Hi all. I own Toyota corolla auto 2006 sedan (used). Couple of weeks ago, check engine light came on. Took it to my local mechanic scanned the code. It read P0335, cam shaft and crank shaft sensors. My mechanic replaced both sensors, drove the car for few more days, light came back, he re-scanned it still showed P0335. He checked it thoroughly and said there is nothing wrong with parts from inside. And I still has check engine light on. Could anyone please advice me what to do? Should I keep driving ignoring the light or take it dealer? Thanks in advance.

P.S. Car drives absolutely fine, never stalled or had trouble starting.

Cheers

Never ignore a check engine light. Have something done about it and if need be a dealer. There could be an issue with the wiring harness or the sensor is not reading the trigger wheel as it is spinning.

Hi Trentmeyer23. Thanks for your reply. My mechanic had a thorough look at timing chain, and everything else related he couldn't find anything wrong with it. And car driver absolutely fine (no change in engine noise). I have already spent around a grand in diagnosing and replacing sensors. I am not sure how much dealership would cost and I don't want to spend more than what my car is worth at the moment.

Exactly. Check engine light came on in our 04 Corolla about a year ago.Ignored it as car was running fine.Light is still on. I am not advocating the check engine light should be ignored but in our case the car seems fine.

If it is diagnosed correctly, there should be no reason to unnecessarily replace sensors. This is the difference between a good and bad mechanic. Throwing parts at it until it is fixed is not the way to go.

Ignoring a check-engine light just because the car "seems fine" is a recipe for disaster. Either something is wrong and you're ignoring it (letting it possibly get worse), or because the CEL is always on you won't notice anything different when something DOES go wrong in the future until it is too late.

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Having read some of the replies, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a minor remap. Toyota in their wisdom have the software in the ECU such that it cannot be downloaded, modified and reloaded. It has to be a complete reload, either stock or modified. All you fellows disconnecting the battery is a good and simple way to try and reset everything but similar results can be achieved by simply disconnecting the ECU. That's the big plug in the firewall passenger side. Meanwhile I may need to start a new topic for the following issues I am experiencing: Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info. Bit the bullet and replaced all 4 with new slotted rotors and pads from DBA. Huge difference in braking. However the shudder has return almost with a vengeance. Thought I fixed the problem when I disconnected the ECU for another unrelated issue. ECU is remapped, car went in limp mode and could not clear it with the scangauge. Problem not fixed and I am lost as to why this is happening. Plan on visiting Berima Diesel later on this year to have the injectors checked and I'll get them to look at the brakes if I still haven't figured it out. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt.

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm? 192.168.100.1 192.168.1.1
