my ecu got drenched in water, so i ordered another one , same exact model. what all will i have to do to make it work in my truck 07 taco trd0ffroad 4x4 v6automatic. TRYIN TO AVOID STEALERSHIP!
The ECU controls the underhood functions..yea but i read all sorts of different things. like key codes, transponders, chips bla bla bla , so i asked in first post what all needs to be done to make it work because my mech doesnt do keys.....
When you get it working again, wrap it with saran wrap:waytogo:thank u kindly ,ok guess i will just have to wait and see if keys work once the new ecu is installed. thanks for the help to those who helped. to those who have nothing better to do with there life but pour water on a drowning man, well i wish u well in your quest for true happiness and protection in the real world.
ok now that makes sense.so no way to get just one key programmed to it, then the other 2 just like it I can do those myself if i have one that works?You cannot get a used ECU and just plug it in and have it work. Those days are long gone.
The vehicles VIN and mileage has to be programmed into the new ECU and then it has to be paired with the key transponder module. Then each key you have has to be reprogrammed to work with the key transponder again.
