P2440 Code

My 2008 Toyota Tundra has 88333 miles. Drive it occasionally, a week at a time every 2 months. Haven't driven it for about 4 months this time. Started it up and the "VSC Off" light was flashing and the "Slip Indicator Light" was on and the "Check Engine Light" as well. I drove it for about 2 hours and nothing changed. Connected the OBD II reader and got the P2440 code plus "Sec.Air Inj.System Switching Vlv Stuck Bank 1."

I tried several options to clear the the "VSC Off" message but none worked. I read up about the valve sticking and watched some YouTube videos. My questions are these:

1) Does all this mean my ECM Module is bad since all this happened at the same time?
2) Would the stuck valve give all these indicators?
3) If so, can the valve be repaired, or do I have to buy a new one?

Thank you.

 

Not sure your ECM is bad if you can start and drive your truck. Seems it wouldn't run or very well at least.

Not sure what all codes or indicators the valve failure causes.

The valve can be replaced but is quite a job and fairly expensive to get done. The valve is not technically needed for the engine to run, its part of the emissions system. There are kits available to bypass the valve(s) which will allow the engine to run as needed. The kits consists of an electrical harness and some blocking plates for the exhaust manifold. The kits are a fraction of the cost.
Search the site or the web for the kits. Lots of info.

Good luck!

 

Thank you. That seems to be where I am headed. Is Hewitt the only one that sells them?

 

They are the only one I can name, seem to be very reputable with great customer/tech support.
I have probably heard of another 1 or 2 but couldn't repeat their name.
