Turn on the ignition key, start EFI SCAN software and read faults (it is depending on kind of Toyota is OBD-I or MOBD/OBD-II) 4. Compare fault-results and repair suggestion displayed on the screen with faults you made on purpose before. (Perhaps EFI SCAN reads more faults than you made. This is very common. Maybe they are faults which weren’t cleared in previous diagnosis and stored in ECU) 5. Re-plug to the connector, unplug the Battery wire (or ECU fuse) about 30 minutes and re-plug it or clear faults from EFISCAN with MOBD and OBD-II standard. 6.
