[@Chris-y9r8h]

Thanks for taking the time and effort to go step by step when replacing the secondary air injection valve. Unfortunately, I also ended up needing the step by step instruction on the pumps as well. As you stated is sometimes the case, water can get in there. Sure enough I shook the pumps and u could hear water inside them so I replaced both. All said took me about 14 hours to get everything done as I am no mechanic. Well worth the time though since I spent about 900 bucks getting it done and Toyota would have charged me around 4 grand. Can’t thank you enough!!!

I don't even own a Toyota but I was highly impressed by the way you “methodically” explained and demonstrated how to replaced and reassemble the needed components to this Secondary Air Injection System. Ever thought of becoming an instructor?

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks for the nice compliment. I appreciate it. No, I never thought about becoming an instructor, but in a way, I guess that's what I do with Sean and others. We instruct people how to perform jobs on their rigs.

[@mode1charlie170]

I feel like I owe you money after this great tutorial. Love how you described in detail how to remove those stubborn electrical connectors and plastic brackets. Im going to test the pumps without removing them if possible. I know my valves have issues so they are going to be replaced. I’ll leave the housing in place for simplicity though.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Your comment is payment enough. Glad our video helped you out. Good luck with the job. Happy Wrenching!

[@rs1133]

So happy I found this video after seeing P2442 on my 2008 tundra. I only did the valve and not the pumps, but it still took me around 6-7 hours. I saw other videos, but only this one gave me the confidence to take on this job. As is the case with all projects, the right tools make all the difference. I had to go with what I had, but that certainly meant more time and curse words. As others mentioned, I was able to get the bolts off the exhaust pipe on the passenger side, but I couldn't get them back in so I ended up taking off the exhaust pipe anyway - as shown in the video. Could have saved an hour just following the video instructions - lesson learned. Having a second set of hands would also be a huge help during certain parts, but I was able to complete it all solo - again, just takes a bit more time. Thank you so much for the video!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

You're very welcome, Bobby. It's great to know our video helped you out. Who cares how long it took. You got it done on your own and saved a ton of money. A dealership would have suggested replacing the pumps as well, and you would have spent thousands on this repair. So, I say Great Job Bobby! Happy Wrenching!

[@stephenruston9233]

What a phenomenal video! Man this really bailed me out for getting this job done myself. Your method and high level of detail along with some humor speckled in made this job almost (I emphasize almost) enjoyable 🙂 Something to share: I was able to get the troublesome EGR exhaust pipe bolt that butts up against the engine head (shown at 41:14 of your video) with a mini box-in wrench that came with a Kobalt toolset I just happened to have. I was doing this job alone so I wanted to give this a shot and it worked albeit it wasn't easy. If you have a mini box-in that will clear the very narrow space between the bolt head and the engine head you can break it free then use the open end and then your fingers to back it out until it pushes up against the engine head. You will not be able to completely remove the bolt until you free up the whole unit and then you gotta tilt it up so you can finish backing out the bolt to ultimately free the air injection pump from the connection. The EGR pipe has a very small amount of flex capability (like any long pipe would LOL) that will allow you to slightly push it toward the firewall to slide the bolt out. Of course be very careful with flexing the EGR pipe to do this...but it can be done. On re-install with the new pump I set the pump down in between the EGR connections on each side with all four mounting bolts completely removed. At this point I had to put some pressure on the EGR pipe back toward the firewall to allow me to slide the bolt back in its hole and then thread it back into the pump mount. I want to say that this was NOT EASY. It just worked and it is worth sharing for those doing the job alone. If you have a helper who can help align the lower EGR mount on re-installation that is probably the easiest way to do this job. Thanks again for doing this video and helping guys like me out!

@@derekcapitano5257 I just retired 2 months ago. I miss the job at some level, but there was quite a bit of B.S. that I don't miss.

I miss the adrenaline pumping calls, I miss driving the fire engine, and I miss a lot of the guys.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@@derekcapitano5257 I'm happy to hear you had success with the help of our video. Good job!

[@pnwdrifter5680]

Thanks for the excellent video. I checked the pumps just by applying voltage to the connectors - without taking the pumps out of the wheel well. About the rear pipe/valve bolt that hits the manifold (won't come out because it bumps) - it can be loosened, and then remove the 3 bolts that hold the valve set, then you have enough "play" to get that bolt the rest of the way out. Very fiddle - y, but can be done. I got a little careless when torquing the intake manifold down - I lost a 12mm deep socket down the back somewhere, but a small price to pay compared to paying the dealer. Note: use tape to secure your socket to the ratchet when tightening the intake manifold down - if loose it can bump off and fall deep into the engine! 😏

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks for sharing your success story even though there was a minor mishap with a socket. Happy Wrenching!

