Ok good. Check engine did not light up for me for that. But I did have a bad seal where the end of the piping and cat meet the second exhaust pipe that takes the exhaust to the back to the muffler is bolted. That seal was leaking exhaust, and taking in air, and the sensor that is there was not getting the proper reading so it gave me a check engine. Cost me only just a few dollars for that seal and new bolts. While at it, I had all those seals and bolts changed. Check engine light was then gone.
Toyota wanted to change the manifod, and the sensor and change exhaust pipe because of my CEL.
When the Check Engine throws a code....it is not always saying, "hey i'm a bad sensor, change me, and everything will be better" Sometimes it is just saying " hey I'm a sensor, and I'm not sensing what I should be sensing, adjustment needed" in other words, the sensor is doing what it is suppossed to be doing.
