Need help with codes 300, 301, 306 and 171

We received a check engine light and used our code reader to see 300, 301, 306, and 171. We replaced all the coils, cleaned the MAF and throttle body and idle air control valve....still has a check engine light and getting the same codes. Any suggestions?

Well code 300 is a random miss, 301 is for cylinder 1 and 306 is for cylinder 6. Code 171 is saying the fuel mixture on bank one is too lean. And that could cause the other codes.
Have you checked fuel pressure and the filter ?

SOURCE: check engine light fault code PO505

This code is for your electronic throttle control system it probably needs to be cleaned the butter fly sticks due to build up in side the throttle body clean with tooth brush and emission save throttle body cleaner clear codes and then dissconnect the battery for 3 hours hook back up then go for a short drive stop and go to reset idle control that should take care of this.

SOURCE: My check engine light is on and I received code

Not sure where you got that definition for that code but this is what it is and means with possible causes for whichever motor you have:

Trouble Code: P1135 (2.4L L4 VIN - Auto)
A/F Sensor-11 (Bank 1 Sensor 1) Heater Circuit Malfunction Print this code dataprint_icon_codes.gif
Number of Trips to Set Code: 2
OBD II Monitor Type: CCM Details
Indicators: MIL Details

Trouble Code Conditions:
Engine started, engine running, and the PCM detected the A/F Sensor-11 (A/FS-11) heater current was less than 0.25A, or that it was more than 8.0A at anytime during the CCM test.

Possible Causes:
  • A/F sensor heater circuit or ground circuit is open
  • A/F sensor heater power circuit is open
  • A/F sensor heater is damaged or has failed
  • PCM has failed

SOURCE: on a 04 camry with 2.4 ltr engine, can I replace

I think the terms "Throttle Positon Sensor", TPS and "Throttle Body" can be misleading at least in regards to the 04 Camry.

My 04 Camry gave a diagnostic reading of P2121 for my problem "Throttle PEDAL position switch D circuit". However, we changed out the complete Throttle Body/TPS (Toyota Part #22030-0H020) that did NOT fix problem.

The 04 Camry TPS Electronic Module "Throttle Positon Sensor" is factory assembled and riveted to the side of the throttle body. The only way to service/inspect it would be to cut off or drill out the rivets. Not sure you could open the darn thing if you got it off, but that seems to be the only way Toyota sells them!!

Hopefully a new Throttle PEDAL Position Sensor (Toyota Part # 78010-33010 PEDAL ASSY, ACC)
will fix it. This is located under the dash near the accelerator pedal.

So, now I would recommend FIRST to replace the "Throttle PEDAL Positon Sensor" (it is much, much cheaper) and then the Throttle Body/TPS assembly!! Unless of course, you get a diagnostic code as you did for "faulty throttle body!!

SOURCE: I have a 2004 Toyota Corolla and my check engine

P0505 is correct, but replacing the IAC won't help if the PCM cannot control and/or monitor the operation

you need to measure voltage at the IAC and/or the signal return to the PCM

Code P0793 in 2008 Toyota Camry

It is not safe to assume that replacing the intermediate shaft sensor will fix the issue, as the check engine light can be caused by a wide variety of problems. It is best to use a code reader to retrieve the specific diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that is causing the check engine light to come on. This code will give you a better idea of what the problem is and what parts may need to be replaced. You can then use this information to determine the best course of action for repairing the vehicle.

Go to your local auto parts store and request to use their code reader. You can use the reader to clear existing codes and check for any new ones.

Check engine soon light on

Yes, but you will need a code reader (also called a scan tool) to get the code from the computer. Do not remove the cables from the battery until you check the codes because on many vehicles (and almost all vehicles before 2008) this will reset the check engine light. You can go to an Auto Zone store and they will check your codes for free, or you can purchase a code reader online (you can find many on Amazon--see the link at the end of this post). Be advised that cheaper readers won't capture all codes or will often deliver a generic code that is not intuitive. Auto Zone uses a cheaper reader so your result may not be optimal. The alternative is to go to a reputable repair shop or dealer where they use the more expensive Actron or similar readers to get a more accurate result, but of course they will charge you for the service. One common reason for a check engine light is a loose gas cap because the computer picks upa drop in fuel line pressure. Best of luck! Code Readers and Scan Tools

Need to reset the check engine light

This is for the 16 pin diag
With obd-2 or home made code reader retrieve codes. After each code press and hold the button on the tester for 6-8 sec. then retrieve next code. After code is received press and hold for 6-8 seconds. Continue until code reader flashes only 1 time. Do this for slot 3, 8 and 14. Once all sections return a single flash code indicating no malfunction, turn ignition off. Next time you start the vehicle the light should be off. If still on, check for codes! If new codes perform repairs!

Check engine light came on 05 altima

If you are a DIY'er you can get a OBDII scan tool that connects to your laptop that can tell you the error code and allow you to reset your check engine light. This will save you $80 each time over going to a mechanic for a diagnostic. They are easy to use and will help you know what the issues are if you do have to go to a mechanic.

Sometime the check engine light comes on if you did not fit your gas cap tight enough. You need a code reader to find out the error code to help solve your problem.

If it is something simple (like a gas cap) and you do not want to get a code reader to find out what codes (problems) your vehicle computer is saying there is. You can try disconnecting the negative battery lead for 5 minutes. This should reset your check engine light. If the light comes back on, you have a problem and can take it to a mechanic or buy yourself a code reader.
