    Has any one installed a Hewitt tech bypass module for secondary air injector pump on a 2011 4.6 tundra?

    well, I guess no one has tried this device, I myself would like to hear from someone that has any information on this bypass kits. I would probably install one if I could get some pointers.

    I have the home built version on my 08. It works perfectly for the last 100k miles.

    The 4.7 is a much less produced engine, so not as many people have had to bypass the system.

    FWW, I think the Hewlett system is way overpriced.

    My system was $15.

    OP is asking about his 4.6 V8. From what I've read that engine is really similar to 5.7's:confused:

    I have had one on my 5.7L for a couple of years. Assisted with testing a couple earlier versions. No issues, I forget that it's even there. He's made it pretty much Plug and Play if you're not into DiY. It's a sealed matchbox sized box that plugs into the harness with one wire that needs to be run to a relay in the engine bay fuse box.

    I installed the Hewitt Kit last year on my truck, probably had it on for about 5 or so months and have had no issues. I have an 08, 4.7L and this was the second time my AIP went out. First time was replaced under warranty, second time I was not so lucky. While I was still under the mileage, my truck was out of the 10 year mark by about 3 months.

    Anyways, I researched around and did not want to go the DIY route as with my luck I would have screwed something up. The Hewitt Kit was EXTREMELY easy to install and I liked the guy. He knew a lot about the issue and his products, and offered support. Also turns out that their company is only about 20 minutes from my house haha.

    thanks, everyone for getting back to me on this subject.my truck is in the shop now. I guess the intake valves on the driver's side, code comes up saying that they are bad. this is along with a blown fuse for the pumps. gave permission to replace right side valves and fuse. they ran a few scans before and only thing came up was the valves and fuse. then when this work is done. they will run another scan and they are hoping nothing will come up as am I. Will know today. But I am a little confused why did they valves go bad in the first place?

    I think that they can get crud and moisture in them and get corroded and either stuck open or closed. I've read that the motors that direct air to the valves can also ingest moisture and get damaged that way.

    Yeah I took one apart and I unjammed it. It’s just carbon buildup and crap from the exhaust over time. That being said it didn’t work after I broke it all loose so go figure

    Same here. Got all the crazy flashing lights, but had full power. Made the mistake of pulling the battery cable to reset the code....then into limp mode and wouldn't idle anymore. Took valves and pumps apart, cleared out carbon and gunk, no luck. Checked voltages, no power to bank 1 pump, purchased a pump thinking that was the issue, nope. Finally took it to Toyota, $2950, a full system replacement (both valves, both pumps, and the newer inlet tubes with the cowl). Service writer said one of the valves was broken. I missed the service recall by 5500 miles

    Just wanted to say I recently purchased one of your kits and had numerous questions prior to purchase and several after install, your tech support was great both before and after the sale, I would highly recommend your product to anyone. Thank you for providing it and saving me over $2k. :cheers:

    Just another customer here to praise your product and dedication to your customers. I sent an email to this guy on a SATURDAY AFTERNOON and he emailed me back that evening. Stand up guy and a great product saving thousands for lots of folks getting shafted by Toyota.

    Had gen II kit installed by local mechanic, $90.00, commented very straightforward install and design looks like it a Genuine Toyota part. No more dash lights, truck runs great and saved me $2500. Becky was great with all my questions.

    After yesterday raining and cold my truck check engine light has gone off again as if nothing wrong. Maybe I have a different problem causing it to activate. The cost for the new bypass is $200 more for the newer Gen III . Don't want to spend more dollars if I don't have too. Any feedback would help. Thanks

    The only way to tell for sure is to know what your trouble codes are. That is always the first place to start. As far as the secondary air injection system goes, problems with it can sometimes start out intermittently. Most often they start happening more often and quickly the problem gets worse until you are full on stuck in limp mode. Again, you have to start with the codes to know for sure. If they come back on give us a call and we would be glad to advise you on your codes. Toll Free 844-307-7671

    Secondary Air Injection System Bypass Kits
    The GenII kit is the recommended kit for all of the 4.6L vehicles. If you have a P2440 code that you cannot clear it is likely the pressure sensor in your Bank 1 air switching valve is damaged. For that we have the Pressure Sensor Replacement Options (PSO), they are the only kit addons that we have or are potentially required with the GenII kit. Nothing else needed, nothing to program, nothing to mess with the sensors just install in place of the factory air injection control driver(s) and plug the harnesses into the air switching valves, clear the code if you didn't have the battery disconnected and you are done.
    The GenII kit will also allow the emissions monitor to run and show complete and the permanent codes stored will drop out by themselves the first time it runs.
    Like our other kits they are solely for off-road or emissions exempt use only.

    for those of you with up to 2013 tundras, shouldnt the repair be fixed under the AIP special warranty? It should be good for 10 years, 150 thousand miles.

    I have a 2010 tundra 4.6L that I bought in 2011 with 118K miles, went into limp mode today. Called the dealer, they said it would be covered until June 2020.

    im going to get a hewitt kit, what is the benefit of the Gen II vs the Gen I?

    No. The 10 year, 150k mile warranty extension you are covered under only applied to certain 2007-2010 vehicles. Some 08-11 were covered under a 3 year 36k mile warranty extension but that is completely expired. There has never been another warranty extension for the length of time the one you are currently being covered under. Currently I think the only vehicles that are covered under any extended warranty are the last of the 2010 vehicles that are still under 150k miles and haven't hit their 10 year mark yet. A failure is still probably covered if it falls under your new car warranty period but I think all of the extended warranties for it are pretty much gone now.

    The GenII kits are by far the better solution. They are a complete stanalone solution and emulate the entire system by replacing the factory air injection control driver. Unlike our older units that only prevent the system from running they do not need any kit addons for things like bad pump motors or solenoid valve circuits. In fact the GenII kit doesn't even care if the air pumps are still on the vehicle and the computer will still think everything is present and operating like it should be. It also does not have to alter and of the temperature sensors or connect to the starter relay to make sure it is triggered correctly. Once the GenII kit is installed the only thing that remains in the system is our unit, the pressure sensors in the air switching valves (or Pressure Sensor Replacement Option kit addons if they were damage), the wiring and the computer. It pretty much completely eliminates the possibility of getting any trouble codes or having any problems from the system..ever. When using one of our older kits, even though the system no longer runs, the aif injection control driver is still actively monitoring the system so there is still the possibility of getting codes later on that would need additional kit addons added to the kit to take care of and that is not the case for the GenII other than the pressure sensors and the chance of having a pressure sensor go bad after the fact unless it was already questionable are practically null at this point.

    If you have any other questions just let us know. Please give use a call Toll Free 844-307-7671 or visit our https://www.hewitt-tech.com you can also find the GenII kits here: Hewitt Tech GenII SAIS Bypass Kits
