The Toyota 2UZ-FE is legendary. As a 4.7-liter, 32-valve, dual-overhead-cam V8, it powered some of the most reliable vehicles ever built, including the Land Cruiser 100 Series (UZJ100), Lexus LX470, 4th-generation Toyota 4Runner, Tundra, and Sequoia.
For common applications like the 2004–2006 Toyota Tundra or Land Cruiser 100, the Engine Control Module (ECM) uses multiple connectors (labeled E3 through E7) to manage the Sequential Fuel Injection (SFI) and ignition systems.

Before diving into pins, understand that the 2UZ-FE uses a Toyota EFI system (TCCS – Toyota Computer Control System). The ECU (Engine Control Unit) controls not only fuel and spark but also electronic throttle control (on later models), knock control, VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence), and automatic transmission logic (when paired with the A750F or A343F). 2uzfe ecu pinout

While exact pin locations differ, these primary terminals are essential for diagnostics and wiring: Power & Ground: BATT: Constant 12V battery power. +B / +B2: Switched power from the EFI relay. MREL: Main relay control signal. E01 / E1: ECU grounds. Sensors (Input): The Ultimate Guide to the 2UZ-FE ECU Pinout:
For accurate documentation on the Toyota 2UZ-FE engine control unit (ECU), several technical manuals and wiring diagrams provide the necessary pinout data for troubleshooting or engine swaps. Key Technical Documents and Diagrams
Pro Tip: Pins E5-25 and E5-26 must have a clean ground. If these are loose, the ECU will reboot randomly while driving. +B / +B2: Switched power from the EFI relay
When working with these units, especially for swaps, you may find that early models (like the Land Cruiser 100 Series) are non-flashable, while later VVT-i versions offer more programmability but often include complex immobilizers.
He held a crumpled printout of the 2UZ-FE ECU pinout, the ink fading where his oily thumb had pressed too hard. To anyone else, it was a dry spreadsheet of abbreviations: IGT1, E01, +B, BATT. To Elias, it was a map. He needed to find where the pulse of the ignition met the logic of the computer.
