Uhhhhh OBD2 is a standard communication interface. If you’re looking for basic vehicle stats and engine code reading, any OBD2 scanner will work fine.

 

Would I able to use the OBD Scanner to reset the ECU as well?

How about this product?

Thanks again.

 

What exactly do you mean by “reset ECU”? Like resetting codes, or something like changing fuel mapping?

 

For example, do I need to reset the ECU after a battery change?

Pardon me for my silly questions...Just trying to learn

 

Oh no. You should be fine. In the repair manual it says to re-calibrate the steering sensor zero point, but you need the tech stream device and software for it.

I would still recommend getting an OBD2 scanner, just something simple and cheap like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QLTYKDW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DQDJEbB1FG6Y2

That’ll read and erase any code the ECU puts out.

 

Hmm, great and thank you for the device recommendation.

I have printed out a portion of the Corolla service manual from the Toyota TIS and they often make referral to their Techstream software...I suppose it's a web based software that needs active subscription?

 

Actually, no. You need a subscription to keep it up to date of course, but you can download the local copy as long as you have a TIS subscription. Then, you just need an adapter that is compatible with the software.

 

This is what I use. Torque pro is 5$ for the app.
