Secondary air injection switching valve.......?

@billybob50 I still haven't seen any additional warranty info for the 2nd gen taco .. only the tundra

 

Doesn't cost anything to ask the dealership or Hewitt, ASK!

 

Well we all know how competent the dealers are .. especially when it comes to asking them about warranty work. They usually don't even know what you're talking about.

 

Thanks for the information billybob. I have to take my truck in anyways for the catalytic converter recall, I will try and ask about the emissions warranty then.

 

now the P2440 and P2442 code come on with my 2012 Tacoma . Just 17k on OBO. I live in Alaska where temp at my city around 5F-15F that is the reason the code came on right? Are there any way to bypass the code with the Plug and Play Kit like Tundra?
Thank you

 

You need to contact, https://www.hewitt-tech.com/store/ most likely the system needs to be working. So when you turn on the engine the air injection pump & valve sends a signal back to the ECM telling it that every things ok. Hewitt by-pass system just keeps it from running. http://car-part.com/ is a great site for looking for used parts. With 17K miles isn't it still under warranty?

 

It's out of bumper to bumper but should still be under the emissions warranty (8 year / 80k miles IIRC).

 

You need to look at your owners manual to make sure, then call the dealership make an appointment to fix it. Right before your warranty runs out, I would install that Hewitt by pass kit.

 

They didn't give an extra emission warranty until after they started failing. It won't be in the manual.

 

This is what I'm seeing when I researched this problem on my truck.

In order to meet the emission standards set by the federal government, the federal government requires that every manufacturer offer a limited warranty emissions control on the vehicles they build. The Federal Emission Warranty covers any repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship which would cause your vehicle not to meet the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. These federal emissions warranties do not cover incidental or consequential damages such as loss of the use of the vehicle, inconvenience or commercial loss. Most components that fall under the federal emissions warranty are covered for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. The catalytic converter, emissions control unit (ECU), and the onboard emissions diagnostic device (OBD) are covered for 8 years or 80,000 miles whichever comes first. For a list of what is and is not covered, refer to your manufacturer’s warranty booklet or your owner’s manual. There are two parts to the emission warranty, There is a Performance Warranty and a Design and Defect Warranty. The performance warranty covers components that are listed under the federal emissions warranty, if the vehicle fails an emissions test. If the vehicle fails a state mandatory emissions test, then the performance warranty will cover the cost of repairing or replacement any component covered as long as it is within the time and mileage limits. According to federal law, the Design and Defect Warranty covers “an emission control or emission related part, or a specified major emission control component, that fails because of a defect in materials or workmanship, must be repaired or replaced by the vehicle manufacturer free of charge as long as the vehicle has not exceeded the warranty time or mileage limitations for the failed part.”1 In order to receive warranty repairs, the vehicle must be taken to an authorized service center. If the repair shop is not authorized to perform repairs then the federal emissions warranty will not cover the cost. Since the federal emission warranty applies for only 2 years or 24,000 miles, for most components, most manufacturers' factory warranties cover the components after the emission warranty expires. Then beyond the expiration of the factory warranty, an extended auto warranty may cover the components depending upon the level of coverage.

 

Ok it's not free for them to repair it. That's what the dealership said, what happen to the 3 years/36 months warranty? Then go to plan B and email Hewitt of the codes and see if he can help you. It's Friday suggest you to contact them or just go ahead and order it, before it goes into the limp mode.

 

So, I cleaned my valves several months back and it actually cleared the code for awhile. The light is now back on in the stuck closed status instead of stuck open status and it has yet to go into limp mode. 2441 code. Not sure why it's acting different.

 

It's just a matter of time. I don't think when your engine catches fire. Due to lack of maintenance, your auto insurance will pay out.

 

The Toyota dealer said they warranty for 36month only. My truck is now 36month +14days and they not cover for the fix :-( .

 

Tomorrow is Saturday go down and park in a public parking space in front of the dealership. Hold a sign up, ask me how I like my Toyota! I'm pretty sure someone will come out and try to help you!

 

They don't know what they are talking about. If you call corporate (I realize you shouldn't have to) they will set you straight. The dealer blurts out bullshit off the top of their head. If you go in there prepared they won't give you the run around usually.

 

Total agree with Large! Squeaky wheel gets all the attention!

 

mine runs a few moments after shut down. I have a 2012 that I bought in Dec of 2011.

 

I wonder if mine works correctly at all then, it never runs after shut down. When yours runs after shutdown does it sound like it does during startup? My fathers 13' sounds just like it does during startup as it does during shutdown and runs after each shut down period for a few seconds.
