Nope. Wrong one. That's for the Temp Gauge. This is the one that supplies info to the ECU and give the fault code.

Genuine Toyota only as far as I know. Before you run out and buy one check the wiring and connectors on the sensor. May be just a loose plug or dirty terminals.If you do fix anything don't forget to clear the fault codes after.

I've got a second hand one if they turn out to be hideously expensive from Toyota.

I know it's an old post, but how do you clear the codes?

[NiftyNev]

Disconnect negative terminal on battery for a minute or two.
