Secondary air injection system code p2440 and p 2442.

Today leaving work my truck went into complete limp mode. Turned around and thankfully I work at a dealership not a Toyota one though. I got the codes that popped up checked and it was the codes for the air injection pump and flaps. I called Toyota and they said this is common in the my truck and I am right outside my coverage for it. It ends at 150,000 and I have 163. I have to drive this truck back and forth on the interstate and if this is a common problem why would y�all put a cutoff on the problem. Why is this not a recall. I bought my truck 2nd hand so I had no idea of this problem.

Toyota has a known issue of the secondary air injection switching valve that is faulty that causes the 2012 Tacoma to go into "limp mode" expectantly. I was getting on the freeway and the truck cut out down to 25 mph while traffic was rapidly approaching almost causing an accident. The engine codes shown are the typical p2440 and p2442 and has been reported numerous times. Please prompt Toyota to recall this part to avoid unfortunate accidents or death due to a known issue.

The secondary air injection system went out.

Fuel leaking from the connections for the high pressure direct injection system. Fuel was leaking down the back of the engine and onto the transmission bellhousing near the exhaust. I could smell faint odor of gas in the cabin while driving. Used uv dye to identify the source of the leak. Unknown how long this was occurring for, I have been smelling gas in the engine bay for weeks, Toyota dealer told me the smell was �normal� during my last service several weeks ago.

Code p2443 valve stuck closed came up when my "trac and cel" lights came up on the dash. This happened on startup. This code is a failure of the secondary air injection switching valve stuck closed. This condition can lead to lost power when driving called a "limp mode" and is occurring on Toyota Tacoma"s at around the 50k mile mark as I have found on the Tacoma world website. This issue has also been noted on the Toyota tundra as well and a TSB has been issued to fix this problem but not for the Tacoma. I have noted that my power has diminished since the lights came on (3 days). I checked with my Toyota dealer and they say they have no history of this happening. Tacoma owners say this issue is well known and Toyota is failing to address a fix. The loss of power can occur anytime and if it happens on a busy interstate or highway can result in accidents.

Check engine light and trac off light came on. Truck went into "limp" mode and would only go about 35mph. Checked the error code and it was p2442 which says the secondary air injection system is failing. Truck has only 55k miles on it and has been regularly maintained by Toyota dealerships every 6 months / 5k miles. Dealership has said it will be $2023 to replace the system. There should be a recall or extended warranty on this injection system.

Recently I was driving my 2012 Toyota Tacoma on the highway at a sustained speed of 70 mph. A check engine light came on and my car instantly dropped in speed to less than 40 mph while in fast moving traffic. I was almost rear ended by a large truck and was forced to cross multiple lanes of traffic to get to the berm and ascertain the situation. As I could find no issues upon inspection, I precariously drove the vehicle to a service store to read the error codes. The vehicle showed p2440 p2442 error codes indicating secondary air injection failures. Apparently, the vehicle went into limp mode upon throwing these codes which limits speed and engine rpm. This almost caused a huge accident and put me into a a very dangerous situation. Additionally upon researching these issues, it seems this is a well documented issue caused by manufacturing defects isolated to the 2012 model year. Apparently, the system is defective in multiple ways. First, a piece of foam is inside the secondary air pump which degrades and is sucked into the fan which not only causes stoppage and burning out the fan motor but also allows for stinky residue and debris to enter the valves causing them to jam open or closed. Additionally, the system allows moisture to be sucked into the valves adding to corrosion and degradation of the valves leading to them to be stuck. This is a roughly 1500. 00-2000. 00 repair. It is a quite frequent problem with this model yet is not covered under recall or service bulletin. Toyota has acknowledged the issue yet not taken any action. Additionally, they have had similar problems with the tundra/sequoia and offered remedy to owners via extended warranty. This is not only a quality control issue but more importantly a severe safety issue with the automatic reduction to a slow speed in fast heavy traffic.

Error code p2442 secondary air injection valve stuck open. Truck immediately goes into "limp' mode and will not accelerate over 20mph. Extremely unsafe to have the vehicle decelerate on a highway for a known issue that has prompted warranty extensions on Toyota tundra's.

Secondary air injection error codes p2440, p2441,p2442. Loss of power due to air injector stuck. Vehicle will not accelerate beyond 20-30 mph. This is an emmsisions requirement but warranties on Tacomas will not cover beyond 3yrs/35k miles. Tundras have tundras have same known issues and Toyota incrwased warranty to 10 yrs/150k miles. Sudden loss of power is also a safety issue while driving on highways. Owners are paying thousands in repairs for something that should be covered under warranty.

Failure of the secondary air injection pump and valve emission system prompted engine to run in a reduced power mode, and this occurred on a on a relatively new vehicle with below average mileage. While setting may protect engine, this created an unsafe driving environment for vehicle within fast moving traffic. My compliant is not related to the reduced driving mode that may have protected the engine, but rather the poor design of the air-pump/valve system that prematurely failed causing the reduced power mode.

