2023 Tacoma P11EC Code @ 39k Miles [UPDATE] code P11EC00 and P160500 Bad Injector?

2023 Toyota Tacoma SR V6 @ 39k miles with a P11EC code

I’ve done my research.. a ‘rare’ but notable issue with damage to the valves happening at very low milage… I have seen threads of older Gen 3s… but haven’t see many of newer ones. Taking it in two days from now to have it properly assessed. Anyone else out there? [6.23.25]

Update [6.25.25] Dealer pulled code P11EC00 and P160500 and has new injectors ordered and good thing is its under factory warranty… Billing for parts is $9k. Looks like they are acquiring all injectors. I inquired about a compression test because to my understanding this will get a good assessment on the health of the valves / cylinders. They told me it's not necessary. They also informed me its safe to drive.. I’m a bit concerned.. is it safe to drive considering these more specific codes that an injector is bad? They scheduled me for the work to be done on July 16th which is 3 weeks out? Safe to drive and put miles on?

For more context I had Auto zone pull the code P11EC which was telling me on the reports it’s specific to Cylinder #1… furthermore, the more I read into it everyone points to a burnt valve being the culprit since this fault is usually being found in Cylinder #1 OR #3 [Rarely #2]… Paranoid because I’m having different information coming to different conclusions.

 

Is this an extension of another thread on this topic I was just reading or is this different?

 

New here, Just posting a thread specifically talking about ‘newer’ gen 3s reporting having a P11EC code

 

Keep 1 thread for 100% less confusion.

 

Still under powertrain warranty, you're lucky!

 

He only has one thread, just happened to comment in another prior.

 

Toyota is definitely not the same as they were back in the day. Nowadays they know they have issues (too many to list) and they just keep rolling them out after years without correcting the problem. JMHO

 

Yeah, gonna take this one step at a time and assess accordingly… Back of my head once I get this fixed I might consider getting rid of it and getting an older tundra…
