Yes and no depending on year. You can plug in a laptop via the ODB2 port and read ALL the diagnostic codes, again, many more than the low number of ODB2 codes which is very primitive and rarely point the way forward to a fix. Depending on if the ECU was hacked, we can change which codes get flagged as ODB2 codes, good for engine swaps in Commiefornia.
Thanks TechStream looks like what I would be looking for if I ever get back to fixing my own stuff. I just came off a 3 year sports car build with engine swap and fully adjustable suspension with camber, caster, roll center, height etc, so I bought a 4 runner as a drive and forget about problems car.
DashCommand looks to be ODB2, which besides being terribly slow (not that I care with my SlowRunner, but for my peformance car ODB2 is MUCH too slow for track duty and tuning) also gives no added help for troubleshooting.
