Just wanted to update this in case anyone had a similar issue. It was the Crankshaft Sensor. There was some corrosion starting on the sensor too, so it was pretty stuck but I was able to get it out with a wood dowel and a hammer, hitting the connector lightly to rotate the sensor in place. I'm...

A little update, I checked the wiring from the crankshaft sensor back to the ECM, and both wires tested good (<1 Ω). I was able to test the sensor itself and got a similar reading as from the ECM side (8.5 kΩ), which appears to be out of spec. I took the bolt off that holds the sensor on, but...

I didn’t change the relay out but with the security light operating normally (flashing until I put the key in), I figured the EFI relay and fuse were working correctly. I may be misunderstanding how that all works, but with the EFI fuse pulled out the security light won’t stop flashing, even...

Luckily I did find a wiring diagram here: LC100 Factory Service Manual - https://lc100e.github.io/ (Electrical Wiring Diagram > Overall Electrical Wiring Diagram > Engine Control > 2UZ-FE (1998.1 - 2000.7)) So it looks like the green wires to the cam and crank sensors ultimately splice...

I was just taking this apart to get at my ECM. I believe that is for the glovebox light but I could be wrong. I have the 2UZ-FE, but I wouldn't think that would be different.

Hey everyone, I have been working on my new-to-me 2000 LC on and off. I bought it about 10 months ago, and found out soon after that it needed an alternator. I had some other work taking up my time, but finally finished up the alternator replacement, and got everything put back together. At...

Thank you! Definitely nice to see as well, as I don't see many cruisers on the road up here. This one was on Facebook marketplace in Searsport. It is definitely tough to find a clean truck around here, and with $8-10k 4Runners and others I looked at having holes in the frame, this one being at...

Hey everyone, I just purchased my first LC, a 2000 with 247k miles. I originally started looking at 4x4 Toyotas with the 2UZ, like the 4Runner and Sequoias in the 2000s, but I was keeping the search open to 100-series Cruisers too. I am in Maine, and we have plenty of rust up here. After...
