Toyota Camry Error Codes

Camry error codes help with the help of computer diagnostics to make the correct "diagnosis", to understand which element, engine sensor, gearbox, etc., has failed. This greatly speeds up car repairs. Modern scanners independently decode error codes, but if you use diagnostic equipment that does not do this, then we will try to help.

Correct diagnostic work Camry 50

The sequence of reading the error code is approximately the same for all Toyota cars:

  • with the ignition off, connect the scanner to the diagnostic connector,
  • establish a connection between the scanner and the phone via Bluetooth, if the diagnostic program is installed as an application on the smartphone; connect the scanner to the computer of the laptop on which the diagnostic program is installed,
  • In the program menu for reading the error code, select the Toyota Camry of the required year and body,
  • turn on the ignition or start the engine and start the scan,
  • the program will generate error codes that have been saved in the vehicle control units since the last time the fault codes were deleted,
  • remove all errors, drive a car 2-3 kilometers and re-read, now the equipment will show only operational problems, and not all, including the fixed ones,
  • write error codes, if the program decrypts, then write or save the problems shown,
  • at the end of diagnostic operations, turn off the scanner and ignition.

Modern scanners

Now many scanners are presented for reading car error codes that fully decode the error codes. These programs are translated into Russian, easy to use and allow you to customize the parameters of the car. For example, the time when the lights go out, after the ignition is turned off, after how many seconds the interior lights go out during landing, landing, and more.

 

The owner of the car should think about the purchase of diagnostic equipment. Not bad manufacturers of diagnostic devices: Launch, ELM, Autel, Autocom, Carman.

Error codes Toyota Camry 40

Check VSC System - the message appears on the on-board computer screen.

 

The notification itself Check VSC System does not carry specific information, it is a warning that something is wrong with the car. Significant problems may not be, for example, refuel with a running engine, or recharge a dead battery, a Check VSC System will appear. If there is no breakage, the message will go away, turn off and start the car 10 times, or disconnect the battery terminal for 5 minutes. The notification does not go away, then conduct a computer diagnostics Camry.

P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0355, P0356

Ignition coil errors, the last two can appear only on Toyota V6 engines, for example, 2GR-FE.

 

The reasons for the appearance of these codes:

  • failed ignition coil,
  • faulty wiring to coils
  • broken electronic control unit.

To accurately diagnose the fault, measure the electrical signal from the ignition coil with an error with an oscilloscope. If there is no oscilloscope, you can swap a potentially faulty coil with another. For example, there is an error P0351, moved the coil from the first cylinder to the second, now the scanner shows P0352 - the problem is in the coil, if the code remains the same P0351 - the wiring or the ECU is faulty.

P0172

Error P0172 - too rich air / fuel mixture. Causes:

 

  • air intake system
  • faulty jets,
  • mass air flow sensor not working correctly,
  • fuel pressure out of limits,
  • exhaust gas leak
  • the problem is in the circuit or in the oxygen sensor itself,
  • ECU.

For an accurate "diagnosis", refer to an experienced master.

 

One of the ways to eliminate the error is to replace the valve VVT-I.

P2237

P2237 - open circuit of the oxygen sensor (A / F) pump current circuit, P2238 - weak current in the oxygen sensor (A / F) pump current circuit (1 row 1). It's about the lambda probe, installed before the catalyst, which is located next to the engine. This error may not affect the behavior of the car, but fuel consumption will increase. We want to warn against replacing this sensor with a non-original one.

Lambda probe new
Lambda probe new

The use of this head will not remove the heat shield when replacing broken lambda probes.

P0137, P0157

P0137, P0157 - low voltage in the oxygen sensor circuit (row 1, row 2 sensor 2).

 

Causes of P0137, P0157 errors:

 

  • open circuit, breaking of the heated oxygen sensor circuit, row 1.2 sensor 2,
  • faulty lambda probe (heated oxygen sensor),
  • sensor air-fuel mixture row 1.2 sensor 1,
  • exhaust gas leakage.
New and old lambda probe
New and old lambda probe

If the active ratio is enriched during active air-fuel ratio control, but the output voltage of the heated oxygen sensor is less than 0.21 V (lean), the ECM regards this as an excessively low sensor output voltage and detects DTC P0137 or P0157. If during the active air-fuel ratio control the specified ratio is depleted, but the output voltage is more than 0.59 V (enrichment), the ECM regards this as an excessively high output voltage of the sensor and registers DTC P0138 or P0158.

 

If replacement of the sensor did not bring results, then the master could change the wrong sensor (this happens often), or the problem is not in the sensor, but in the circuit or in the exhaust leak.

 

Check all the connectors, they could oxidize, moisture could get into them. Visually inspect the wiring for integrity. If the visual circuit is in order, then check its operation using an oscilloscope.

Camry Diagnostic Connectors 40

Diagnostic connector in the Camry 30 is to the left of the steering column.

 

OBD 2 diagnostic connector Camry 40, 50 and 55 is located under the steering column below the dashboard next to the pedal assembly (photo attached).
