Launch Creader Elite Toyota Scanner Testing and Review

Today we are testing and reviewing a tool sent to us by Launch called the Creader Elite-T. It is a high functioning bidirectional scan tool specifically for Toyota, Lexus, and Scion vehicles. Don't have a Toyota? That's okay, they have versions of the tool for several different makes including: Honda, Nissan, Ford, GM, Chrysler, Volkswagen, and Mercedes Benz.

Thank you for your review. So far I have used this for changing out the break accumulator and actuator in a 2010 Prius and have programmed a new key. Saving thousands of dollars with this reader!

[dimdim]

Thank you very much from all of us diyers. I watched all the videos on the YT on this scanner but your video was the only one which answered all my questions. Thank you.

I just bought the creader Elite 2.0-T and it's a little bigger. Also for Toyota/Lexus. I'm a DIY and so far I'm impressed. Doesn't take much to impress me though but for $151.00 on Amazon it seemed like an acceptable deal

[jublywubly]

Thanks for making this great review video!
Do you know if this scan tool can check the health of hybrid batteries? I have a 2022 hybrid Corolla.
I know nothing's wrong with it, because it's just been checked, but it'd be nice to keep an eye on it all.

[TLTL]

Greetings. Would this scan tool be able to "Reset/Calibrate/Relearn" a Corolla CVT transmission?

[brianrowland]

Great in depth video that highlights for DIY guys like me a very useful scanner.
Mine hasn't arrived yet but is the v2.0 so could be a bit quicker
I am hoping to resolve an entry system issue with a 2013 Toyota Landcruiser 200 with smart keys not communicating with vehicle - even wit new batteries.
Will the Launch dig deeply enough to resolve Key communication issues?

[richards]

Thank you so much for the overview. I'm very interested in the key programming function.

As I haven't seen any in the web, would like to see a video on how to program toyota smart keys (smart proximity keys)

For me specifically, I would like to learn how this Creader can program the fob for a 2016 Sienna push button start (key gob is silver)

Would greatly appreciate it. Thank you again

[KGAFF]

Fantastic!!!

great video and introduction really convinced me to buy the toyota specific 2024 version amazon thank you!

Previously an audi a6 2.7T 2001 owner (4-years) now I will be a first time ever TOYOTA car owner (as if going oon vacation) and starting with Prius (V hopefully) and I just ordered the biger version wide screen toyota specific version of this tool having bi-directional activation of modules and live data monitoring and ecm coding and as it was covered imobilizer key programing among other regular trouble code and maint reminders reset...

Wife has Toyota and I own a Lexus…100% worth it for atf temp reading for changes, ability to add keys and break bleeding.

[JaneanA-wh]

Did you have to use a wifi password to register/update the tool before you used it?

[paulfisher]

Will it do battery registrations. I need to tell my highlander that it now has and agm battery

[HokeMercado]

is this capable of camshaft position sensor learning on a 2016 lexus nx200t?

[johnk]

Mentioned in the video that you can program tpms sensors but you can’t read the existing sensors? Or did I hear that wrong

[victorgomez]

Do you know if that scanner can program a key fob for a lexus ct200h? thank you

[fivestar]

Can you adjust ignition timing with this?

[toyotakurtis]

Thanks for the video. Do you know if this tool will work with fix C1210 Zero Point Calibration of Yaw Rate Sensor? Had an alignment issue and now my 2018 Tacoma says to see the dealership on my instrument panel. The traction control light is on and my Pre-collision system is not working.

[GlenSchilling-zk]

Can this tool test HV and 12V batteries in a Prius and other Toyota hybrids?

[melvinmonge]

Does anyone know if this thing work on 2006 Lexus LX470 ?
Specific the immobilizer key program.

[firegrunt]

I have this one now and trying to find the transmission fluid temp.
It shows coolant and engine temp, but not transmission fluid

[Swenser]

Can this program new master key. The pedals and door opening methods dont work for my camry.
