p000d CEL+Innovate supercharger
Well as the title states my car has decided that it would like to start giving me the p000d CEL+slip light (slow cam response) that has haunted so many of our cars. My problem is that since I have an after market supercharger installed I am fairly certain my dealership will not cover the repair under warranty. Even though in my opinion I feel as it should be. What are everyone's thoughts on the actions that I should take? I have not taken the car to the dealer yet for fear that they will just laugh at me when the pop the hood.

Chances are the issue is not related to the supercharger install at all, but the dealership may just try to use it against you.

That is what I am thinking but that is such a pain. Especially since this is a known issue with this car unrelated to the supercharger..

You could try flauting this list
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15577 It really depends on your dealership... but if they deny it while the supercharger is on there, you might be paying for it out of pocket

They will absolutely, and completely rightfully, not cover your car under warranty. In this case, just because the vehicle has a penchant for throwing these codes doesn't mean that your supercharger install didn't cause them to be thrown on your car. It is a perfectly reasonable conclusion that your supercharger caused the problem and there's nothing that can be done to prove otherwise. Especially since there's not even any conclusion on what causes this problem to begin with.
If you want any hope of getting it covered, take off the SC. What's up with having this problem a month ago before your supercharger was installed though? Did you already take it in once a month ago and get it fixed once? Or did you install a supercharger on an engine that was already intermittently throwing codes? |

It was throwing a different code before. They cleared the code and said they were not going to do anything because it didn't come back drove the car for two weeks no more codes installed the blower and it had no problem for a few weeks now it is giving me the p000d code.

My honest answer is that if you had the money to supercharge it and throw away your engine warranty, then you need to either have the skills to fix this problem without the dealership, or suck it up and pay any costs to have it fixed. It doesn't hurt to take it to the dealer and see what they say though.

I would fix it myself but there is no clear path to a direct fix. If someone has a you replace x part and it will fix it I would do that but no its basically a throw parts at it until one of them fixes it. Which can result in 2k worth of parts for troubleshooting it. Also I have not been able to find a direct copy of the Toyota the tech bulletin for the fix. I would have no problem paying to have it fixed if it was my negaligance that caused it. This is a very common issue for this car and it is from faulty parts from the manufacturer.

Read the forum members experience with this issue in the warranty section (be it cam sprocket replacement, oil screen replacement etc...) and how they fixed the issue and ask that specific part that finally fixed it to be changed if its in your dime.
