Product Overview

WORKSHOP NOTICEECU Calibration / IMA Coding Required

This injector requires 6-8 digit calibration code programming (IMA / QR code) into the vehicle ECU (using Bosch KTS, Lexia/Diagbox or equivalent diagnostic equipment) following replacement to balance cylinder fuel delivery and prevent DTC P0300 misfire codes.

The Denso 23209-31090 (superseding part number 23209-0P040, interchangeable with 23209-31070, Toyota production stamping 23250-31090, and aftermarket references FJ746 and 842-12328) is the genuine original equipment 12-hole multi-port fuel injector engineered for Toyota's acclaimed 3.5-liter 2GR-FE V6 engine family. Delivering 295 cc/min of precisely calibrated fuel flow through a 12-micro-hole atomization plate at 3.0 bar, this injector powers tens of millions of prominent vehicles including the Toyota Camry V6 (2007-2017), Highlander 3.5L (2008-2016), Sienna minivan (2007-2016), RAV4 V6 (2006-2012), Avalon (2005-2018), and Lexus RX350 and ES350 (2007-2018).

Before You Order

Always verify the original manufacturer reference stamped on your component before ordering. For 23209-31090, inspect matching OE cross-references and ensure related high-pressure seals, followers, or grommets are renewed during service.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes & Fault Protocols

Common diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) triggered when this common rail injector experiences wear, circuit faults, or calibration drift:

P0087Critical

Fuel Rail / System Pressure Too Low

Excessive internal backleak from worn control valve seats drops common rail pressure below target under engine load.

P0201 - P0208High

Injector Circuit Malfunction / Open Circuit

Solenoid coil resistance drift (0.2-0.5 Ω) or piezo stack degradation triggers driver stage shutdown on affected cylinders.

P0300 / P0301+High

Cylinder Misfire & Balancing Deviation

Carbon-clogged nozzle spray holes or missing IMA calibration causes uneven cylinder contribution. Recode ECM and verify washer seating.

P0088High

Fuel Rail / System Pressure Too High

Spill line backpressure or stuck metering valve prevents rail depressurization, creating overpressure risks under load.
