    Was looking at PC based diagnostic tools and found this one:

    EScan - Automotive Test Solutions

    They also offer the following:

    Not cheap at $1095 but there it is.

    I'd steer clear of EScan's "solution". The only PC-to-vehicle connection approved for use with Techstream Lite software is the DrewTech Mongoose USB cable, as you can see here:

    https://techinfo.toyota.com:443/tec...nfo/html/prelogin/docs/tslfaqtinfo.pdf#page=7

    The cable and communication software run $495. Less than half of the cost of the EScan setup.

    In both cases, you still have to buy the Techstream software.

    Could you record the generator/MG1 metrics and report them here?

    The reason I ask is Auto Enginuity is reporting some data values, MG1 in particular that make no sense. If you could, record:

    • ICE rpm
    • MG1/generator values - all that are avaliable
    Just a 10-20 minute drive recording the data values would be enough. It would be especially useful if you could record the data from an NHW11 Prius.

    Thanks,

    Explain please
    I understand this a software pkg. However if your looking quality factory OBD 2 diagonostic tester where do you go. I have seen prices for Denso Toyota Tester 2 for about $1700.

    The tactrix cable costs 170 bucks and a friend of mine works at a Toyota dealer where I obtained techstream v5 evaluation and it has all the functionality of the mongoose cable or the denso tester.

    the only issue is im figuring out how to export the CSV files, specifically the data mr wilson requested.
