Okay, this is for a modern Toyota Fortuner and before anyone decries such later conveyances, let it be said that no-one hates this thing more than I do.
So Madam went and bought herself one of these complete and utter sheds some time ago and it is still under warranty. However, we have been less than satisfied with the service or servicing provided by Toyota in the intervening period. Therefore the decision has been taken to bring maintenance in house and tell Toyota they can stick their warranty - which they probably wouldn't honour anyway - where the sun don't shine.
Everyday stuff is easy enough and getting bits isn't an issue but inevitably, some sort of scan tool will be needed. For my P38 I have the Nanocom from Black Box Solutions and it is a fantastic bit of kit allowing me to resolve all sorts of issues without recourse to garages. I am therefore looking for something similar for this pile of curse word.
Searching around the net has revealed virtually nothing of use except that Asian Toyotas may not support OBD protocols and may use something else. Anyone able to shed any light or point me in the right direction?
The alternative is to wait until the next typhoon, surreptitiously shove it into the street where, hopefully, the flood will carry it away to rest forever at the bottom of Manila Bay.
Thanks in advance.
