If you didn't disconnect the negative terminal when you installed the intake that can throw a CEL. Un-hook the negative terminal for a while, it will reset your ECU.

No need to knock the K&N intake guys!

not knocking the company, just saying that it seems like with the imports they do not put the priority on the R&D like they do for the domestics. K&N makes a hell of a good product.

CAI's on these cars are such a waste of money. There is nothing to gain and everything to lose.

Same thing happened on my yaris but with a fujita. Took it to the dealer twice and they replaced my maf. still continued to do it so I removed it and sold it. Went back to stock now and I've had no more cels.Good Luck.

Creeper-
No I did not disconnect the battery. I will try that tonight.

MUSKOKA800-
It is advertised as being for the 2009 Yaris and when I talked to their techs, none mentioned that it was not designed for it.

Update (if you are interested)
Yesterday, the light was not on. So, I thought all was good amd K&N knew what they were talking about. Until this morning, driving to work, it came on after I gave it a little more gas then usual. Also, the car (AT) started idling really rough (again) in gear with the brake on, like it might stall, but idles nromally if in neutral.

I disconnected the battery, negative side, for 45 minutes last night. Test drove and everthing seemed fine, but this morning on the way to work the check engine light came on again, after the engine warmed up. I guess this weekend I will do a re-install on the CAI and hope. The CEL was a P0171. Maybe the sensor has some oil on it from the filter, but I did not add any oil, just installed it straight from the packaging.

Is it possible you might have damaged the Mass Airflow Sensor? Or could it be attached wrong?

I will check MAS, but if I remember correctly it can only be installed one way.

Yeah I put the Typhoon in my '08. It runs great but got the CEL with a P0101 code for MAF/VAF circuit range performance fault. Going to call K&N tomorrow.
