Where is the ABS computer? ('90 runner)

[Daveed]

Anyone know where it is at?

I want to unplug it. The dash warning light has been on for a couple of years so I finally got around to taking it in to the dealer for a diagnosis. They said the abs computer was fried and would cost about $800 to replace it OR I could just unplug it to get rid of the light. Problem is I can't find the abs computer. I found the abs relay on the passenger fender however, unplugging it didn't make the dash light go off.

PS This is a 1990 4runner with rear abs only.
Also, the light used to go on and off every couple of months but has been on completely for about 2 years now. The brakes still work fine (dealer said they just wouldn't be anti-lock).

I think...not positive that it is located behind the panel which is directly to the left of your left foot on the dirvers side. It's been a while since I was in there. That could be the location in my Tacoma, I cannot remember. I will look in my repair manual to be sure.

Thanks for the input (both of you who e-mailed and posted here). I'll check out those spots.

No it's not there, but I don't know where it is. I looked in the repair manual and it said if the ABS needs servicing, take it to a dealer. No help there.

I did find it last night. It is above the glovebox inside the dash. Thanks for the help.

PS Unplugging it didn't make the dash light go off...

DOH!!

Good thing you mentioned to look there, cause I also needed to find the cruise control computer...and that's where it is.
