The codes for the air switching valve.
'takata recall' secondary air injection pump secondary air switching valves limp mode don't go over 40 crude controls doesn't work
Check engine light with trac off light comes on. no power. air idol control valve stuck open.
At less then 50k miles on the odometer and 900 miles from home my truck decided to get a check engine light and trac off light caused by codes p2440 and p2442 and p2445. merry christmas to me. these codes put me into limp mode while on the freeway in snowy and icy conditions. i could not maintain speed with the flow of traffic as i was trying to get to the shoulder with traffic zooming all around me, dangerous and scary! toyota wants $2000 to repair it. internet research has shown me that it is a common problem that toyota fails to recognize for tacomas but has issued a tsb and extended warranties for tundras. shame on toyota. now i get to endure the cost of repair after the holiday seasons and i'm sure my boss will love to hear i wont be returning to work on time.
Almost lost control of vehicle when the trucks performance jumped into limp mode "trac off" as i was driving. loss of speed and performance caused me to be a driving hazard. 2 vendors today found the codes p2440 and p2442, which appear to have triggered my truck into "trac off" and "check engine" light on. mode causes my truck to only drive about 45 significantly impacts performance and dangerous to drive. this is a safety hazard,i had no warning that the loss of performance was going to happen initially when i was traveling.there is another problem that appears to be on a larger scale.i have briefly scanned the internet in the last hour and spoke with various vendors about the problem & i have called my dealership & even the main toyota line and everyone is aware of the issue. the codes are p2440 & p2442. after finding out the codes i looked at the air injection pump & i was astonished to see that the pump was completely full of what, like someone literally took a waterhose & filled it up. logically, this is why the air injection switching valves 1 and 2 are both stuck ...
Secondary air control valve failure in the open position
I was pulling out on to the highway and my truck failed to exceed 30 mph with oncoming traffic which nearly caused an accident. upon inspection by my toyota dealership, they explained that my secondary air injection valves were stuck open (p2440, p2442) which caused the truck to lose all power. i was then told that since i am no longer under warranty (my truck is only 5 years old with 48,000 miles on it) that toyota would not cover the 2,000 dollar cost to have the part replaced. upon further research, countless others were having the same issue. the toyota tundra also had this issue and an extended warranty was offered for those vehicles. since toyota knows this is an issue it is my belief that they should stand by their product and fix the defective part which is a huge safety issue as i found out. furthermore, there is no reason this emissions part should ever shut down the power to the truck while driving. thank you for your time.
Secondary air injection system failure caused my vehicle to enter limp mode in a high speed/high traffic area. "limp mode" renders the vehicle incapable of speeds higher than 30 mph. causing a hazard to other motorists, i exited the highway as quickly as possible. upon researching the topic i can plainly see this is something that is quite common with my particular vehicle. however, other models made by the same manufacturer are being recalled and repaired while the model i own is not. in addition to model, the year of my vehicle seems to be experiencing an unusually high volume of failures. filing a complaint here is only appropriate and appropriately, the automotive maker should be held responsible.
Driving at high way speed; the abs light, parking brake light, traction light, lost power to windows, a/c, radio, power steering, engine was running rough, then the check engine light came on. could be a safety issue of control of vehicle for drivers not paying attention. toyota dealer said the root cause was a bad cell in battery that caused the ign#2 fuse to be blown. these batteries have known issues to be bad from the factory. reported earlier about 30000 miles the factory battery would not start vehicle and dealer said they replaced because of a bad cell. i own a 2008 toyota tacoma also , same model and make as being reported and that battery has been replaced 2 times for same reason.
P2442 toyota secondary air injection system switching valve stuck open bank 2 i have got this code three times now and the secondary air injection pump and valves will have to be replaced. there is 33,282 miles on the truck right now. many, many, many complaints online about this issue but toyota is ignoring it. $1900 fix is very steep for a truck with 33k miles.
Vehicle was in motion on rainy, wet highway when check engine light went on and traction control was shut off. the secondary air injection switching valve is apparently stuck closed, which for some reason shuts off the traction control. it is my understanding from speaking with other tacoma and tundra owners that had the valves gotten stuck open, the vehicle goes into "limp mode" which automatically decreases speed to 20mph. obviously, either of these occurrences are particularly unsafe in rainy and wet conditions, and the decrease in speed is unsafe during any highway traveling. this is apparently a big enough issue on the tundra models for toyota to extend the warranty to 150,000mi, yet they have done nothing for the tacomas which have an identical system and parts.
Secondary air injection pump. receiving p2442 code and truck is going in to limp mode
P2442
Error 2440/2442 came up a few days ago when starting the truck to go to work(cool morning) - secondary air injection system switching valve stuck open bank 1/2. i first noticed that it indeed put the truck into limp mode, which causes the engine to decrease power so i could hardly accelerate.(pressure sensor in exhaust went off because valves were stuck open) i knew exactly what the problem was due to many having the same issues on a tacoma forum i am on.(all with early 2012's, a redesigned pump was made and installed on later built 2012s) i took apart the system after getting a shaft from my local dealer saying it was under powertrain warranty.(knew it was unlikely as i have almost 70k miles, but thought why not try) after reading about other's ways of solving the issue, i took apart both the air pump and valve assembly to inspect them. i was amazed to find a soaked air filter with water sitting in the plastic molding under it, i also found the rubber had been burnt up in the valve assembly, along with deposits due to moisture.(pictures attached) from what i have read, and what i have seen, ...
P2440-p2442 error code. secondary air injection valves and pump. a poorly engineered part that continues to break and toyota wont address the issue like it has on the tundra & sequana (sp). they know they have a bad part .