[@rob8823]

I watched a video by car care nut where he said they corrected this failure in later years by spinning the pump up for a second after shutdown to clear any water buildup. thanks for your breakdowns!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

I don't know how spinning the pump some more would help. It's the pumps sending water to the switching valves that's the problem. Toyota addressed the water intrusion into the pumps by redesigning the air intake tube that we showed in the video. Whether the new design works as intended is the question. Most people that have had issues with the secondary air injection system, at least from my experience, had a switching valve failure. The pumps were fine. Maybe the theory is having the pumps run for a second helps drive moisture out of the switching valve.

This is how all DIY videos should be made, clear visual perspective, articulate speaking and humor to get our mind off the frustration of car repairs. I'm getting ready to tackle this job, my 2010 Sequoia 5.7L has a code P2433 "Pressure sensor circuit high Bank1" i'm assuming this is what i need to replace, the pressure sensors sit on top of the diverter valves assembly right? Not a lot of info out there but i'm assuming this is the case. Thanks for the video fellas, keep it coming! Thumbs up and subscribed.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks for the nice compliment. We appreciate it. I don't know if the pressure sensors are part of the switching valve assembly. This is something I never researched. If you find a definitive answer, please comment back and let us know. You know, I might still have the Toyota FSM pages for this job on my computer. I'll take a look and let you know if I find anything regarding the pressure sensors.

[@vincephan344]

@@TimmyTheToolman thanks again for the DIY video, I was able to replace the valves today. Truck drives now without limp mode and seems to be working like normal. Before replacing the valves truck would not get out of limp mode, you can’t even clear the code it just stays on. As soon as I put these in the light went away on its own and truck is good again. I think it’s safe to say the pressure sensors are on this unit. So anyone with a code P2433 replace this with OEM Toyota parts and it should fix it. Costs $300 for the part and 2 hours of your time if you follow this video

Timmy, I finished up the secondary valve swap out late tonight. The video was a great help. I thought the entire job was smooth and I didn’t have any major issues until I cranked the truck. Although I no longer have the codes for secondary valves, the engine is going crazy first really low rpms and then high rpms the really low and then back to high and then back to low for several cycles until the engine dies. I double and tripled everything. Tomorrow I am going to take the intake manifold off again and make sure the center electrical connector between the secondary air valves is properly seated. The vehicle almost has 300k miles. The throttle body has never been clean and I first thought my clean throttle body was causing the issue but after 3 cycles of the engine dying out I stopped cranking. Just curious if you had any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks, Clay

The only suggestion is I can make is double check your work. You probably forgot to connect something.

​@@TimmyTheToolman Yep, the hose that was 'fighting me' (at 31:47) was the culprit. When I disconnected it, the other side of the hose also came loose.

I was just watching your video with the electric locks on the first gen Tacoma I went to same thing through something very similar replacing things checking things turns out it was the switch you might try plugging the right side switch into the left side door and see if that makes a difference if the door works or not, you’ll know if I switch if it has the same plug. I know you made that video two years ago, but I just now seen it.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks for the suggestion.

Did you replace valves with Toyota OEM Denso or Dorman?

[@volcanovo6831]

Just because the pump runs and blowing air doesn’t mean that the pump still doesn’t have water in it correct? There could be some water that’s not enough to be blown out? What’s your opinion on this?

[@TimmyTheToolman]

It's possible some moisture could be in the pumps. The only way to find out is to take it apart partially to look inside. We didn't want to mess with it since we had a lot still to film and limited time to do it.

Enjoy your channel. I have a ?? Related to my 2001 Toyota Tacoma, V6. Bought 2 years ago. When scan fuel trims, only shows one bank, bank one. Any ideas why?

There is definitely two banks, Bank 1 is for the passenger side and Bank 2 is the driver side. I don't know why you scanner would only show one.

So sir when you opened up the 2 valves and showed that the were stuck open/closed. Can they not be worked/repaired at to make them function like they are supposed to? Thanks.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

I'm not sure if they can be repaired. It's something I've never researched or tried.

[@lesp315]

I doubt it. Rubber seals will be totally gone. This is unfortunate because these parts are expensive. Also, if you buy cheap Chinese aftermarket you will be changing them very soon again. Don't ask how I know that.

[@andrewmedina6555]

Hi! I didn’t mark the hoses and forgot which hose goes where up top closer to the engine not the connection into the hose itself. Would I be able to email you a pic ?

[@TimmyTheToolman]

All I have as a reference is this video and another video I did on this engine replacing the valve cover gaskets. So, I'd have the same information as you. Maybe the valve cover gasket video series will help you out. It's two parts. This is Part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4SyeqmujNSajassi=Qi7lLKzEZAxtBN_0

[@dereksmith8047]

I have a 2013 5.7L Tundra and I got a P2445 Code replaced both pumps because I read they had been recalled. After replacing still getting the same code and lack of power symptons any suggestions? Derek, Orlando, FL

[@TimmyTheToolman]

So I'm guessing you never actually tested them before replacing them. It could be a problem with the pressure sensor for the secondary air injection system. I just did a quick search and found that.

