2000 Rav4 immobiliser

[Iroxx]

Hi guys, in desperate need of some help! I need to find the immobiliser ecu in my 2000 rav4, I have stripped most of the dash down but canot locate it, i can trace the 5 wires from the transponder ring to the loom by the internal fuse board but then I lose them in the main loom,I can't find anything on the net and am almost at the end of my tether, its probably staring me in the face but I can't see it, any help would be greatly appreciated

After a bit of research i found out that this car was built in july 2000 so would it be possible that this car was produced with a gen1 immobiliser built into the main ecu as opposed to a separate unit

If this is a early 4.2 Rav the ecu should be in the end of the dashboard on the passenger side, there is a removable panel in the end of the dash for fixing bolts. Take out the glove box and look up into the l/h corner of the dash.The adjustable microwave should be behind the radio tied to the bulkhead strengthening bar.
