Ok so I have the annoying throttle issue with the 07 g35hr and I'm lookin to have that ecu updated under the tsb itb08-017. I called to make an appointment and was told it would be 149.99 to have it looked at. I was under the impression this is a free service. Am I correct and the dealership is just being shady as usual?

 

TSB costs money, it's basically just a set of instructions directing the dealership on how to fix various problems that arise that are NOT covered under explicit direction of the FSM.

Recalls are free.

Dealerships have a minimum 1 hour service charge for basically any service, even though they're just going to plug in the Consult tool and let it sit for about 5 minutes then check operation of your vehicle and have the thing for MAYBE 30 minutes.

 

Ahhh I see. Welp I guess I'll be paying them lol

 

Welp guess I'll be paying lol

 

Yep, if it's not a warranty or recall issue you are going to pay by the hour. Infiniti here charges $120 / HR for reprogramming. Make sure they check your transmission TCU for updates also.

 

Yup I'm on the fence though, it's not too bad and I usually don't feel it often. Money would be better used for fun car parts ☺

 

I for one would be >very< interested in what you, and they do, if you go in....

 

If you were local I would update the ECU for you. I can't do TCU's yet since I don't have a J2534...

 

That would be awesome lol

 

What are you doin next week!? since i am off, and drive for a living, that would be a nice little jaunt......

 

In all these years I have never seen a TSB referring to any transmission TCU updates on the 07-08s. Closest was a TSB for removing the temperature sensor on the transfer case for the AWD system but that is obviously not the AT.

Do you have any specific TSB numbers?

 

I haven't seen a TSB either, that's why I said to ask the dealership when it's in there to see if an update for the TCU is available. I'll have to check if a newer version is available on the site. I'm just starting to log TCU software version #'s with my new programming tablet. The only problem is I haven't had access to many 07' - 08' cars.

Triton3.5 - If you are going to be in for a day or two I could probably do it. I would need the ECU for the day so I could do it in spare time at work.