[@dereksmith4178]

yes you're correct my bad but at least I've got new pumps that were recalled anyway! There was a pop on shut down a few days ago before my problem set in, so does this help your evaluation?@@TimmyTheToolman

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@dereksmith4178 No, it doesn't. This video I made was my one and only experience diagnosing an issue with the secondary air injection system on these Tundras. Like I said, the CEL you have could have multiple causes. I sort of doubt the wiring is the culprit, or the ECU is the culprit. I'd do research to find where that pressure sensor is on the engine and test it. Maybe someone on a forum has documented how to test it. If not, you can buy a 2-day subscription to the Toyota Tech Info website for $25 and download the factory service manual pages you require.

Look up Hewitt Technologies Bypass Kit.

Isn’t doing the Hewitt bypass easier, cheaper and safe

I've heard about this and I told Mark about it. Mark chose not to cheat the system so he could pass a smog check. He wanted to fix the problem using OEM parts.

[@daniel-p8u2z]

does the p0419 code mean one of the pumps or the check valve?

[@TimmyTheToolman]

I looked up that code, and it appears it could have multiple causes. So, I'm not in a position to give you a definite answer.

[@SpeedGasmEvo9]

Thank You to the very informative video. Just Subscribed to you video. Would you recommend Dorman I know its cheaper than OEM but will it last as long? I was also thinking of just doing the bypass kit. What are your thoughts?

[@TimmyTheToolman]

I have no experience with Dorman products, but I think it would be a risk. Many people have gone with the electrical bypass kit to trick the system and I think that's a safe and affordable option to go with. This secondary air injection system does very little to keep your trucks emissions lower. It's just another stupid idea some emissions engineer came up with to cost owners a lot of headaches and money. Not having the secondary air injection functioning isn't going to cause your engine any harm or performance issues. It's just to make your life miserable when it's time to take your truck to a smog station so you can legally resister your truck. As long as you're not worried about the Smog Police coming to your door and taking you away in handcuffs, I think you're ok bypassing. Some laws were meant to be broken, emissions laws being one of them. While the U.S. overburdens our citizens with emissions laws because of the fear of climate change, other countries like China are spewing out tons of crap into the air. I'm a person with a good moral compass, and I have integrity, and I would have no problem sleeping like a baby if I bypassed this stupid secondary air injection system. I hope my take on this helps you out.

I hv 2445 pump stuck off bank 1 but pump runs if u supply volts to pump, i dont hear it when starting eng.

The P2445 code could mean a bad air switching valve too from what I looked up. So, it's probably the switching valve and not the pump.

[@geesss8675]

What percentage of vehicles made have this failure and on average how many miles can owners experience this? what is the dealer cost for this repair

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Don't know the percentages but it was enough for Toyota to give an extended warranty on the system, 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. It can happen to people pretty early less than 100,000 miles but obviously it can happen later as well. Mark's Tundra had around 100,000 miles but his 2008 rig was over 10 years old so he was out of luck. I've heard people say the dealer could charge up to $4000 parts and labor for this job but I've also heard lower numbers as well.

[@jaredborell7824]

@@TimmyTheToolman The information you just said was correct. I have 2011 with 200k miles and the CEL just came on with error code P2441 "Secondary Air Injection System Switching Valve Stuck Closed Bank 1" and I was quoted $4000 from a Toyota dealership and $3200 from my trusted shop. When I called Toyota they told me to basically go pound sand, even though my Tundra is a Gen2 which earlier Gen2's were covered, they only went to the year 2010. Getting this error code off so I can sell the truck with no CEL. I loved my Tundra but I need more towing and payload capacity for my new camper. We are at the max payload with my wife (140lbs) , myself (200lbs), our two dogs (100 lbs & 85lbs), and the hitch weight. My 1 Ton diesel truck has been booked and is currently being built. Toyota has lost a faithful customer with this design flaw and not backing repair costs. It's not only me they are losing, I'm a fleet manager for a large construction company and I'm currently selling every Toyota truck we have (102). Design flaws are BS and should be covered for the life of the unit. Anyways great video and you helped me save tons of money by walking me through all this step by step. Thanks!!!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@@jaredborell7824 Thanks for the comment Jared. Yeah, it is too bad Toyota isn't owning this mistake. And, it's such an unimportant system to just clean up the emissions during the first few minutes of engine operation. Our smog laws are pretty ridiculous.

Does this have any issues with engine hasitation ?

No, he didn't. This system is for emissions and it really doesn't so a whole lot other than cause people grief when one of the components of the system fails and they get a check engine light.

@@charlesmecum5009 I'm a DIYer, not a Toyota Tech. If the check valve is testing out OK, I don't know what would be next. So with the switching valve test, you can hear or see the valve opening and closing or is it just some ohms resistance test? From my experience, which is limited, it's usually the switching valve that is the problem.
