P204E Toyota Echo Diagnostic Trouble Code
P204E Toyota Echo code definition:
P204E is a kind of OBD-II Diagnostic P-Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code for Toyota Echo.
P204E Toyota Echo shows up when there's an electrical problem that causes the fuel volume regulator to malfunction and open. It's quite an unusual problem and likely intermittent. The spark should have a light tan color. If the sensor probe comes with white and chalky parts, this means it has been lagging between switching phases, and should be replaced.
Symptoms
Symptoms of a P204E Toyota Echo diagnostic trouble code may include:
- The light may stay on or light intermittently as the DPF regenerates. The engine will be sluggish on acceleration.
- Faulty PCM
- If the DPF is not cleared the ECU will revert to the "Limp Home Mode" until the situation is corrected
- The engine oil will exhibit dilution from the ECUs attempts to increase engine temperature. Some vehicles advance the fuel injection timing slightly after top center to afterburn a small amount of fuel to increase exhaust temperatures. Some of this fuel enters the crankcase. When the ECU determines the necessity to regenerate the DPF, the service life of the oil be shortened significantly
|
Possible Causes :
- Defective ECU strategies or components will prevent proper regeneration
- The Mass Airflow sensor is a hot wire that senses the volume of air entering the intake manifold. The computer uses this information to control fuel mixture.
- An air leak forward of the DPF will change the sensor readings resulting in the code

Common Misdiagnoses
- Exhaust Gas Recirculation System Valve 1 Problem
- BBV Sensor Circuit Low Voltage Problem
- Transmission Engaged At High Throttle Angle Problem
- Cruise Inhibit Control Circuit Problem
- TFP Valve Position Switch-Drive Without Drive Ratio Problem
Repair Processes :
Look for missing ground strap or a rusty ground where the fuel tank is grounded to the frame. Check for damage to the wiring harness connector.
Now, clear the codes and test-drive the vehicle to see if the code is reset.
