No I didn't, because when the my mechanic checked it with the OBDII, it came up with a different part, but related. He then subsequently called Toyota for their advice and they suggested changing more that just that sensor. I don't know why. I ask him, well what if that doesn't fix it? He said, that if that didn't fix it, then he wasn't doing his job right and he would remedy it. Which I thought was very fair. They only work on Toyota's. All x-stealership mechanics. It only cost $50 buh anyway. One year and 6 mos. later, still hasn't missed a beat.
