Serious

Severity: Serious - have it checked soon

Low fuel pressure - forced limited power

23 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 fuel pressure or a fuel leak, which carries a stall or fire risk.

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

Do not drive if you smell fuel. Have the fuel system checked before driving further: a fuel leak or loss of pressure can cause a fire or make the engine stall.
