Serious

Severity: Serious - have it checked soon

Vacuum pump sensor failure

22 brands affected · Description from Toyota data.

Key terms: Oxygen sensor: measures oxygen in the exhaust gas · Mass air flow sensor: measures the air going into the engine · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

Safety: This code relates to the braking system or brake assist. Braking may be affected.

1What it means in plain English

This code is in the fuel and air metering range, which includes fuel-pressure and camshaft-timing faults.

2Common causes

  1. Dirty or faulty mass air flow sensor
  2. Vacuum or intake air leak
  3. Weak fuel pump or clogged fuel filter
  4. Faulty fuel injector
  5. Faulty oxygen sensor
  6. Wiring or connector fault

3Can I drive?

Serious · drive with care

Have it checked immediately: brakes or brake assistance may be affected. Do not drive if the pedal feels soft or hard, the car pulls when braking, or the brake warning light is on.

This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
