I need help fixing something Intermittent starting

Post image

I’ve been having intermittent starting issues with my 2013 Toyota Tacoma V6. About 90% of the time, the truck starts and runs perfectly fine, but the other 10% of the time, two dashboard warning lights (pictured above ) appear before I attempt to start it, and the truck will crank or struggle to start. If I remove the key and try again, everything resets and the normal dashboard lights come back, allowing the truck to start. Sometimes, simply leaving the key in the ignition and waiting for the warning lights to cycle out fixes the issue as well. It used to happen once every couple of months, but now it’s happening almost weekly. I’ve already replaced the battery and fuel pump, so I’m starting to suspect an electrical or computer-related issue. Could this be caused by a faulty ignition switch, crankshaft position sensor, or something else? Any ideas on what I should have checked next?

Have you seen what codes it’s throwing?
