![]() ![]() I can't say for sure on the Vibe ECU, but Fabian taught me how to do the ECU recall on a 2006 Corolla yesterday.ĮDIT: Forgot to mention the car will run with the new ECU straight away, as far as I can tell. You would have to research and see if their ECU could be reflashed or not, however you have to remember that it's an odd duck because it is Toyota hardware with probably GM protocols for communicating to scan tools but possibly Toyota software for actually running the engine. I think the GM version of the Toyota ECU has totally different protocols. ![]() Once the VIN on a Toyota ECU is set, it CANNOT be changed, so a used ECU will throw a code on a car that doesn't match its VIN. A lot of overdrive features aren't effective when the vehicle is already in drive, the switch in the drive and over drive when passing a truck on the highway works better than some cars do in younger years such as 2008-2012.C2cummin wrote:Would that likely be all? There wouldn't be any performance issues or check engine light?Toyotas will throw a check engine light if you install a new ECU, which must have a VIN programmed into it using a Toyota dealership's special computer. I love the overdrive feature, it works as it does in many late model vehicles. ![]() I am also losing mine in a similar manner. My grandmother has completely lost her fenders around her front passenger tire and passenger door. The trim on the exterior body of the vehicle is popular for falling off. What I dislike about the vehicle is trim feature. There's tons of packing departments, stealth stashes, two forms of car chargers and low mechanical issues. ![]() The car is known for it's travel features. I purchased the vehicle from a used car dealer with minor issues, however to push the car's lifetime a little further, my father and I replaced the engine, shocks, and mounted a radio as well as some interior details. The thing I like about it most is the mileage I get out of my gas. My vehicle, a 2003 Pontiac Vibe was a car that I sought out after driving my grandmother's 2002 version. Overall though, I'm just being nitpicky because I absolutely love my car. Maybe because I purchased my Vibe used, it just didn't have it, but I don't want to have to buy a separate piece of equipment just to keep my things from rolling around in the back. I would also like a cargo net or something in the back. Also, the console is slightly small and there's not a lot of storage options, but that's not really a problem since I'm not the most organized person in a car anyway. The only thing I don't like is that there seems to be a little bit of a blind spot as the driver where my peripherals are blocked out at times because of the plastic bar near the window. The gas mileage is incredible as long as the tires are taken care of, if they're underinflated though, you lose a lot of that benefit, so be sure to keep them well cared for. It performs well on both the highway and in my small city. It is very responsive and has a lot of "get up and go" which is great for someone who is a defensive driver. The biggest one being that I haven't had any issues with it in five years! This was astounding to me, as there's always something going on with cars for me, but this one is perfect. ![]()
