Fail-Safe Chart

2009 Toyota Camry HybridSECTION Fail-Safe Chart

If any of the following DTCs are set, the ECM (included in the hybrid vehicle control ECU) enters fail-safe mode to allow the vehicle to be driven temporarily.

FAIL-SAFE CHART

DTC Component Fail-Safe Operation Fail Safe Deactivation Condition
P0031, P0032 Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Heater ECM turns off A/F sensor heater Power switch off
P0037, P0038 Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater ECM turns off HO2 sensor heater Power switch off
P0100, P0102 and P0103 Mass Air Flow (MAF) Meter ECM calculates ignition timing according to engine speed and throttle valve position Pass condition detected
P0110, P0112 and P0113 Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor ECM estimates IAT to be 20°C (68°F) Pass condition detected
P0115, P0117 and P0118 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor ECM estimates ECT to be 80°C (176°F) Pass condition detected
P0120, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0220, P0222, P0223, P0604, P0606, P0607, P0657, P2102, P2103, P2111, P2112, P2118, P2119 and P2135 Electronic Throttle Control System (ECTS) ECM cuts off throttle actuator current and throttle valve returns to 6.5° throttle position by return spring. ECM then adjusts engine output by controlling fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in accordance with accelerator pedal opening angle to allow vehicle to continue at minimal speed* Pass condition detected and then power switch turned off
P0327, P0328, P0332 and P0333 Knock Sensor ECM sets ignition timing to maximum retard Power switch off
P0351 to P0356 Igniter ECM cuts fuel Pass condition detected
NOTE:
  • *: The vehicle can be driven slowly when the accelerator pedal is depressed gently. If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the vehicle may speed up and slow down erratically.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
