Batt does mean battery, yes. It provides power to the ECU. But the ECU is only turned on once it has power at B+ also, which is from the ignition switch, maybe via a relay.
i have sorted out all of my wiring but i need to know where the BATT (battery) wire on the ecu goes, and that is the power to the ecu? isnt it
do i run it straight to the (+) on the battery threw a fuse? or what

hi mate im a autoelec that pin that says batt is actually a backup power supply for the ecu you should run it to power at all times fused 10amp

cheers mate thats what i was wonder cause an ecu should alway have power or it would reset, cheers

KK's correct, you don't need batt connected to get it running, but do connect it! In the wiring diagram that I have it connects to junction box 3 which is located near the steering column, and this is fed from EFI main relay no.2 in junction box 1 (driver footwell). I've bypassed JB3 in my set up for simplicity and am running a 10amp in-line fuse directly to JB1.
Typically it is run off the taillight + supply. Don't ask me why, that's just how Toyota did it.
Yeah golberg is right havent got a diagram handy for the colours but you can connect it to the stoplight + wire behind the l/h kick panel i think
