2016 Tacoma SR Throwing a P0133 Code?

Hi guys,

Bought my new 2016 SR5 speed 4 cylinder last Saturday on the 10th. I went to put my ultra gauge in it the other day when I left work and on my way home it beeped cause it threw a code. The code is P0133 (Intake Air Temperature High Circuit). I'm guessing its going to need a new MAF?
Plugged my Torque obd2 reader in and got this!

The Intake Air Temperature Sensor measures the rise and fall of the air temperature inside the Intake Manifold. This provides critical data needed for the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the Air Fuel Ratio, the Ignition Spark Timing and many components of the Emission Control Systems.

Code P0113 sets when the voltage signal to the PCM from the Intake Air Temperature Sensor Circuit stays above 4.5 volts while the Coolant Temperature Voltage readings are rising and falling within an appropriate range.

Symptoms

• Check Engine Light will illuminate
• In some cases, the engine may be hard starting and/or get poor fuel economy
• Poor engine performance/hesitation on acceleration

Common Problems That Trigger the P0113 Code

• Defective Intake Air Temperature Sensor
• Dirty air filter
• Defective Mass Air Flow Sensor
• Faulty or corroded Intake Air Temperature Sensor wiring or connections

Common Misdiagnoses

• Intake Air Temperature Sensor is replaced when the real cause is a dirty air filter
• Intake Air Temperature Sensor is replaced when the real cause is a poor connection or chafed wiring
• Intake Air Temperature Sensor is replaced when the real problem is in the Mass Air Flow Sensor

 

Yep, gonna call and get an appointment and get them to look at it. The truck has 250 miles on it lol

 

Why did you decide on a 4 cylinder and not on the 6 cylinder ?

 

I like the 4 cylinder and the gas mileage and I don't tow much and i use the 6ft bed alot! It's a good bit more for the v6 also! Plus the 4 cylinder motor is bullet proof!

 

I agree that the 2.7 L motor is "bullet proof". The pricing is around $2,600 more for the V6. I am doing a special order this month.

 

Def bulletproof. Better than 22re. imo

 

Doubtful. 2trfe is an old proven design. They made very few internal changes. I am almost certain the sensors and all the engine components remain the same as gen 2.

 

High voltage code usually means that the sensor is unplugged. Or someone turned the key on while it was unplugged at some point.

 

Atleast you didn't get a pcloadletter code
