    AIP system. Do a search and you'll find plenty of info.

    Search using "AIP system". When you read up about it, you will find that you will probably be better off by-passing the system. Fixing it will cost a lot of money so by-passing it will be more cost effective. Also fixing it will not guarantee it from a future failure. Mine had already been worked on twice before I bought my truck. The AIP system is a terribly designed system that is prone to repeated failures. Toyota dealers are raking in big bucks from unfortunate owners repairing it.
