    Ah....as long as you leave the ECU attached to the car you can send it to your local Toyota dealer for diagnosis.
    Not starting could be anything from a dead battery, to the ECU, to an inverter, to a million other things.

    I think what our good moderator is saying is: Have you measured the 12VDC Aux Battery, Headlights? Connections, Pertinent fuses, CB's etc. The archives and Johns site have a wealth of info. Don't just remove the ECU, you could screw something up!
