The 2020 Toyota 86, manufactured by Subaru Corporation, offers a sporty driving experience with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine producing up to 205 hp. This 4-seater coupe comes standard with features like Dynamic Brake Support, ABS, traction control, and a backup camera. It includes advanced safety features such as side and curtain airbags in the first row and a direct TPMS. Priced at $29,835, it's available in trims like the 86 GT and 86 Hakone Edition.
Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction
The Dynamic Brake Support system may experience issues such as sensor malfunctions, software glitches, or calibration errors. This can result in the system not engaging properly during emergency braking situations.
Engine brake inefficiency
The engine brake may not provide the expected deceleration force, which can be due to issues like exhaust valve problems, vacuum leaks, or control module faults.
Engine misfires
Common in 4-cylinder engines, misfires can be caused by problems such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors, or issues with the engine control unit (ECU).
Oil leaks
Naturally aspirated engines can develop oil leaks over time, which may originate from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, or other engine seals.
Overheating
The engine may overheat due to cooling system failures, such as a malfunctioning thermostat, radiator problems, or a failing water pump.
Check engine light (cel)
The CEL can be triggered by a range of issues, from minor sensor faults to more serious engine component failures, requiring diagnostic scans to identify the root cause.
Exhaust system issues
Problems with the exhaust system, such as catalytic converter failure, exhaust manifold leaks, or muffler issues, can affect engine performance and emissions.
Fuel efficiency drop
If the vehicle experiences a noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency, it could be due to clogged air filters, dirty fuel injectors, or issues with the fuel delivery system.
Timing chain/belt wear
Over time, the timing chain or belt may wear out or stretch, leading to poor engine performance, misfires, or even engine damage if not addressed promptly.
Transmission-related problems
Although not directly related to the engine, the transmission can affect engine performance, especially if there are issues with the automatic transmission (AT) or manual transmission (MT) clutch and gear systems.
