- Using this Launch scan tool you have the power to do anything to customize your Toyota or Lexus vehicle.
I was not paid to make this video, but the company sent me the product for free to review.
Here's a link to the Launch scan tool:

Can this activate the remote start function on the smart key of a 2018.
I work for Toyota and it's very very annoying to check out tech stream from the parts room, this tool is super handy if u have a newer Toyota with a epb and want to change rear pads this tool puts the car in maintenance mode this is a life saver
I can imagine it takes 15 minutes to do a 1 minute job.
even newer ones have a seqence to do rear brake pads maintenance so you don't need any sort of tool. I don't thing this tool is comparable to tech stream - only a subset of options is shown
That’s well worth the price to kill that annoying seat belt buzzer! Great find
It is!
You can kill it through the odometer button without a scanner.
@@Troy_Builtthanks man!
Aurel AP200 programs keys as well and its only like $60 .@@ToolDemos
@@Troy_Built Surely that was in jest? If not, could you tell us how long you pressed the button and what else you did at the same time? Scratched your nose etc.?
Great video Steve, thank you for the info. The tip about the keys makes it worth it
Thanks Tony. Hope you’re feeling better.
What's the difference between the 2023 and 2024 model beside the $70 price?
Are these available for Ford ranger?
Here’s the Ford version: amzn.to/3uxI3B2
I just programmed a couple of oem H chip keys I got off ebay with this Launch Creader ODB2 tool. For a 2014 Corolla. So easy! The hardest part was getting keys cut as I had to check and go back and forth before the key cutter finally cut the keys down enough. Going to a locksmith might be quicker than the convenience store 😂
Ace Hardware will cut keys for $20
Can you turn off that annoying low tire pressure light? I have a 2007 Lexus and I'm not replacing a $185 a piece tire pressure monitors .
Not an option that I’ve seen on this tool, but I’ve got an idea in the works. Look for a video on that in a few weeks.
Haha at first I thought you were just tryna ride around with flat tires 😂😂 I was like just inflate your tires 😂
Can you monitor transmission fluid temp?
Quick answer: ruclips.net/user/shortsqPxuedB0mXg?si=d7bFHprt1KFKhjBn
Purchased this tool and I was told that it had the ability to check the TPMS sensors and to register the battery in the future when it is needed. Well, it does do those features and more. BUT, you are required to purchase those functions and they only last a year. Still going to keep it though.
Good to know, thanks.
One of my favorites is the transmission fluid's thermal degradation value! Toyota engineers have given us a way to check how much life is left in our Toyota transmission fluid. The range goes from 0-65,535 and 0 is new fluid and 65,535 means your transmission fluid is worn out and needs changed. My Camry has 10k miles and my thermal degradation value is just under 800.
Nice! I’m gonna check that on mine.
@ToolDemos yeah, it's an extremely helpful feature. I've read comments from guys who tow with their Toyota trucks. Their degradation value was at max levels, so evidently, the measurement must be kind of accurate.
Wow that’s amazing engineers are like magicians man truly amazing!
Thank you for the review! Do you happen to know if you can program a key fob for a pushbutton start Toyota?
No, sorry. If I get my hands on one, I’ll test it.
I have a Sequoia with only one key, no fob. Can I use this to register another key and fob to work with m6 original key?
You can register your key with this tool so that it will work in the ignition. As far as keyless entry goes, there is a procedure you can do without a scan tool. Just search RUclips, there are probably a dozen videos on how to do it.
Hello, Thanks for your video and appreciate it. Live transmission fluid temperature also can read with this scanner?
Yes, absolutely.
Thanks for your reply and appreciate it.
Does this work with Lexus?
Yes, both Toyota and Lexus.
Great informative video and looks like a gem of a service tool. I am trying to track down an Entry System fault on a 2013 Landcruiser.. The key FOB has stopped communicating with the ES module for some bizarre reason. My basic topdown scanner tool indicates an issue with the ES module and/or communication with the ECU... Will this Launch tool have the functionality to delve deeper into this issue? I also want to purchase this tool to get rid of annoying bells and whistles (seatbelt warning).
Or do I need to purchase a more advanced unit? My fear is that if I have to replace the entry system module it will need to be recoded to the vehicle and keys ........????
The tool has a communication check/smart key diag and smart key reset and registration. It should get the job done for you.
