Boots Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hi, Last year, my Check Engine light came on and I limped home and went into Toyota, they diagnosed it as a failed computer. So far was only into the diagnose $75, fair enough for about two hours of checking things. Then there was the good news / bad news scenario - first the good news they found out the specific model and cost ( 1700.00) and the bad news (they dont make them anymore) you can imagine how that went over. Went home and 30 minutes later, on the internet found a place in Florida, their price 295.00 refurbished. And if you returned your old defective unit, you had a lifetime warranty for the rest of the time you owned it. So off I went, ordered it - two days later installed it and two days later returned it to them. It has worked flawlessly, they registered me for the returned unit warranty and I am a happy camper! By the way make sure you have the specific model number for the transmission, apparently there are a number of different models of computers based on the engine transmission/ rear axle (dual wheel in my case) so be accurate.

Thank you, Navy reread his post( I had to), he did buy 1. good to know you have 1, I would hold onto yours until someone else needs it if they are "hard to source" computers. your computer will also fit 4Runner/truck 2wd V6 1989 August production date to-1990.August production date.

Bunneys Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 This is a picture of mine from an 89. I'm not too sure if it is the same as a 4runner or regular truck... the C&C models have a different shift pattern, I'm no expert, but believe the computer controls that... My part number is 89661-35241 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
