Looking for a new ECM for a 1996 2.7 4x4

I have been looking for almost a year now and no one has them. I tried some online stores that say they can reprogram the one you have or just some that will say they have them in stock but none ever do. I love this truck, it was my dads truck and I have been driving it since I was 15. its been used hard but nothing else is wrong with it. 315,000 miles and wish it was still going. the part number is 89661-04190. any help finding one would be awesome. im wating to give it to my son who turns 16 in 2 years. thank you guys.

I have no experience with this company. I was looking for ECM connectors and this site popped up.

 

Thank you I will give them a call tomorrow when they open.

 

There are a few companies that rebuild them I would have to look what company I used to be positive I had several done.

Just what is the problem yours needs replaced ?

Water damage and Voltage spikes and physical damage are about the main case for failure

Good Luck!!

 

Any update?

 

no i got really busy with my kids yesterday and never called. i plan on calling them tomorrow when they open.

 

It just died while I was driving down the road. I tried to plug my obd reader into it and it wouldn't even connect to the truck

 

Have you checked the fuses and the ground??

If battery voltage drops to low it will shutdown and go in hibernation to protect it`s self.

Looks like the '97's work also.....

 

Kinda risky just plugging in a new pcm without diagnosing what happened.

 

yeah that was the first thing I checked when I got it home. that and the relays. they are all good still. as far as the ground goes I am not that good with electrical but from what i could see all the wires where good with no chaffing or exposed wires.

 

I know but I dont know what eles to do at this point. everything Ive tried hasnt work.

 

Check for power and ground and the pcm, check for +5v at a couple of key on sensors.

 

Thank you so much I found one in washington and they are shipping it to me. same year and part number too.

 

Awesome! Let's hope it starts on the first try.

 

Updates? My ecu is going bad as well i think.

 

You might want to post the TOYOTA part# you need,

Check into having yours rebuilt ECM depot out of Grand Prairie TX

 

I need this one 89661-0480

 

They really dont just go bad like a Jeep. Usually they have to be submerged in water. Those Japanease know their electronics.

 

water or a Voltage Spike!!

I see quite a few Rodent chewed wires only found after the harness is disconnected .

The White Shadow just what is the problem you think yours is bad??
