2016 Tacoma CPS failure

I would imagine your battery is fully depreciated.

Also, this is solely my opinion, but if I were a betting man, I would think the most likely cause of the CPS malfunction is under voltage caused by a weak battery.

If I am right, it is not likely they would replace your battery as consequential damage.

If your starter is bad, which led to a low battery and thereby a bad CPS code, then the case is their that root cause was the starter and the battery damage was consequential.

 

Hmm yeah maybe I should have replaced the battery before I took it in to see if that would fix it.

 

Final Update: Toyota dealership checked it out, they said the cause of it was rodents chewed through the sensor wire.

 

They show you proof or are we just taking their word for it?

 

The sensor wasn't chewed through - it's a piece of plastic. What they probably ate was the wiring connecting to the sensor which I believe is covered in a soy-based wrapper that is tasty to rodents...

 

If they just replace the wiring, I'd still replace that sensor on my own if I were you... my truck, to this day, was never included in any CPS recalls. It is a FACT that mine was faulty. Period. Night/day difference in how my truck drove and behaved once replaced

 

I’m gonna take it to a well known Japanese car repair place in my area and have them look at it and replace it. Never liked the dealership

 

Yeah I’m gonna replace the whole sensor

 

Cool. Just turn that steering wheel to the left full lock, unsnap that splash guard behind your passenger wheel and PRO TIP: Remove the sensor FIRST with an angled 10mm, then remove the connector. That little connector is a PIA while the sensor is still mounted to the block

Perfect thanks! Where did you buy your replacement sensor from?

 

Ordered mine from Olathetoyota.com
