  3. Nov 27, 2008  Problem: 1999 Sienna. Check engine light comes on, code 155, replaced Bank 2 Sensor 1 oxygen sensor twice, reset the memory and after each time the light comes back on after 50 miles. Sensor checked out good per Chilton manual for both sensor and heater when out of the circuit. Also checks out good when in the circuit using DVM.
  4. When you check Toyota Sienna car engine light came on code P0500 the reason should be Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light). However manufacturer may have a different definition for the P0500 OBD-II Diagnostic Powertrain (P) Trouble Code. So you should chech it on our car models.

First diagnose P0300 TOYOTA code

    Check the 'Possible Causes' listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.

P0300 TOYOTA Tech Notes

The P0300 code means that a cylinder(s) is misfiring or is randomly misfiring. Start by checking for intake leaks, intake gaskets are commonly caused of multi-cylinder misfiring. If no leak is found the next step is to replace the spark plugs. If the problem persists more tests needs to be done to diagnose the problem, see 'Possible Causes'

Toyota Check Engine Light Codes

Reset check engine light toyota

Introduction:

All Toyota vehicles with electronic fuel injection utilize the Toyota EFI or TCCS engine management system. This system incorporates many features to enhance performance, emissions, and drive-ability. One feature is the Self Diagnostic System. The self diagnostic system monitors engine operations and when a particular sensor or input varies out of specified operating parameters, the 'Check Engine' will be illuminated.

The check engine lamp alerts the driver or technician that a problem exists in the EFI/TCCS ECU or Engine Control Unit or 'computer.' When the check engine light is illuminated, it is indicating that a problem in the engine management system has been detected. At this time, a 'code' may be stored in the ECU which pinpoints a possible component in the EFI/TCCS system. By checking the trouble codes, a possible problem could be narrowed down to a number of causes. While not an exact diagnostic tool, the check engine light and self-diagnostic system can get the individual working on his/her truck close to a possible fault, and, hopefully, to a successful repair.

Listed below are one and two digit trouble codes for the EFI/TCCS systems and possible causes. As mentioned above, this is not an exact science. Many other component failures can cause similar symptoms that can 'mask' the actual cause. EFI/TCCS computer interrogation is one of the last steps to engine diagnostics. A thorough inspection of the simple items should be done prior to any computer-related repairs. Sometimes it's the simple things that will get you. In addition, use caution when working on the electrical system of your vehicle. Not only is the electrical system delicate to water, static electricity, and outright physical abuse, the ignition system puts out high voltage as well and you can be seriously injured if you do not exercise basic safety.

Reading the Trouble Codes:

Reading the diagnostic trouble codes is very easy. You will need a paper clip to short the check connectors of the diagnostic connector. The diagnostic connector comes in two types. The early system is located on the inner-left fender well and is a round, green connector, usually located near the air cleaner. Simply jump the two terminals in this connector with the ignition switch in the 'ON' position and the engine off. Later models, '87 and newer use a multiple terminal 'DIAGNOSTIC' connector which is a small, rectangular-shaped gray 'box', usually located near the right fender in the engine compartment. To get codes out of this type of connector, jump the 'TE' and 'E1' or 'TE1' and 'E1' terminals. Finding these terminals is easy as the inside cover of the diagnostic connector contains a schematic of the connector pin-outs. If the under hood emission decal (VECI) is still intact on your vehicle, the proper pins for this are outlined there as well.

The trouble codes will appear as flashes of the check engine lamp. Be sure the ignition key is on, the engine off, and your foot off of the accelerator when reading the codes.

  • On the early 22RE engines ('85-'87), there are only 'one-digit' codes, that is the entire code will be counted out in 1 - 13 flashes.
  • Later model 22RE engines ('88-'95) can have two different code types may appear:
    • One-digit and two digit.
      • One digit codes have an approximate 4.5 second delay between flashes with the check engine light illuminating for about a half of a second.
      • Two digit codes have a 2.5 second delay between them.
    • For example a code two flashes the check engine lamp two times in a little over one second: I I.
      • If two single digit codes are stored, such as a code two and a code four, the lamp may flash as such: ..I I..I I I I. Crude examples but you get the idea.
    • Two digit codes are similar but will flash the lamp with the first number first and the second number last.
      • An example of a code twelve is I ..II and a code twenty four is I I.IIII.

Trouble Codes and Possible Causes:

In reading the trouble code descriptions and probable causes, the most likely causes are listed first followed by less likely causes. So, you'll see 'Defective ECU' listed in many codes as a probable cause. SInce it is listed last, it is the least likely cause of any of the problems. So don't assume that if you have a couple of codes that all list 'Defective ECU' as a probable cause, that you have a defective ECU. Sure it is possible, but if things basically work aside from the store trouble code, your ECU is probably OK. And don't forget how the various sensors are wired up. You'll have the sensor, possibly with some wires coming off it, that in turn connects to the engine wiring harness. That is where most folks think of looking for 'open' or 'short' circuits. But those wires also run all the way back to the ECU where they plug in with one of the 3 large connectors. So don't forget the other end of those wires.

Early 22RE engines:

CODEDESCRIPTION / PROBABLE CAUSE(S)
1Normal operation (no code stored)
2Open or shorted Air Flow Meter (AFM) circuit
- Defective AFM
- Defective Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
3No signal from igniter 4 times in succession
- Defective Igniter
- Defective Main Relay circuit
- Defective ECU
4Open or shorted Water Thermo Sensor (THW) circuit
- Defective THW
- Defective ECU
5Open or shorted Oxygen Sensor (O2) circuit
- Lean or rich indication (with injectors full rich or full lean)
- Defective O2 sensor
- Defective ECU
6No engine revolution sensor (Ne) signal to ECU
- Ne being over 1000 RPM in spite of no Ne signal to ECU
- Defective Igniter circuit
- Defective Igniter
- Defective distributor
- Defective ECU
7Open or shorted Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) circuit

- Defective ECU
9not used?
10No starter switch signal for ECU w/ vehicle speed = 0 and engine RPM > 800
- Defective Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
- Defecticve main relay circuit
- Defecticve igniter switch to starter circuit
- Defective ECU
11Short circuit in Check Connector T with A/C switch ON or TPS - IDL point OFF
- Defective A/C switch
- Defective TPS circuit
- Defective TPS
- Defective ECU
12Knock control Sensor (KS) signal has not reached judgement level in succession
- Defective KS circuit
- Defective KS
- Defective ECU
13Knock CPU (Sensor?) faulty

Some possible causes of the above trouble codes:

  • Codse 3 and 6 point to the coil and ignitor, try a new one.
    • Another symptom is an erratic fatory tachometer, as the tach. signal comes from the ignitor circuit.
  • Any of the TPS codes; test out the Throttle Position Sensor both at the sensor and at the ECU connector,
    • Also make sure the TPS connector is tight.
  • Any of the AFM codes; test out the Air Flow Meter both at the sensor and at the ECU connector,
    • Also make sure the AFM connector is tight.
  • Any of the Knock Sensor codes; check the connector and wiring at the Knock Sensor, it is a shielded wire and is somewhat delicate.

While a lot of the possible faults in the EFI system point to the ECU itself, it should be noted that ECU failure is not common. The ECU should be replaced only as a last resort or if all diagnoses points to a bad ECU. Usually, troublesome EFI problems are a result of poor grounds, shorted wiring, and bad connections at sensors.When all else fails, carefully consult your factory repair manual. It contains more comprehensive diagnostic information and great electrical wiring diagrams.

Happy 'Diagnosticating!'
