Hi all,
Jos from LCCSA has asked me to post this:
I hope you can help: I have Barries' L/C in my workshop and it is draining the main batteries within a few days. There is a 270mA drain which is causing this and I am convinced it is the backup battery of the TVSS (Toyota Vehicle Security System) which has died. The only problem is I don't know where it is located. Looking on the web site seems to confirm this diagnosis, but I cannot find any post where anyone has identified the battery's location.
Would you be so kind as to put up a post requesting this info?
Vehicle is 1999 LandCruiser 100VX 50th Anniversary Edition Turbo Diesel UK Spec (was imported into SA by previous owner)
There is a similar post elsewhere about this:
My 4.7 VX Amazon is draining the battery in a couple of days if I don't use it. I just had to fit a new 720A battery because 2 of the cells in my prevfious one had died. I measured the current drain with everything off and something was pulling 270mA. I went through the fuses one by one, pulling them until the drain reduced. There is a fuse in the Left hand side front of the car (I have a right hand drive) marked as ECU-B. Once I pulled this the current drain dropped to 70mA.
Does anybody know what ECU-B is?
Is this an easy part to replace?
Does anyone know approximate costs (in UK pounds would be helpful) or do I leave it and live with replacing a battery every 12 months as a cheaper alternative?
Cause remained unknown I think?
