Fortuner Uneven Idling Engine Mount

2012 Toyota Fortuner, gasoline engine, 165980km. Error stored, uneven idling. I suspect a defective engine mount, maybe a cable or plug issue. Has anyone seen this before?

Yeah, those symptoms definitely point to a mount failure. Check for excessive engine movement when you rev it a little. Any unusual vibrations at certain RPMs?

Good call. The movement's excessive. Vibration is noticeable at idle and low revs. Do you reckon it's definitely electrical before I start tearing things apart?

Electrical could trigger it, but with that mileage and those symptoms, the mount itself is probably worn or failed. Still, inspect the wiring first to rule it out, but prepare for a mount replacement. I'd recommend getting it checked at a workshop.

Spot on. Wiring was fine. Replaced the mount – cost 95€ – and that sorted it. Thanks for the pointers!
