Frequently Asked Questions
Does this ECM need to be programmed for my 2010 Prius?

What are signs that my Prius ECM is failing?
Common symptoms include engine warning lights, poor fuel economy, rough idling, failure to start, hybrid system errors, or the engine running in limp mode. These issues often require professional diagnosis to confirm ECM failure.
Is this the same as a PCM or engine computer?

Will this fit other Toyota hybrid models besides Prius?
This specific ECM is designed for 2010 Toyota Prius models manufactured through August 2009. Contact us with your VIN to verify compatibility, as ECMs are typically model and year specific.
