Cruise Control ECU - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I really need help!

I've searched, and most only deal with the actuator in the engine bay.
My car is cruise control equipped, but it was never used. "Cruise Control" does not light, so I suspect its the ECU.

From what I read its by the passenger foot well below the glove box(???)

I need help, please tell me where it is & how I get to it.

Thanks!

In my 92 it was located behind the glove box. Remove glove box, and plastic cover on bottom of dash and you will see the engine ecu and the cruise ecu. BTW, I have my old comp from my car, not sure if it does work but I am selling it cheap if you do need one.

Thanks.
I'll pull the glove box, and check it out.
Once I pull the glove box is there a real obvious difference between the two ECU's?
(like one is obviously the cruise ecu, and the other the car ecu?)

I dont really use cruise but, if the cruise is not working, I'll be sure to ask about your ECU.
Thanks Again.

The CC light doesn't light at all, or it lights for a couple of seconds, blinks a bit, then shuts off?

The light never turns on, and the system never functions.
I checked through the engine bay and the actuator and wiring harness are plugged up.
So I'm guessing it really could just be the ECU or a wiring harness.

My car (then mom's) was stripped in 1996 down while parked overnight. The dash board was completely stripped off and many componants were stolen, down to the seat belts.
After insurance low balled Toyota, the dealer had to put "the pieces back together". I have a feeling that if the cruise ECU was stolen (& if it was, hopefully replaced) it was not wired when the dealer completed the job. So I wanted to check to see if everything was attached.

Also I do have a question. I removed the glove box door so far, and I see bolts below it, but the interior trim piece covers these. I only found one screw on the left side of the trim piece by the center console. How do I remove the trim? Thanks.
