I suppose that could work. How does Toyota not keep track of this stuff?

Did you ever get your car fixed?

Dealer has worked on my car a few times to fix the p000b code. I had the same issue. full NA bolt-ons with tune. I reverted back to stock with base tune and the code came back on.. they have currently had my car for a week trying to fix. :-P

Yes but you're not gonna like it... dealers story was that I spun a bearing which contaminated the oil which plugged the cam control valves, which locked in a "low oil pressure" alarm in to the ecu. Fix: new short block, all cam sprockets/actuators and control valves replaced, new ecu. I'm not sure if the bearing spun first or a valve went bad and starved a bearing. Total time for repair 5 weeks with a regional technician being called in from Kansas city for 2 weeks.

For reference, I had a thread going about cam timing. Same issues, but I had no CEL.

I went ahead with replacement of all 4 cam actuators. Turns out, 3 of the 4 were broken, but not "enough" to throw a cell.

Likely, either your cam sprocket spring has broken and/or an internal lock/pin is broken.

Is yours a 2013? This issue seems to happen most commonly in the 2013. Subaru/Toyota released a revised part number in 2014.

They're saying somehow magically the metal particles made it past your oil filter yet were big enough to jam your VVT mechanism?

The only way I could see it working that way is if the oil traveled past the crank to the cam actuators, then the filter. It was covered under warranty so it doesn't matter to me I suppose.

Mine was a 2013

Yeah, but it doesn't work that way. Fresh oil washes through the journals and drips straight to the pan. Glad it was warrantied but it was chickenshit of them to feed you a line like that.

Once I heard a bad cam valve would starve the crank I pretty well figured that was what happened and they were idiots/liars. It did take them 5 weeks to fix it after all...
