SAIS Bypass Kits - I have a Tundra 2005 SR5 with 135K miles. The secondary air injection systems went out. The check engine light is on and the truck is running on limp mode. My mechanic told me that it would cost $800 or more and only at the dealerships . I went to 'Google' and found this. It is a lot more affordable that the dealerships.
The Hewitt-Tech Secondary Air Injection System Bypass Kits offers a cost effective solution for the failure prone Secondary Air Injection / Induction Systems found on certain Toyota truck and SUVs. There are many different failures that can occur with this system and these bypass kits are able to prevent the system from operating and triggering many of the trouble codes that will set the CEL or put the vehicle into ""Limp Mode"". Some of the most Common Trouble codes are:P0418*, P0419*, 1441, P1442, P1444, P1445, P2440, P2441, P2442, P2443, P2445*, P2447
Secondary Injection Pump fault codes with limp mode resulting in failing CA smog. Will cost $2k+ to fix a well documented issue with this hardware. I will think twice about replacing my 12yr old Tundra with another Toyota as had been planned after 41 years of brand loyalty. Thanks Toyota...
I have a 2005 Tundra that is in limp mode due to a junk secondary air pump that Toyota says will cost anywhere from $2000.00 to $5000.00 to fix. It is covered on a recall from Toyota for 2007 and up. What really pisses me of is I'm on my 5th air conditioner fan motor at $228.00 a crack and have had to replace all the sensors on the tires of my truck, another $1000.00, and now this. It seems Toyota has a blow up clock that when you surpass the 36000 mark some things, not drivetrain, blow up and when it clicks 60000 it has another one that tells the truck now you can cost this jerk thousands!!!
I bought my truck new for $32000.00 tax tag out the door and I'm sure they made plenty on me and a lot of others who like the Tundra but this is a bit much........ This is enough to piss off the Pope .....Toyota service; "It would be covered if your Tundra was 2007 or newer sir" ... Bunch of rip off artists.
I bought my Tundra with 90k miles and the check engine light was on for a secondary air injection system valve stuck closed. $2k later and 5 years later and the light is still on and 2 Toyota dealerships and one independent mechanic could not fix the problem. All said the valve is sticking. All replaced the valve and the problem went away for a week or two and then came back. Toyota recognizes the issue as a manufacturing/design issue. The location of the air injection system causes it to take on moisture which causes the valves to stick. Toyota has offered a 150,000 extended mile warranty for all Tundras as far back as '07; but Toyota refuses to offer the extended warranty for models older than '07. Therefore I am stuck. I can't fix the problem because, by design, the valves will stick again even after they are replaced. I can't pass the state emissions test because of the problem.
