A couple of weeks ago my 01 tacoma engine light came on. Stayed on and then went back off before the day was over. Now it has came on again. Got a code reading of P1135. I called a toyota service dept. to find out what it was and the price for fixing it. They said it would be the Bank 1, Sensor 1, air flow sensor. Without labor, the price of the sensor would be 235.00 dollars. Labor would be 85.00. So I would be looking at 320.00 total. I then called another toyota service dept. and told them the code. I was told that it was probably the 02 sensor and could get it fixed for around 250.00 or 275.00 total. There's a bit of difference here and apparently a difference in an OXYGEN SENSOR and a AIR SENSOR.
I'm asking advice on this from ya'll. Getting told 2 different stories and the price does matter to me. Realizing that labor alone costs an arm and a leg at toyota service, I would like to get this fixed elsewhere and buy the part for the mechanic to fix it. How do I even know what part to buy now that I'm getting 2 different stories ?
Any good advice is appreciated. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
