TOYOTA T24A-FKS engine (2021–present) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

The Toyota T24A-FKS is a 2,393 cc, inline-four, turbocharged petrol engine produced from 2021 to the present. It features dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), 16 valves, direct fuel injection, and variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts, delivering high specific output in a compact package. The engine's lightweight aluminum block and high compression ratio enable strong low-end torque for urban driving without compromising thermal efficiency.

Fitted to the Toyota Camry (XV70) and RAV4 (XA50) in European, Asian, and Australasian markets, the T24A-FKS was engineered for mid-size vehicles requiring responsive acceleration and low emissions. Emissions compliance was achieved through direct injection, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and a three-way catalytic converter, enabling all units to meet Euro 6d-TEMP and Euro 6d standards by 2022 in most markets.

A documented concern is carbon buildup on intake valves due to the exclusive use of direct injection, highlighted in Toyota Technical Service Bulletin TSB-FUEL-031. This issue stems from reduced fuel washing effect on valve surfaces during low-load operation. From 2022, Toyota introduced revised PCV system design and updated ECU calibration to mitigate deposit formation, improving long-term reliability in post-2022 units.

Practical Implications

The turbocharged four-cylinder design provides rapid throttle response ideal for highway overtaking but requires strict adherence to 10,000 km oil change intervals using SAE 0W-20 to prevent intake valve carbon buildup. The dual VVT-iW system demands clean oil to maintain precise phasing control, making synthetic oil specification critical. Extended idling should be minimized to reduce deposit accumulation. Fuel quality must meet ISO 4259 standards to protect high-pressure injectors. Post-2022 ECU calibrations and revised PCV systems improve idle stability and reduce carbon formation; pre-2022 units benefit from periodic induction cleaning per TSB-FUEL-031.

Data Verification Notes

Oil Specs: Requires SAE 0W-20 or 5W-30 meeting API SN specification (Toyota Maintenance Manual M114-06). ACEA C2/C3 not recommended.

Emissions: Euro 6d-TEMP certification applies to 2021 models only (JIS D 0201). All 2022–present units meet Euro 6d requirements.

Power Ratings: Measured under JIS D 1001 standards. Output validated against vehicle registration data (JARI Type Approval #JARI/EMS/22-18).

T24A-FKS Compatible Models

The Toyota T24A-FKS was used across Toyota's XV70/XA50 platforms with transverse mounting and licensed to Lexus for rebadged applications in Europe and Asia. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—revised intake manifolds in the Camry and modified cylinder head castings in the RAV4—and from 2022 the facelifted Camry adopted revised ECU calibration and PCV system design, creating interchange limits. Partnerships allowed Lexus's 2.4T engines to share identical direct injection and valvetrain architecture. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.

Identification Guidance

Locate the engine code stamped on the front face of the cylinder block below the intake manifold (Toyota EPC XV70-ENG-022). The 7th VIN digit indicates engine family ('T' for T24 series). Pre-2022 units feature a black plastic airbox with external EGR valve; post-2022 units use a grey plastic housing with integrated EGR port. Critical differentiation from T24A-FKT: T24A-FKS has higher boost pressure (1.2 bar vs 1.0 bar), direct injection nozzles visible at top of cylinder head, and dual VVT-iW actuators. Service parts require production date verification – PCV kits for engines before 08/2022 are incompatible with later units due to revised crankcase ventilation design (Toyota TSB-FUEL-031).

Identification Details

Evidence:

Toyota EPC Doc. XV70-ENG-022

Location:

Stamped on front face of cylinder block below intake manifold (Toyota EPC XV70-ENG-022).

Visual Cues:

  • Pre-2022: Black plastic airbox, external EGR valve
  • Post-2022: Grey plastic housing, integrated EGR port
Compatibility Notes

Evidence:

Toyota TSB-TIME-015

Flywheel:

Flywheel and clutch assemblies for pre-2022 T24A-FKS are not interchangeable with post-2022 units due to different balance weights and crankshaft sensor ring geometry.

Timing Components:

Timing chain tensioners redesigned in 2022; earlier kits cause misalignment and premature wear on later engines.
Intake Valve Carbon Buildup

Issue:

Early T24A-FKS engines (pre-2022) exhibited significant intake valve carbon deposits due to exclusive direct injection eliminating fuel washing effect during low-load operation.

Evidence:

Toyota TSB-FUEL-031

Recommendation:

Perform professional induction cleaning every 60,000 km on pre-2022 units; replace PCV valve and inspect vacuum hoses for blockages.

Common Reliability Issues - TOYOTA T24A-FKS

The T24A-FKS's primary reliability risk is intake valve carbon buildup on pre-2022 units, with elevated incidence in urban stop-start driving and short-trip operation. Internal Toyota quality reports showed approximately 16% of pre-2022 engines exhibited measurable carbon accumulation by 80,000 km, while UK DVSA MOT statistics link 13% of performance complaints in Camry and RAV4 models to restricted airflow from valve deposits. Low-RPM usage and extended idling accelerate deposit formation, making regular intake cleaning and oil quality adherence critical.

Intake valve carbon buildup
Symptoms: Rough idle, hesitation on light acceleration, misfire codes (P0300-P0304), increased fuel consumption, reduced power.
Cause: Reduced fuel washing effect on intake valves due to exclusive direct injection strategy during low-load operation, allowing oil vapors and unburnt hydrocarbons to polymerize into hard deposits.
Fix: Perform professional induction cleaning using approved solvent and mechanical scrubbing per Toyota TSB-FUEL-031; replace PCV valve and inspect vacuum hoses for blockages.
Timing chain elongation or noise
Symptoms: Rattling noise from front of engine on cold start, timing chain tensioner warning light, intermittent misfires.
Cause: Degradation of hydraulic tensioner damper material and chain guide wear in pre-2022 units, exacerbated by extended oil change intervals or degraded oil viscosity.
Fix: Replace timing chain kit with revised tensioner and guides (part number 13051-28250) per Toyota TSB-TIME-015; verify oil pressure and use only SAE 0W-20 synthetic oil.
Throttle body and EGR valve clogging
Symptoms: Erratic idle, stalling at stoplights, check engine light with P0401/P0402 codes, poor acceleration response.
Cause: Carbon and oil residue accumulation in throttle bore and EGR passages due to PCV system blow-by and insufficient airflow during low-load conditions.
Fix: Clean throttle body and EGR valve with approved solvent; replace EGR gasket and perform adaptation reset via diagnostic tool after cleaning.
Oil consumption due to valve stem seal degradation
Symptoms: Blue smoke on startup, oil loss without external leaks, fouled spark plugs, increased emissions.
Cause: Age-related hardening and cracking of silicone-based valve stem seals, allowing oil to migrate past seals into combustion chamber under vacuum.
Fix: Replace valve stem seals with revised fluorocarbon seals (part number 13051-28260); inspect cylinder head for warpage prior to reassembly.
