P0215

Engine Shutoff Solenoid Malfunction

DTC P0215, sometimes indicated as P021500 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the air/fuel mixture causing engine shutoff solenoid malfunction.

The engine shutoff solenoid valve is responsible for shutting off the fuel supply to the engine. If this valve malfunctions, the engine will not be able to start.
There are several possible causes of this problem. The most common are a dirty or clogged solenoid valve, a defective solenoid valve, or a faulty wiring harness.
The best way to troubleshoot this problem is to start by checking the solenoid valve for dirt or debris. If the valve is clean, then the next step is to test the solenoid for proper operation. If the solenoid is defective, then the next step is to replace the valve. If the wiring harness is faulty, then the wiring must be repaired or replaced.

2008 TOYOTA YARIS with 12465.0 miles

My abs and brake warning lights came on at the same time on my 2008 Yaris sedan. The manual states to contact the dealer immediately in this situation. The abs is disabled in this situation. The problem was a left rear wheel speed sensor shorted (code P0215). Due to excessive corrosion on the connection the wiring harness was also replaced. The replaced parts were 89544-02070 (sensor, skid control) and 89516-52100 (wire, skid control). The car was less than a year old with 12,465 miles at the time. The amount of corrosion on the sensor and connecting wires on the Yaris point to a potential design issue. A car that is less than a year old should not have these issues.

2007 TOYOTA YARIS with 44500.0 miles

My abs and brake warning lights came on at the same time on my 2007 Yaris sedan. The manual states to contact the dealer immediately in this situation. The abs is disabled in this situation. The problem was a left rear wheel speed sensor shorted (code P0215). Due to excessive corrosion on the connection the wiring harness was also replaced. The replaced parts were 89544-02070 (sensor, skid control) and 89516-52100 (wire, skid control). The amount of corrosion on the sensor and connecting wires on the Yaris point to a potential design issue. As it turns out this is a common problem on 2007 and 2008 Yaris's. Toyota has issued a tbs, thus they are aware of the problem. The problem appears to develop when the cars are driven in winter conditions..I.E. Snow...As was the case with mine Yaris. Other owners have had abs systems operate improperly as a result and experienced braking problems.
