I am getting a P1667 error in my 2003 toyota crown. Most of the searches online seem to point to a tcv circuit malfunction but I have no idea how to diagnose the problem. Please help.

Take a look at the wiring connections to your fuel injectors. You may have a bad connection.

    Are the wiring connections to the fuel injectors same as the connection to the vacuum thingy?

  • Rocguy Mar 20, 2019

    I don't have Toyota wiring colors. I'd just get at the injectors and see if the wires are ok

    The problem was in the vacuum switching valve, not the electrical connection. Once I replaced the valve with a new one, the check engine light disappeared. Funny thing is, the dahsboard was previously displaying TRC and VSC errors before but after replacing the above valve, all these errors disappeared; don't know how they were all connected.
    Anyway, thanks to everyone who chimed in on various ways to troubleshoot the issue. Problem is now solved.

    Great! Thanks for coming back and posting the fix. This might help someone else. I wish everyone reported back like you. Nice job, Moses

SOURCE: Error P0155

That code will not affect the drivability of the vehicle. The heater does just that: it heats up the oxygen sensor to operating temperature. You can change it yourself, raise the vehicle up, the sensor is the one on the passenger side, right after the exhaust manifold.

Thanks for choosing FixYa for advice!

SOURCE: HI I have toyota avensis verso

Air/Fuel Sensor Heater Circuit. (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

The A/F sensors are positioned high in the manifold before the cat and are used to make adjustments to the air/fuel ratio of the fuel injection system. The heated oxygen sensors are positioned after the cat and check the efficiency of the cat (what happened in there as a result of the A/F sensors above). They too can signal changes to the air/fuel ratio. These latter sensors only work when they are hot and need to be electrically heated quickly to give decent information quickly. They work by comparing the oxygen inside the exhaust with the oxygen on the outside.

You could say that the ones before the cat make large adjustments and the ones after make smaller refinements.

It is worth remembering that a fault code could have been stored because at some stage the sensor went outside of its range and for this reason it is always worth cancelling any stored codes as this sometimes puts the light out. There are also several other reasons why a sensor could be showing a fault (it is correctly saying that something else is causing incorrect air/fuel ratio) such as leaky EGR valves or vacuum pipes so just have a look around to see if there is anything obvious.

The DTC code will normally indicate the exact sensor that is faulty or at least showing out of range and not the group of sensors. In this case as you stand looking at the engine from in front of the car it is the top one on the drivers side.

Keep in mind they are sensitive devices (read that as fickle) and although you should start there you can often end up changing more than one and some cases even the cat before you can get them to settle down.

Good luck.

My 2003 ford crown Vic pol. Interceptor is turning over but not starting-any ideas ?

It's a 2003-- 13 years old. At this point in your cars life is pretty much when things will appear one at a time. If you are getting a racheting sound when cranking it could be your battery has almost no power to uphold a startup. But it may be something else. My advice is that you perform a continuity test with a Probe Light Tester but this testing time can be lengthy and could possibly consume 2 hours if you are a novice. My second advice to you is that you buy a cheap $35-50. vehicle scanner available at your local Auto Parts Store. This scanner communicates with your cars computer and will read any error codes that may be disturbing to your engine. To learn more about How to test your car for No Start / No Crank-- watch the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5DpsRwHTfo This next video is an OBD Error Code List Page. just click on your specific vehicle and search for the numeric code and click on it. When you click on the error code number the results will come up indicating the hindering malfunction. http://obdii.pro/en/model/ford
