Ok... So I posted here a couple of months about about three sensors on my truck being stuck in not ready status. (1996 Toyota Tacoma X-Cab, manual) I've been patient hoping that it's just a drive cycle issue. Well I've gone over 2,000 miles and still no go. They are still "Not ready". I broke down and took it to a mechanic. They said that all of the sensors are testing fine and that it must be a problem with the ECM. He mentioned that the dealership might possibly be able to "re-flash" the computer. Otherwise I would need a new ECM. So I called the dealership and they said that they don't know of any flash update for my vehicle and to bring it in so they can look it up by VIN and see whats going on. They said that if they could flash it that it would cost about $125.00. Well I've looked around and I think I can find a used and tested ECM for about the same price. The problem is that I don't want to order one and find out that it doesn't work because it doesn't match my trucks features exactly.
What would you guys do? Any suggestions? HELP!
Thanks, Dante
