This service covers the repair and rebuild of your 1992-1996 Lexus SC300 or SC400 engine control unit (ECU) or engine control module (ECM).
You will notice we have a drop down for models and corresponding problems. What this means is the longer you wait to rebuild your ECU the more damage is happening. Once so much damage occurs the ECU will no longer work at all, the car won’t start, the check engine light won’t turn on, and there will be significant physical damage. This can double or triple the amount of work and labor needed to bring your computer back to life.

This Lexus ECU & ECM repair includes replacing bad capacitors, jumping or repairing traces, and board cleaning. We rebuild ECU’s only using the highest quality Japanese Nichicon, Panasonic, Chemi-con, and Rubycon low-ESR capacitors. We purchase our capacitors directly from USA suppliers such as Digi-Key or Mouser. We do not use Ebay capacitors or cheap generic capacitors.
There is a very small chance, less than 10% of the time that your Lexus ECU cannot be repaired due to extensive damage or needing repairs that would exceed the repair price in labor time and effort. If we spend significant time trying to repair or diagnose your ECU we will also charge the standard diagnosis fee. We will not do this without your approval. If you choose to purchase a replacement Lexus ECU if your ECU is not repairable we will also apply any repair service payment you already made towards the price of a replacement ECU.
Why choose Tanin Auto Electronix?
We have actual SC300 and SC400 test vehicles on site that we use to test your ECU. The first thing we do is plug your ECU into our vehicle and document exactly what issues we are seeing. Then we compare these issues to your work order and described problems. We complete all repairs and then plug your ECU back into our SC300 or SC400. We ensure it passes all tests, starts, idles, and shifts through the gears correctly without triggering any check engine lights.
Ask other companies if they actually plug your ECU into a vehicle to ensure it runs and functions the way it should. They do not. This is a gamble and a potential waste of time for you because if they forget a wire, trace, or problem in your ECU they are relying on YOU to QC their work. This is not how we do business.

This Company Serviced my ECU where it is working fine. The turn around time was pretty fast where I got it back within a week. The only future suggestion is that you should let the customer know what was wrong with the device that was serviced such as Capacitor issue, board issue etc.

Fast turnaround runs great
Larry K. (verified owner) –
Very happy with the service. I sent them my ECU from my 1992 Lexus SC400 because i was getting confusing diagnostic codes due to an intermittant engine misfire. They examined and tested the ECU and said that it is working properly and there is no need to perform any repairs on it (turns out the problem was a misfiring ignition coil). They then charged me only the diagnostic fee and refunded the additional funds that i had paid for a full service. They could have easily done some form of repair in order to keep the full $149 but they are obviously an honest shop and they do what they say they will do. Cant expect anymore than that from any business.
Mark G. (verified owner) –
Prompt communication when I had questions. Repaired ECU is working fine. I chose your shop over others because you test in actual car before shipping out. Thank you!
