No spark, no obd communication points towards an ecm issue.

2015 Trail cranks but will not start
I'm capable to a degree but since I hit this OBD issue i'm stuck.....
I've pulled every fuse at this point for visual as well as testing with a meter and swapped relays, there are some fusible links but when I turn the key everything powers up and the starter cranks hard so those I would think would be a non issue.
I've got the manual downloaded and am sifting through it but its slow for me with work and the kids off school.
I found an ECM with the exact part number and build date for 200 bucks shipped but its not plug-n-play with the immobilizer business so a trip to the dealer would be mandatory for pairing the bits together. but who knows if that ECM is even operational. (pee into the wind)
The good news is that the immobilizer is a separate ECU and will retain it's memory. The bad is that there are several ECUs that work together to make the thing run.
No comms at the OBD (DLC in Toyoese) while all the body related stuff works does make the ECM suspect. Let's see if it has power.
I'm having trouble placing remote images in the post so everything will be 'Attached'.
Here is a link to the entire 2010 wiring diagram set.
You will find that it can be difficult to locate a specific area or component by file names. I use windows explored to search (Ctrl F) within the folder to find the right file sometimes.
The last attachment shows the main power feeds to the ECM.
first a Toyota wiring diagram refresher in the first 3
The connections are displayed as a box for pass thru connector to connector. The ID is in the box- FA2 in this example. The pin number is beside it.
Connector to an item (ECM in this case) are shown as circles with the Connector key in the circle (the key is a single character) Somewhere on the diagram the key will show the connector ID. In this case F equates to ID F51.
The last pages of each diagram set (pdf file) will show the connectors.
*Edit* !! The images show a face view. When back-probing you have think in a mirror image. Left is Right when viewed from the wire side.
As you search for connectors in the files you will find that sometimes item F51 will be F 51 in other locations. Spaces count for seach…..
Let us know!! I"m guessing wire at battery terminal just to have a guess in. Good luck!
Bad idea. Who is going to clean up the blood?If that's it.....i'll be the first to punch myself in the face
But....I just had AAA take it over to the dealer :whipping2

Dropped of my 4R Friday around 0930 and have heard nothing since (they were backed up) So I picked up my rental this am and popped in to see if they had any updates.
As i walked in the tech put rhen w/o on the desk.
Fixed.... Dead ECU.
Had my rental 20 min.
They were able get me an ECU somehow between Friday am and this morning for 650$ installed including the diagnostic time.
I don't know how the hell that all came together so quickly and the cost was far better than I had been anticipating.
My headache from grinding my teeth is gone.....
I picked them up a couple pizzas and hit the road.
Thanks all for tag teaming my 4R.....
So I was typing that as i was waiting for the paperwork. The service rep said it was the ECU....
Turned out that it was a Relay that i have no idea where it's located.
The relay #82641-60080 was 200$ and the diagnosis time/labor was 2.5hrs
Where is this and what is its job?
