Engine
Occasional problems on this vehicle are failure of the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor and the Engine Control Module (ECM) software. The MAF and ECM software will cause the check engine light to illuminate. Toyota has revised the software so the Check Engine Light will not illuminate falsely and set trouble codes related to the Catalyst System. Factory warranty covers this software update for 8 years or 80,000 miles. The cost to replace the MAF Sensor is estimated at $139.95 for parts and $52.00 for labor. The cost to recalibrate the ECM is $65.00 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65.00 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.
