Gen7 Ecu Unit Blown?

[J888]

Hi evereyone...i need some serious help! :S

I recently got a 2005 gen7 and the ABS light came on causing it to fail MOT.

I took it to the local Toyota dealer who said there is probably a problem with the sensors which will cost around £200 to repair.

Fair enough. I just got a call from them saying that the ECU unit has blown, and its gona cost me more than £1000 to fix!!!!

Can anyone tell me if this is a common problem...or are Toyota trying to get money from me?

And if this is the problem....can it be repaired cheaper elsewhere??

I hope someone can help!

Thanks!

ECU's don't just blow. I hope the garage didn't damage it. search bba reman on the web, they can probably fix the ecu for less than a new one.

thanks for the reply..i'll check that out.

Well..they said that the ABS pump has blown and the ABS ECU unit needs replacing.
