Hi all
Was researching into 200 series problems and the dreaded limp mode problem came up. I have referenced some threads and another website to illustrate the problem. Any update on a solution would be greatly appreciated.
So basically if I understand, on rare occasions some 200 series (varying model years nothing I could narrow down) get into Limp Mode - a combination of VSCtrac and VSC off lights, Malfunction, etc. I read on a couple of other threads and some of the problems were
1) battery related (2017): Limp mode advice -'17 LC
2) Evap cannister related (last post on this thread on 2013): 2019 200 LC Check Engine and Limp Mode this morning
3) Rodents chewing knock sensors and other wirings (if I'm right on a 2020 LandCruiser): 2019 200 LC Check Engine and Limp Mode this morning
4) Blown Transmission in this case (years vary if I'm not mistaken but mostly 2016 some early ones as well): 2017 Land Cruiser - Transmission Needs Replaced
5) In this case APPS, TPS( Thottle Position Sensor/Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor problems ) replaced (2009- 2011 model but didn't follow up) : Another Limp mode thread HELP!
Reading upon this I came across this Australian Website: Toyota LandCruiser 2016:
Summarizing: Limp mode came on and put occupants in distressing predicament but someone commented that there are three common issues that they think cause this
1) faulty stepper motor associated with throttle body
2) faluly EGR valve
3) faulty accelerator pedal elecronics
I tried to be as comprehensive in my research as possible but this is not a complete list. However can experienced users please comment on the stepper motor, EGR valve and accelerator pedal issues along with APPS & TPS replacements. I think there is a trend here. Thank you for patiently reading through this and any response is appreciated. Just trying to compile for people who experience this in the future while I miss my 100 (in the garage with broken brake lines ) Thanks in advance!
