• Three rectangular connectors with blade-style male terminals
• Aluminum housing for OE-style construction
• 100% computer tested for functionality and reliability
• Critical components are re-soldered or replaced during remanufacturing
• On-car validation is used to verify durability and performance
• Flash programming required: No
• Flashable: No

Product Details

Cardone’s Engine Control Module line focuses on restoring electronic and powertrain control performance through remanufacturing rather than replacement with a new unit. For this application, the 72-1191 is built to meet OE fit and function expectations, with attention to known failure points identified through reverse engineering and component-level repair. This approach helps address original design weaknesses while maintaining the correct configuration for the vehicle.

Compatible With 1988 Toyota 4Runner, N/A, and 1988 Toyota Pickup, N/A. This part cross-references Toyota 8966135110 for the same application. The Cardone 72-1191 is a direct-fit ECM for 1988 Toyota 4Runner and 1988 Toyota Pickup models equipped with the Federal Emission System.

Common Issues This ECM Can Address

• No-start or hard-start conditions caused by a failed engine control module
• Intermittent drivability problems related to unstable ECM circuitry
• Check engine concerns tied to control module failure
• Loss of proper fuel and ignition management from a damaged ECM
• Vehicle performance issues after an original module failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Before replacing the original ECM, verify the root cause of the failure. Common causes include poor grounds, power supply issues, damaged wiring harnesses, and shorted solenoids or relays. Confirm the Ford, GM, or Chrysler programming notes do not apply to this Toyota application; this unit is listed as pre-programmed from the factory and does not require flash programming.

Use the vehicle’s original connector layout and confirm the part number cross-reference before installation. For best results, inspect related circuits and repair any underlying electrical faults before installing the replacement module.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured ECM is computer tested, and critical internal components are reworked or replaced at the Philadelphia manufacturing plant. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
