Tundra Charge Air Temperature Sensor Error

I've got a 2022 Toyota Tundra hybrid with about 171598 km on the clock. Recently, the check engine light came on, and I've noticed reduced engine power along with a whistling noise and a loud hissing when accelerating. I pulled the codes and it's showing a charge air temperature sensor error. I suspect a bad connection because I noticed some temperature fluctuation with the air intake. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Charge air temperature sensor error, huh? Could be a defective cable or plug connection. Have you checked the wiring and connector to the sensor itself?

Yeah, I visually inspected them, but is there a specific way to properly test the cable and connector to rule them out?

The error code and symptoms strongly point to that defective cable or plug connection. Given the potential complexity, you might consider a workshop. They could pinpoint it quickly.

Thanks for the advice. It turned out to be a corroded connector on the charge air temperature sensor. Replaced it for 95€ and the problem is solved.
