars that had customization at that time period
speedkar99 Okay, thank you!
Hola amigo disculpa que versión de Techstream estas usando.....
Will this method work for Toyota Avensis 2008 SDN Prestige? Thank you.
Thank you so much for you awesome video!
Any idea where I can download the Tech Stream online?
I don’t have CD player to install it on my computer.
Would it work on Lexus CT200 H 2012?
It should work just make sure you find a later version of the software
you can latest version of Toyota Techstream just Skype: ultratechdiagnostics
nice. i wonder how you have come across this? also what is being used to communicate to honda and bmws, audis and mercs? that should be interesting. if you know kindly share. if you think about it, a lot of mechanics in us uses snap on and matco scanners. but abroad people use laptops and pc to connect to the car.
i have been wondering on how to connect using a laptop for so long. live datastream would be a piece of cake now
thnx again
nhz013 Glad you found it useful. A laptop with live monitoring would be great to monitor fuel trims and such. I am not familiar with other vehicle brands but I can only assume they have a proprietary software too. Having the techstream cable makes OBD readers redundant because you can read so much more information.
Very informative video! I have a 2004 Lexus SC430. What do I need and how much would it be for the full setup?
Same as here. Check Amazon
speedkar99 oh ok thank you. I am guessing the version does not matter since it is an older model sc430. Does Techstream also support its hardtop convertible features? Because mine is not working and I would rather diagnose it myself than go to the dealer.
Hi friends dose this software find out which hybrid battery pack need to replace ? Or any other software can , really appreciate.
Dr Prius
With Toyota Techstream, are you able to calibrate your speedometer? I have larger tires, so I want to calibrate for that.
I've done the speedometer test mode but I don't recall there being a calibration
Is there a way to turn TPMS functionality ON. CanadiaRAV Prime has no TPMS and I would be surprized if they removed the code vice just turning the feature off. Would I be able to use this tool to turn TPMS on for example??? IF not would the technicians at the dealership with full TIS access software potentially be able to do so??
Seems like both my Lexus is250 and jzx110 don't have customise options, should I install an older techstream? Did you have to do anything to get customise options? Thanks
Old cars don't customize
love you bro
Thanks I love me too
Will this work on a newer 2016 / 17 4Runner? if not what will I need? I would like to change some option settings
+George LaBarca Yes it should.
When I tried to purchase TIS subscription, it additionally required me to have a business insurance of $500k.
Can you share what page did you use for subscription? May be I’m not on the right product
Are you able to enable transmission relearn with this version of techstream?
Not directly, but you can clear all DTCs
@speedkar99 Great demo! Thank you. Could you please demo the BSM sensors diagnostic and (if possible) calibration capabilities of Techstream SW? Those sensors are problematic pieces of s**t and expensive to replace or calibrate at the dealership.
+Samer Sarhan I dont have a vehicle with BSM to test it out on.
DRL disable is pretty cool
+Sam Sonn Yea! Check it out
Thank you
You welcome
Does it have a function that can enable automatic door lock on a 2006 Highlander?
+Robert Reyes Yes
I have a Prius 2007 EU. I brought this cable cause some people said that the alarm was disabled and i could enable it. When i choose security there are no options showed... same as windows,lights etc.. only AC and interior lights have a few options..... that means that my car has not an alarm installed or am I missing some settings configurations in order to enable/see those options?
If it doesn't show up then you don't have that option.
I have a video of me enabling the alarm on an 06 Sienna
I've also successfully done it on an 09 sienna
But the security menu doesn't show up on my 04 Camry 😔
What options will the techstream software provide for a 99 gs400. I'm pretty sure it does not have can bus so what will I be able to do with the program? Just view CEL's? Can I delete them? Anything else?
+D Lee The GS should have most of the functionality demonstrated here, at least it appeared so on my brother's 2000 GS300. There was a software issue connecting to his car preventing the software from reliably saving the settings, but that could be an isolated thing.
yeah this is nice
very good my brother, Can do pilot injection programming for toyota hilux engine 2GD year 2017?
What's pilot injection?