Have you done any more of these vids dealing with this Toyota scan tool? Just curious if you've found out any other tips or tricks.
Not yet, but I’ll be using it in videos for a while.
Hi ! thanks for the great vid, have you noticed among the functions if there is an option to change units in the car, for example fahrenheit to celcious or other way round ?
That should be in your infotainment system already. Units of measure
Does it do the abs brake bleeding?
Yes it does.
Can I change how my tundras remote start is activated and how long it will stay on?
Also would I be able to program heated seats or ac seats and HVAC temps when the remote start is imitated based on avienta temperature?
What is the different between elite for Toyota and for Toyota model. Which one I should buy for my 2020 Tundra, 2017 Highlander and 2024 rav4?.
They told me the newer one (landscape aspect ratio) has newer internal hardware and a battery. It might be a bit faster and you should be able to run it without being connected to the car.
Can it work on Toyota diesel version
Hi there,
Thanks to the video. Does the tool also do the EPB ( electric parking brake)? Able to put the brake in Service mode and any calibration features? Thanks
Yes it does, thanks.
I have same one, The bidirectional features works nice!
Does yours show the same updates after you update it
No, they go away when it’s done.
This is exactly the video I was looking for to customize some of the settings on my 2025 Lexus NX350h. Thanks for posting.
Glad to hear it!
Hello! Thank you for your information! What do you recommend for TOYOTA/LEXUS: TOPDON Proscan or this LAUNCH? Thanks!
This one for sure, lifetime updates make it worth it.
@@ToolDemos Thank you, sir! Have a good day!
Does it allow you to adjust tire size for Speedo/odometer?
No, that’s not in this tool.
Will this pull AHC pressures on a Land Cruiser/LX?
That’s a tough question. I could be wrong, but I thought the pressure sensor was just a switch on those.
I purchased the launch x431 elite having problems getting to screen where I can see transmission temp
It’s under the engine menu.
I found it thank you for the help much appreciated
would it work on the raize?
Steve, great device but, does this obd2 scanner work for a 2017 toyota camry le key programmer? I am having trouble in deleting my key fog. Thank you, Larry
Hi Larry, I wish I could answer for sure, but they don’t have a list of specific cars. Only way I could know is try it in a Camry.
Does it show transmission fluid temperature?

Thanks for the tip about turning off the seat belt warning buzzer. There is one other ECU code I'd like to turn OFF.
How about Navigation/Map information (GPS)? Can I turn that OFF too? I don't want the map screen turning on at any time. Can this Launch tool do that?
There is a nav system customize option, but I don’t know what it does.
Is there DRL function on/off on this one?
Will this tool work on my 2023 Tacoma Sport 4X4 V6? The dealer wants $75 to customize all windows down when you hold the unlock button down!!!
I just looked at the menu. It gives a listing for 2019 and up, but not sure if that includes 2023.
Another terrific video! Which scan tool do you prefer more the Launch or TopDon dongle? Thank you for the information.
Thanks. I prefer the Topdon for most things because I like the bigger screen and faster tablet. My favorite things about this launch tool are the coding ability and the fact that the updates are free for life.
Will this tool work for 4runner 2020 and it have zero point calibration function too? Some people say for any function it must need 100% internet dependency.. is this correct.. can u guide
Will this allow me to do one button unlocking feature on an 06 Sienna?
I tried to find out for ya, but no info. The only way I was able to see what functions it has is to try it on each car.
Thank you for the video, I am having issues with my alcohol density monitoring system. Been back to dealer and had the tsb on my 14’ tundra done where it says to replace fuel pump, however it’s been few years and it’s climbing back up again, would this tool let you reset the alcohol density value?
Will it work to turn off or deprogram the “limp mode “ function on a 2010 Tundra with 4.6 V8? Very annoying to lose power when you lose traction or have secondary air pump issues. Great videos BTW!
No, this tool won’t do that. The only way I know of to get it out of limp mode is either A: repair the issue or B: run the engine with a different ECU.
Just hit the traction button once to engage the lsd(limited slip dif). This will essentially calm down the loss of power due to tire spin. For air flow it's either a dirty mass air flow sensor or a going out one. I have a 07 tundra 5.7 and always drive with lsd on or traction completely control off(hold down traction control button for 5ish second to turn off)
Love the scan tool! Thank you for the video. Wonder how effective it is for vehicles newer than 2020??
It connects to wifi, they do live updates all the time. Haven’t tried newer than 2020, but it should work fine.
