It's actually called the PCM (Powertrain Control Module), since it also controls the transmission.
Yes it is a major repair, the new PCM must be programmed by dealer with correct VIN.
They are located in either engine compartment or under glove box depending on model.
PCM failure is, for the most part, rare on Toyotas, so I would have the PCM tested by dealer before replacement, and if your car is out of warranty, they are usually around $1000 from Toyota.