Like many others, my 2012 Tacoma suddenly lost power on the hiway. Refused to go above 40 or so mph. Other cars had to slam on brakes to avoid me. Took it to the dealer and they wanted nearly $2000. 00 to replace the same parts that have been identified in the tundras as being defective. Secondary air injection stuck open. The codes are p2440 and p2442. This is a safety hazard as the vehicle suddenly loses power. Toyota issued a TSB and extended the warranty to 150k for the tundra but not the Tacoma.

Vehicle stumbled and engine almost died while making a turn in front of incoming traffic with my one year old daughter in the truck. Mil on with code p2442 reported, secondary air injection malfunction. This 2012 Tacoma is Toyota certified with 34,216 miles, spoke with multiple Toyota representatives and all have stated this is not a warrantied item. This malfunction is common on other Toyota trucks which have extended warranties on the same emission component in question. This problem is both a safety hazard and an emissions hazard. It needs to be addressed.

Secondary air injection system truck would not accelerate and lost power. I've noticed it has done this since new. I now have 37,000 miles on it and have received messages check engine light and trac off messages. This is very dangerous as you have no engine power when entering into traffic. The truck will not go over 35 miles an hour and takes for ever to gain speed.

Driving on the street to work one morning, the trac off and check engine lights both suddenly appeared. I then noticed that my truck was not able to accelerate past ~40 mph. Going uphill, my truck was limited to only ~20 mph. My truck went into this "safe mode. " I connected an obd device and the came up with the following two codes: p2440 and p2442. The codes refer to "secondary air injection system switching valve stuck open" for banks 1 and 2, respectively. I did some further research on the codes, and it turns out this is a common issue on 2012 Tacomas. Apparently, the valve for the secondary air injection system is stuck open due to moisture and/or carb build up. I believe this is a design/engineering issue. Part replacement costs ~$480 for each valve assembly. Labor can range anywhere between $200-$500. If this is a known issue that is common to a lot of 2012 Tacomas, then I believe Toyota should be proactive such as releasing an official recall or even implement some type of reimbursement. Note that my truck has ~80,000 miles on it. As an owner, I shouldn't suffer from an engineering design flaw and I shouldn't be financially responsible to repair/fix the issue. Any assistance would be helpful. Thank you and happy holidays!.

Secondary air injection system: started the vehicle and check engine light came on. Obd read p2440/p2442. While driving uphill on a very busy highway, the vehicle loss power and would not go faster than 20mph and the rpm's rammed up. After some some research found out this is a common problem with the Tacoma in which Toyota was aware of.

The air injection pump went out and had to be replaced, and there is only 18,200 miles on the vehicle. The check engine light came on while driving, and I was able to drive the vehicle to the dealership before "safe mode" kicked in. Toyota was able to replace the defective part. I understand from reading on the internet that this is turning out to be a common problem for this vehicle, and wish to add my experience to the list.

My 2012 Tacoma with 45,000 miles got a check engine light and "trac off" light when I started it to go home. I was merging onto the interstate and unable to go above 40 mph. This was obviously not safe so I exited and took it to a dealer.

Gov site, this is a very common complaint with this year and model. I just bought this last July and I never expected to have to replace parts anytime soon.

My 2012 Toyota Tacoma prerunner 2wd has 54,640 miles. I just got a check engine light and "trac off" light yesterday. My truck would accelerate to just 25 mph when merging onto the interstate and top speed was around 50 mph. This is a serious safety issue and Toyota will not cover this known problem under the standard 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. Autozone ran the diagnostic scan and came up with trouble codes p2440 and p2442. These are tied to the secondary air injection system and switching valves. The Toyota dealership said this would cost me close to $2000 to repair. I paid $30,000 for this vehicle brand new just 4 years ago. This needs to become a class action lawsuit so that a safety recall is issued for Toyota to repair this known defect for free.

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.

Only 49,000 miles on my $32,000 truck and like many other owners of 2012 Tacomas I have the check engine light come on with the trac off light and giving the diagnostic code of p2442 secondary air injection switching valve. This is clearly a emissions and manufacturing problem with this year and Toyota should have to foot the bill instead of charging us $2,100 for a fix a a practically new expensive truck. The air injection valve is part of emissions and should be covered and a TSB or recall should be issued for this. When this valve goes out typically every 50,000 it renders your truck useless and puts it into safe mode not allowing you to go more than 35-40 mph. Needless to say this speed just doesn't work on the highway to travel to work and unless you fork over the $2,100 to have it fixed then you have to find another way to work. This is such a scam on Toyotas part and I am outraged that after purchasing over 4 Toyota vehicles from them they don't stand by their product to fix the problem.

The secondary air injection systems seems to fail quite frequently on these 2012 Tacomas with little to no help from Toyota to take care of this issue as a recall. These are known to fail right after your out of warranty and to charge it's loyal customers over $1000 for a part that should not fail or a part that should be covered is absurd. I have been a loyal Toyota customer my whole life but the issues of the Tacoma are making me rethink my decisions as an automotive consumer.
