I have been told that I need to replace my air induction pump on 2007 Toyota Tundra.$2000 tests show switch is stuck on off. Do I need to replace the whole pump for this?

You can take em apart and clean em! There is 2 of them under the front right fender. Thats what I had to do mine had water inside. But if it doesnt work Yes you do have to buy them I believe the price is for the pair.
Have the same thing on my 07. That price is for one so your lookin @ $4kfor the pumps and labor and from the other experts on the board leaving it alone will not harm anything. But if your in a emissions anal state prolly gonna need to replace. Talked my local dealer into doing a goodwill coverage on it. Its worth a shot ask to talk to your regional rep. Whats your mileage?
Many emissions components that can cause a vehicle to fail smog test, are covered up to 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

fyi 4.7 shows to have two and 5.7 shows to have one...not sure if thats correct though...thats from an online 'yota parts catalog
I hate the EPA more and more everyday!!! So what does an air induction pump actually do? I honestly think you could build a bussiness on buying a new truck, disassemble it, and sell the parts for 1/2 of what Toyota wants and make a fortune. These things are worth $100K+ per the replacement cost for each part.
all cars are that way. car's parts are always worth more than the car itself. thats why they have auto chop shops, auto theft, and slavage yards.
oh and if im not mistaking, he may be the same guy who posted he had a check engine light on - the cause for needing the pumps replaced.... at least others have posted that..it runs fine just triggers the check engine light.
Same thing just happened for me yesterday. Got it checked out this morning and was told that I need to replace 2 induction pumps, totally somewhere close to $2,700. Truck is the 5.7 V8 w/ 39k miles and so I'm out of warranty. If anyone has some links to some more documentation on this, I'd be very grateful. I'd love to find some details on how to take them down and clean them. My inspection goes out this month so I'm curious as to whether I can go get one with the "Engine is bad" light on.
These are expensive parts to be replaced so quickly. I think this could be very bad for Toyota if a lot of people are replacing these parts every 50,000 miles, that's an extra 5 cents a mile for operation cost or about 1/3 of yor fuel expense at $2.50 a gallon. I have 76,000 miles on my truck and haven't had any issues. I kinda hope they are covered under the 100,000 mile warranty and if so that mine need to be replace in the next 20,000 miles One of the benifits with going with the 5.7L is that there is not a timing belt that needs to be replaced at 100,000 miles. A timing belt would be a much lower cost than a device that is mandated by the EPA for a global warming scheme. I'm sorry if I sound frugal, but that is some of the things I considered when I bought the truck.

One would think that it would be covered under the emissions warranty? To my understanding you would not pass an emissions test with out this part working properly, correct.
Well guys, I have to tell you. It's not looking good for us. I to have the same issue. I started the truck two days ago and the check engine light, 4LO, traction control and VSC were all illuminated. The truck had no power. I could not get above 45 mph. I took it to Auto Zone just to have them scan and they pulled DTC P2442, secondary air injection pump switch closed, bank 2. Did some reading on TS just to educate myself and based on what I saw, I took it to my closest dealer. They kept it for a day and a half to tell me that my truck fell under a TSB and that it would be $5000 dollars to repair my truck. All they did was scan with their Techstream. I paid them their diagnostic fee and took to the next closest dealer for a second opinion before I dropped that type of cash. My issue is that the air injection pumps have their own DTC's programmed into the ECM as well as the driver assembly. I'm not getting the codes for either of those components. If you look at the schematic for the air injection bypass/diverter switch, there is an electrical component/switch installed. Can't we just change that? Come on, the pumps list for $1112.00/ea and the valve set that goes along with them is $475.00. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there will be an easier solution to this problem. I to am over the 36,000 mile warranty. I'm at 45,000 miles. The latest dealer told me that he has had another truck come in before that had the same issue and they re-initialized the ECM and checked the harness for water/moisture intrusion and the truck has never been back for that issue. I'm hoping and praying that mine is the same thing. Anyone else have any additional info or similar conditions to this?
I bought a Actron 9180 scanner to solve a code problem w/my 03 frontier, it's funny, cause while I was searching around to figure the cheapest way to clear my codes, I more or less came across some info from Ford and there air injection pump is called a air pollution control pump & can be had for around 150 to 225$'s. All I can say is if these pumps are going for 1100$'s and in pairs, Toyota may wanta consider what the he!! there doing. Now if I maintained my vehicle and got backed into a corner were I'd have to pony up 5,000$'s over air injection pump's at say 50,000, 100,000, 150,000 or 225,000 miles that my friends would be the day me and Toyota made a clean and vary unfriendly break. This is a pickup truck and you have to make them so they are bullet proof & cheap to maintain. I may be a little enedumacated, but I got enough common sense not to put 2500$'s worth of air injection pumps on a damn pickup truck that's gona make a living running up & down dirt roads towing & hauling god knows what in all kinda weather. Maybe one of those edumacated toyota engineer's needs an unedumacated azz whumpin.
I couldn't agree more! I guess they make these things out of gold or something. I checked online to see if I could get these pumps cheaper, I can. I found them for $832.00/ea. This is my second Toyota that I have ever owned. I mostly owned Chevrolet's all my life. I'll post the outcome once I hear back from the second dealership. Stay tuned!
I received my truck back from the dealer today. The cause of my code, DTC P2442 was the valve set (emissions) that connect to the secondary air injection pumps. The dealer informed me that there was a previous TSB for these trucks that stated for them to check the wiring harness for moisture. This TSB is no longer valid. The latest and greatest TSB is T-SB-0329-08, Rev 1 dated October 28, 2008. This is for checking the actual pumps for moisture. The dealer checked mine and stated that they looked brand new. The dealer called Toyota Tech Support and they were directed to change the valve set. A little cheaper than $1112.00/ea for the pumps. The valve set lists for $475.00 but the dealer matched another dealerships price of $356.80 (25% off list). All in all, the total cost of running the scan on my truck, tracing out the wiring harness and troubleshooting my air injection pumps and installing new valve set, came in at $1001.66. I verified with my dealer to see if it was covered under the emissions warranty and it was not. I even asked for an out of warranty adjustment but there was not guarantee I would qualify or if the dealership would honor it. I'm going to save that request for the future just in case the pumps are an issue. Good luck to anyone else who has experienced this problem. It's a little hard to swallow that amount of money right after the holidays on an issue that Toyota knows about and it's not covered under any type of warranty once you go over 3/36.
My work schedule get's real crazy, but wanted to check back on this post, as I see a glaring problem, though Toyota looked as though they met TARHEELTUNDRA half way. Now I will say I agree the Tundra to be one of the beat vehicles I've ever owned, but Toyota IMHO needs to be carefull. No doubt they have some great engineer's, but this may be a point where simplicity may have been the better option. Crazy complex components that may or may not be all that reliable are always a vary bad option. 1.000$+ to refurbish smog pumps, what the heck if they would have burnt up? Sometimes simplicity & reliability are the better option, here's a thought for TOYOTA.

I wonder if you can fool the engine control unit into thinking everything is A-OK with a tuner?
