Restore reliable operation to your 2001-2005 Toyota RAV4 with professional ECM (engine control module / ECU) repair. We diagnose and repair internal module faults that cause drivability and warning-light symptoms so you can avoid the expense of a full replacement.
Common symptoms we fix
- Check Engine Light (CEL) that persists after repairs
- Harsh, erratic, or late automatic transmission shifts
- “Limp mode” or reduced power conditions
- Stalling, rough idle, or intermittent misfires caused by module faults
- No-crank / no-start conditions tied to ECM failure
- Poor fuel economy due to incorrect engine control
What the service includes
- Bench diagnostic testing to identify internal failures
- Component-level repair and replacement of failed parts on the circuit board
- Verification of proper inputs/outputs and sensor/actuator control
- Final functional testing before return shipment
- Compatibility check – we confirm the part number and model before repair
How it works

- We ship the repaired ECM back to you with handling instructions for reinstallation.

This ECM repair service on our 2003 Toyota Rav4 literally saved me and my Dad thousands of dollars. The transmission was slipping badly, shifting harshly, I thought for sure the transmission was broken and I had been making plans to have the transmission swapped for a used one. It was going to cost us like $3K at least. However, then I did some more research and discovered these symptoms were often caused by this bug in the stock Toyota ECM, and found this repair service. I decided it was worth a shot. The ECM was repaired and sent back to me very quickly, I put it in the Rav4, and it worked! It completely fixed the transmission issues I was having. Now here it is 3.5 years later and the Toyota is still shifting and driving perfectly. No more transmission issues. Simply amazing.

This was a great experience. Richard was able to repair my ECM right away. I just installed it back My 2004 RAV4 and it’s running back to normal. Problem solved .

Highly recommend sending your ECM/ECU to Richard Rodriguez. It was a six day turnaround from removal to installation. Richard communicated via text and email almost immediately and throughout the process. Great customer service. Professional. Thank you, Richard.
2004 RAV 4 with the majority of the symptom discussed on the forums. Slow to accelerate followed by erratic and/or harsh shifting. Immediately drove home and jumped on the forums. Rav4Repair.com /TechnicalDomain.net discussed the remedy in majority of the forum channels. To be honest, I was leery about paying for a service and sending the ECM/ECU to some person sight unseen. I figured for the sub $200, it was worth the gamble. It ended up being the best money spent on a repair.
I read his other RAV4 solutions and would not hesitate to work with him again.

After doing research on Google and seeing his great reviews, I decided to give Richard my ECM to repair. He communicated with me with any questions I had and even spoke to him on the phone. Very nice guy and would definitely do business with him in the future! Once my ECM arrived to my surprise he shipped it out the same day! My car no longer has hard shifts. Thank you so much for everything! Super satisfied with his service.

Exceptional communications and fast service from Richard! Thought the old Rav4 had major mechanical issues and was not worth fixing until I noticed the symptoms were the same as described on this site due to ECM issue. Been driving it for 2 days after getting the ECU back and seems like all the transmission issues are fixed. Amazing.
