Anyone seen or heard of a PO200 or P0200? It's the code I got on my IS350. Apparently it's a faulty fuel injector/cylinder? I think they said the cylinder is not getting enough oxygen?

I have the same 3 lights comming on as everyone else. I brought it to one of the Techs i know at my Lexus who is a friend of a frend. He said the Check engine light is connected to the VSC, so when ever the check engine light comes on it shuts the VSC off and the light will come on. He did not know what the problem was but said it was probably becuase of my Fujita intake. He said the engine is probably getting too much air and the computer doesnt recognise it or something like that. He reset my computer and the lights went off. He told me to take it back if they come back on. Well, a half hour later after going into a store i turn my car on and there you go, all 3 lights on again. I am going to try and bring it back tomorrow and make him check the gas cap and O2 sensor. The light has been going on and off for a few weeks now.

Does anyone that is haveing these lights come on also have an aftermarket intake?

P0200 is the OBD-II code for an injection circuit malfunction.

Bichon

Did the Lexus tech tell you what code(s) were set before he cleared them? If so, what were they?

ES3

Hmm, so the circuit may be more the problem than the actual injector?
Right now they're telling me there is no fix, and just to wait until it comes on again!?

No, P0200 is a generic code for an injector fault. P0201 through P0206 are specific to an individual injector. All that code tells you is there was a fault, it persisted for a number of cycles, but it wasn't enought to distinguish which injector had an issue. It's not a hard break. It may or may not lead to more codes. The best thing to do is document it happened in your service records and see if it returns.

im pritty sure he said nothing came up.

My friend threw a P0200 on his Audi A4 when his ignition control module went bad. The P0200 was in addition to a couple different P030x errors (engine misfire codes for different cylinders) and a flashing CEL -- the car would stumble and buck like a bronco whenever you gave it gas. Once the ignition problem was fixed, the injector code never came back. I guess my point is that sometimes the computer gets it wrong.

Bichon

That doesn't make sense. If the CEL is on, you should be able to read the DTC (diagnostic trouble code) that caused it. It has to function that way to be compliant with the OBD-II system as mandated by federal regulations.

Would the code get stored? Becuase at the time i braught it in the lights werent on. So does it only show up if the lights are on when the test is performed?

Bichon

It goes by warm up cycles. It takes three warm up cycles without the problem to turn off the check engine light. It takes a lot more -- something like 40 warm up cycles without the problem before the code is erased.

Toyota never erases the codes automatically. They have to be reset manually, especially engine codes. Either you pull the fuse/disconnect battery (erases some but not all codes) or you reset with a scantool (resets all codes and can reset learned behaviours.)

i just got the check vsc/engine light last night. i called the dealer to schedule an appt, first available is tomorrow. i am driving my gf's 07 camry now. i'll do the gas cap reseat thingy and maybe even unplug the battery and see what happens.
