Title: Can anyone advise what these two boxes control?
Post by: MilesH on May 25, 2017, 18:35
I'm just about to remove the loom to start stripping. I've decided to go as extreme as possible with this one. Can anyone tell me what these two boxes control (one red and one black)?

They are located to the right of the steering wheel?

The first picture shows the boxes, the second picture gives an idea of location:

From memory they are the Body ECU (central locking etc) and the ABS ECU.

Tried checking in the BGB but the diags are LHD and show those 2 units in the same place. Maybe Toyota left them in the same place and just moved the steering wheel.

Have you googled the part numbers on them?

Thanks, well if you're right I can remove the ABS one at least, as no need for that on the brakes!

There's a box with an adjustable dial behind the drivers seat - anyone know what that is??

It's the microwave sensor for the alarm system.
