Started up my 2022 Tacoma OR with 30,000 miles and immediately got a check engine light and trac off light. Thought I could limp it home (just a mile, slightly uphill), but as soon as I hit the gas, I noticed it had almost no power. Couldn’t even make it up a small hill, so I had to turn around.
Going back downhill, I tried giving it more gas, which triggered a bunch of alerts, flashing lights, and then the truck just shut off. Coasted into a parking lot and had it towed to the dealer. Hoping they cover it under warranty.
Pulled the codes while waiting for the tow truck. Seems like the truck went into some kind of “safe mode” to prevent damage.
I read that this could be a fuel system issue, but it doesn’t make sense for a well-maintained truck with such low mileage.
Anyone else run into this? Trying to get some insight before I talk to the dealership tomorrow. This really ruined my Sunday.
P0087 is for low fuel pressure. The other three are just side effects—lean codes and a random misfire. Based on that, I’d guess fuel pump failure or you’re out of gas.

Been dealing with this since August. Replaced the fuel pump, driver motor, purge canister, purge valve, throttle body, and cleaned the MAF sensor. Almost back to normal now.
Had the recall fuel pump done, but then needed another pump in August. Ended up being a cracked hard plastic gas line.
Yeah, every time my fuel pump failed, the truck wouldn’t die while driving—it just wouldn’t start again after stopping. Always happened when I left a store or something.
Bit of a long shot, but check your engine wiring for rodent damage.
My brother’s 2016 Tacoma started throwing random codes and went into limp mode—turns out a squirrel had chewed through a bunch of wires. Worth taking a look.
Most likely an issue with the low-pressure (in-tank) fuel pump. Either the pump itself—which isn’t common on newer models—or maybe a wiring or control unit problem.
