Re: where & how to reset my 1990 4-Runner ECU?

About half of the ECU codes stored on the first & second generation EFI Toyotas don't show a constant blinking check engine light therefore you must pull the ECU codes to see if a fault is registered.
To pull the ECU codes:

All 1980-1995 and including 1995 EFI equipped vehicle allow you to find engine and related faults by pulling the ECU (computer) codes without the need for a handheld OBDII diagnosis scanner,the sites listed below have the fault codes needed to pull the codes and the instructions on how to do it:

To reset ECU simply disconnect the battery or the 15 amp fuse found in the fuse box next to the dianostic box on passenger side fender for 1 minute or so.
