Toyota 2LTE error codes

Baja Prado · 01-25-08, 12:36 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum. I have a 1991 Toyota Prado 2LTE motor imported from Japan. We've been having trouble starting it when it's cold. We got it scanned and it came up with some error codes but I can't find out what those error codes stand for. The error codes are either 8, 12, and 13 or it's 8.12 and 8.13. Help!

Welcome to Mud! There is a Prado section, but we had the 2LTE in the pickups and 4Runners, so here's as good as anywhere I guess... I don't know about your codes, but here's a thread you might find some help in...

I'll check my manuals when I get home to see if I can decipher those codes...

But when you say it has trouble starting: what does it do? Does it crank and not catch? Does cycling the glow plugs a couple times help the problem? How cold is "cold?"

I have all of the codes, but am attempting to post them... they are in .pdf format which the site does not allow.

I'll see if I can convert the document to something else. Bear with me...

Hope this helps and is legible...

Awesome Max!!

I'm gonna go make a Diesel section in the FAQ and link this!

maximus is the MAN for that! (and also Jay-rod for making a diesel section...)

Printed and a copy is in my glovebox.

Muchas Gracias Amigo!

Here is some more information that I've accumulated. The pictures aren't great because I've had to scale them down to post them but I can email them to you on request:

And some pinout information...

maximus · 02-02-08, 10:15 AM

... and the last of the pinout info.
There seems to be a real lack of information on the 2L-TE here in North America, so I'm trying to collect / share what I can.
