During normal driving, the check engine light and traction control off light came on and truck immediately went in to limp-home mode. I had it scanned for codes at the local auto parts store and it came back with p2440 and p2442 which seems like a common issue with a valve in the secondary air injection system.

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…

While commuting to work the engine light and traction control light came on, causing my truck to slow down, very slow. It would not let me accelerate and disabled my progress to around 2000 rpms. This could have been a very serious or a dangerous situation especially if i was towing a load or in a major traffic situation. Codes - 2440 and 2442 were the causes of this scary account.

Code p2440 and p2442. Air injection system valves are stuck open (related to emissions control unit) which causes the vehicle to go into 'limp' mode abrupbtly. This renders the vehicle undriveable, and can occur in the midst of driving causing serious danger to the driver and fellow drivers on the road.

I started my tacoma, the check engine light and trk off lights were on and after taking them to the dealer learned that the vechile was in limp mode. The truck will not easily accelerate beyond 30mph. This is caused by error code p2442 and p2440, from a known faulty part that toyota refuses to replace.

I took my 2012 tacoma into service today with a trac off and check engine light on. I was told that the secondary air injection switching valve needed replaced at the tune of $1300. I see that many others have had this issue and with 37k miles, i find it unreal that this isn't covered under the powertrain warranty.

My tacoma tends to surge forward when it is stopped. I do not think it has anything to do with the air conditioner being on.i had the a/c off the first time. If someone isn't on the brake firmly they may tap the vehicle in front of them. *tr
