Drives: Yaris XP9 1. So, Since a while we are seeing the check engine light pop up sometimes on our Yaris 1. I saw this for the first time about three months ago. Had some issues with the rear muffler, but that one was replaced for a original one by the dealer. New muffler sits under the car for about a month now, but i saw the P again last week. However, what is the cause of this and how can i solve it more permanently? Is there someone who has dealt with this error before? Car runs fine otherwise, no issues.

Use an ODB2 check engine light reader to read the error codes that are causing your check engine light CEL to illuminate. Error codes that start with P, refer to a problem with the catalytic converter cat. The way the vehicle determines that the catalytic converter is working okay is by measuring the oxygen content of the exhaust both upstream and downstream of the catalytic converter. If the cat is working, the 2 readings should be different. If the cat is not working and not doing anything to the exhaust, then the 2 sensors will read the same thing — indicating a problem.

Hope it helps. Tundra2 likes this. Upstream sensor only monitors what the exhaust gasses look like before they enter the cat.

If so, how do you then narrow it down to the upstream or downstream o2 sensor? I'm looking at something online that says that yes, bad spark plugs can cause the P Make sure they give you a sticker which shows the recalibration was performed. Sign up.
