Part Description
This Engine Control Module (ECM) was removed from a 1999 Lexus GS400 donor vehicle and has been professionally inspected for functionality. The unit is identified as part number 88661-3A551 and is located behind the left headlamp assembly. This electronic control unit has been tested and is currently on our shelf ready for immediate shipment.
The Engine Control Module is the brain of your vehicle’s engine management system, controlling fuel injection, ignition timing, emissions systems, and other critical engine functions. ECM failures can cause poor engine performance, rough idling, stalling, check engine lights, or complete no-start conditions. When your original ECM fails due to electrical issues, corrosion, or component wear, a quality used OEM replacement is often the most cost-effective solution.
