Fault Code P000B, before I got to the dealer - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

TURBObro10 · 11-06-2016, 05:58 PM

My car suddenly threw a CEL and the Traction control light while cruising yesterday. Ran the CEL and came back with P000B, which seems it could be camshaft position sensor related or possibly something to do with the AVCS? The car is a 2015 BRZ with 11K kms, JDL UEL, Drop in filter, and currently running the OFT Stage 2 tune. Should I try to reflash the tune or clear the code and see if it comes back? Or if I take it to the dealer, should I reinstall the stock manifold and flash back to the stock tune, for warranty purposes. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'd suggest you clear the code and see if it comes back ....... maybe the engine just hic-cupped ........

Sort of a catch 22 when throwing a code on a modded/tuned car and then converting back to try to find what is wrong since if the mod/tune was part of what was wrong there will be nothing to find. I would try clearing it and see if it came back. The cam sensor was a fairly common item with the 13s but I don't recall seeing a whole lot of later cars having it pop up.

I've been having P000C go on and off on a stock '15 with 23k miles. Same symptoms, CEL+TC until I turn car off then CEL only for another couple drive cycles. Haven't had a chance to deal with it yet, though and seems relatively minor aside from the annoying limp mode it's in while TC light is on.
