[mrfastvrod]

I'm trying to program new remote and have to find the ECU.Anybody know the location??

The Main ECU is located on the passenger side behind the dashboard, under the airbag.

The Body ECU is located on the Drivers side. The fuze panel is where the Body ECU is.

My 97 is above the glove box. The remote controller is under the drivers seat.

Behind the glove box

There are ECUs all over the truck. The most important ECU is the ECM (Engine Control Module) and that is behind the glove box. The remote function on factory ('99+only) remotes is split between the Back Door ECU in the liftgate (where the antenna/receiver is) and the Body ECU by driver's knee that controls the doors. Add-on systems with alarms have boxes under the driver's seat or elsewhere. All wireless door systems prior to '99 are add-ons.

I don't mean to be picky, but it avoids confusion if we stick to the correct language. This is spelled out in the Abbreviations chapter of the FSM.

On a '96, you have an add-on system so the trucks ECM has nothing to do with remotes and neither does the Body ECU. Look for a box under the driver's seat, but since it was port or dealer installed they had a choice of where to put it.

is the main ECU for a 07 4runner also behind the glove box?
is the black square in upper left of pic for the 4wd? and the main engine ecu over on the right somewhere?

Yours is most likely located behind the glove box in the 4th gen section

I have a 97 limited. Can you help me locate my 4WD ECU?

Better to ask someone familiar with slush boxes. I have only worked on 5-speeeds. I can tell you what the diagrams say, but those are pretty vague.
