Hilux electrical malfunctions

I'm getting an error on my 2008 Toyota Hilux diesel, around 62000 km. General electrical malfunctions and the navigation system is dead. Diagnostics say the control unit programming is implausible. Anyone seen similar ECU problems?

Hey, that sounds familiar! I had something similar happen with my Hilux. Was it throwing up any other weird symptoms, like the lights flickering or the radio cutting out?

Thanks. Besides the navigation, no flickering lights or radio issues. Could you elaborate on your issue and how you fixed it, especially the control module?

Yeah, mine was a bit of a mess, honestly. It sounds like yours isn't quite as bad, thankfully. But still, with the error code and the electrical gremlins, it’s probably best to take it to a workshop. They'll likely need a recalibration or a software refresh. That's what fixed mine.

Thanks for the advice. Based on your experience, I'll book a qualified workshop for a control module recalibration or software refresh. Repair is around 240€.
