Po171 means the air fuel ratio is lean (not enough fuel) so you must check for anything that can do that a good example would be a vacuum leak that allows non metered air to enter the engine (more air same amount of fuel = lean mixture) or a clogged injector (same amount of air less fuel = lean mixture as well)

When the fuel trim is high teens or in the 20s then its the MAF that the problem. If fuel trim is normal, 2-5 then its the O2 sensor.

MAF-
Buy "Electrickleen" at the parts store.
Remove the MAF sensor, WHILE COLD, and blast the wire inside with cleaner.
The "hotwire" gets gummed up and changes the resistance of the wire so you get a bad input to the ecu and it trys to lean out for a rich condition that doesnt exsist.When it cant adjust anymore it trips the po171 code.

SOURCE: Code P0741 for the diagnostic for Toyota Corolla

This is a torque converter clutch solenoid code internal to the transmission. the computer has detected a fault in the operation of the solenoid. It will need to be diagnosed by a trained technician and may very likely require internal trans repairs.

SOURCE: what is P2716 code for a 2006 Toyota Corolla mean?

There is currently a recall going on for this problem. You can likely get your money back on the prior repairs as well. See this link http://www.toyota.com/recall/corolla-matrix.html. On the left-hand side, you can click to take you to put in your VIN and see if your vehicle is included. My 2007 vehicle IS included, and I just had the check engine light come on and have been experiencing rough shifting for about 6 months. When the light came on yesterday, it was extremely rough jerky shifting. The light went off today. Took it to Autozone and got same code P2716. Toyota has assigned me a case number, but I won't get a call back until Monday or by close of biz on Tuesday. This problem can cause your car to not start, or to shut down while driving. YIKES! The person I talked to at Toyota acted a little too nonchalant about the whole deal. Telling me to just wait for the call that I will get. She said most dealers would not have the part needed to fix this. According to what I have read. That is the reason why Toyota is not sending out the notification letters to the affected parties until mid-September. Check out all the info and good luck. I am a little bit p.o'd about this right now. - Natalie

Toyota Corolla Code P0171 Check Engine light

Code P0171 on Toyota Corolla Q: What could cause the code P0171 on 2002 Toyota Corolla? A: The code P0171 reads "System Too Lean (Bank 1)". This means that the air-fuel mixture coming in to the engine is too lean, or there is too much air and too little fuel. This could be caused by a number of reasons, such as bad airflow sensor, vacuum leaks, low fuel pressure, clogged fuel injectors, etc. To know exactly what caused the problem, your mechanic can do a few tests.
From my experience, the airflow sensor problems are fairly common; sometimes the sensor just gets dirty and gives false air flow readings causing lean condition. Again, your mechanic can test it.
If the airflow sensor is causing the lean condition, it will need to be replaced. If the sensor is just dirty, your mechanic may suggest to clean it (cleaning the airflow sensor is very delicate procedure) as a temporary solution - sometimes this could work.

Either the mass-air sensor is bad, which normally throws a mass-air voltage code, or you definitely have an air leak post the mass-air. Smoke the intake manifold with a smoke machine or spray the whole intake to head, including to brake booster with brake cleaner and listen for a change in idle. Focus on the gasket surface of the intake manifold.
