    Default ECU Diagnostic code 5

    Hey everyone!

    I have recently fitted a switch for diagnostic mode to make it easier to check any problems when I start the car. A n a l I know...

    Anywho, it has thrown up an odd code, 5 blinks, a 4.5second break then another 5 blinks. I can only work it out to be 5 because the 4.5second space indicates the end of the code before it repeats it.

    There is no code 5!

    Anyone have an idea? I am going to reset it tomorrow morning and see if it disappears. I also find it odd that the Toyota manual skips 5; 4 straight to 6.

    From memory that is usually O2 sensor, but I could be wrong.

    EDIT: Looks like i might be right

    I know from my old ecus there was a difference in the codes thrown for the same error. Some ecu's throw single digit codes and others throw 2 digit codes, why? i dunno but it happened.

    But if i had to guess id say Jap ecu's throw double digit codes and aus ecu's throw single and i couldn't tell you why.