Can I use this scan tool for checking atf temp for fluid level?
Cause I wanna change my atf on the tundra
Yup ruclips.net/user/shortsqPxuedB0mXg?si=nfij0SWA2AAfc-52
Thank you for making these video! I’m a big fan! I have the exact same 2018 Tundra and same color! I bought this tool after watching this. I am following your DIY video to spill and fill my transmission fluid. I cannot find anywhere to get a reading for transmissions fluid temp. I get oil, coolant etc but nothing on trans fluid temp. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance!
Sorry! I just saw another videos you posted for another viewer! I didn’t realize A/T oil 1 and 2 is the transmission fluid temperature! Awesome 🙌
@SpencerSoffeCRNA you can also read your Toyota's automatic transmission fluid's thermal degradation value. Toyota engineers gave us a way of seeing how much life is left in our transmission fluid. The scale goes from 0-65,535, 0 would be brand new transmission fluid and 65,535 would mean your transmission fluid is worn out. I have 10k miles on my Toyota and my atf thermal degradation value is right around 800.
Great review. Looks like a promising tool for Toyota owners. I looked on Amazon at the long list of Toyota models this Launch is compatible with, but I didn't see Tacoma listed. I would assume that's an oversight, but I want to make sure it will work with my 2016 Tacoma before I order one. So, will it work with the Tacoma?
It almost certainly will, but here’s their email to make sure ediagtools@hotmail.com
Thanks Steve for the awesome video. I was curious can you use this to set up a new key for 2016 Lexus RX 350 by chance?
I wish I could say for sure, but without trying it I don’t know.
Would this work with a 2016 5th Gen 4Runner Key Fob. I have 3 new Key Fobs already cut, but the dealership wont program them because I did not buy them from Toyota and they want $395 per key with programming if I go through them. That's just ridiculous.
Wow! That’s a ton of money. Unfortunately, there’s no list of applications I can reference, but every car I’ve tried it on, it could access the immobilizer.
Does this tool measure Transmission temp? ❤
Yes it does
Will it display the transmission temperature on the Tundra? That would make it even better.
Wish they'd put a dipstick on the Tundra's transmission..... I digress.
Tempted to get it just to turn off the seatbelt buzzers. The dog sitting up front without the seat belt clicked in would be nice.
Great video as usual.
Thanks! ruclips.net/user/shortsqPxuedB0mXg?si=iKkH6Ypy8pZixbS6
I’m getting one! Thank you so much. Black Friday deal to boot.
For the transmission fluid temperature reading ability it is a must have for Toyota owners, but do you know if temperature being displayed is "live stream" data, or just a snapshot?
If anyone knows for certain, please let us know.
Thanks.
Hi Steve,
Nice video. All reset services are pre-activated and lifetime free?
Thanks
Yes, they are yours to keep. They also said you get updates free.
Nice 👍
Thank you, cheers!
Will this perform ZERO POINT CALIBRATION? If so that’s impressive
I just had a look at my Tundra (2018). The tool does have the ability to reset the skid control ECU, that measures yaw and GForce. This truck doesn’t have crawl control so I wasn’t able to see anything about zero point. Hope this helps.
@@ToolDemos In theory that should zero calibrate it. I know Launch has a step by step for this, just was unsure if this inexpensive tool could accomplish this. Thanks for the feedback!!
Check out this circuit tracer. It finds the short/ground/ bad connection and break in the circuit!!! IT'S Not just a circuit tracer!
I just ordered one, used the $40 off coupon to get the price down to $139 before taxes. I have a 2020 Tundra and my wife has a 2020 Corolla. I know my wife’s Corolla has the highly annoying seat belt buzzer that does NOT shut off after so many seconds like my Tundra will do so I’m hoping this tool will turn that blasted thing off. Another feature on her car that I hate is the automatic locking doors. Nothing more aggravating than my wife asking me to grab groceries out the car, but by the time I get out to the carport, the dang car has automatically locked all the doors so I have to go back into the house to retrieve her keys!!! 😡 If I can adjust the timer or turn that feature off, it will be worth the cost.
That sounds like something configurable. Let us know what you find.
Don't for get it only work with wifi
Waiting for someone to hack this and provide all brands updated for life. 😅
That would rock!
Looks like a good alternative to Techstream.
Yeah, not bad. It seems to have most of the functionality.
