Yes, its inside the ECU and isn't servicable. You must replace the ECU or install an external regulator, but the CEL will be on.

Detail your symptoms for the most accurate replies.

I'm not a big fan of external voltage regulators as it leaves the check engine light on.

Better to get a new computer IF everything else has been ruled out. But be sure!
