    So I’m a DIY guy and decided to change my brakes. Front and rear, new pads, disks, with shoes and drums too. I decided To change the hoses and had to bleed.

    After I find out that I did It wrong and had to use the Toyota software before. Will driving it for a few days screw anything else up?
