2012 4.0 V6 Toyota Tacoma Air Injection Pump Mod

Today I replaced the foam filter inside the air injection pump on my 2012 Tacoma. I used a Uni filter UP-107 1" Clamp-On Breather. Such an easy mod to do. Whether your truck is under warranty or not, this is worth doing it.

Toyota has a special service campaign on this air injection pump for 2012 Tacomas. Supposed to replace for free, but this is a great idea to avoid the hassle of the dealership

My 2012 just hit 100,000 so I’m checking everything for preventative maintenance. The old filter actually looked brand new. No wear and tear, no dirt or bugs. I changed it thinking that maybe it looked so clean because it wasn’t filtering anything.

This is a mod everyone can do. Even with little to no experience the average person can do it. Help save yourself $$$ with a $13 dollar filter. Great little video to help Taco owners save their engines! 👍🏼

Completely agree with you. Ive seen people post about this mod on Facebook's Toyota Tacoma Enthusiast page and alot of people think its pointless and stupid. I completely disagree with them. Thanks for watching :)

@mikedicke5505 5 жыл бұрын

Five Foot I see people wasting money left and right on pointless mods. It’s their truck, they can do what they want with it. I think it makes more sense to spend $13 bucks and save a thousand down the road. My ‘12 had 70k on it when I did the mod and the OG filter was dry and super brittle. I’m so glad I found out about this before the thing came apart and ruined perfectly good parts. Cheers!

Question...Should the pump run constantly or at more of a pulse?

@temosgarage 4 жыл бұрын

The pump should only run at start-up for a few seconds when the engine is cold. Once the engine reaches operating temps, and the cats are nice and toasty warm, the pump will not run, or it shouldnt run, if it does, then something is wrong. I've came across some comments where the pump will turn on as soon as you turn off the engine; though my truck has never done this.

What is the " Main " function of this pump? Thank you !!!

@temosgarage 6 жыл бұрын

Secondary air injection (commonly known as air injection) is a vehicle emissions control strategy introduced in 1966, wherein fresh air is injected into the exhaust stream to allow for a fuller combustion of exhaust gases.

@temosgarage 6 жыл бұрын

It can't be this pump. This pump only turns on when you start the truck, will run for about 30 seconds, and shutdown the rest of your trip. Its got to be something else. Maybe a bearing going out? wheel bearing, carrier bearing, or something stuck on the brakes like a small rock?

It doesnt get wet, unless you drive without an engine hood. I've driven hours through thunderstorms and the pump and engine bay is as dry as the Sahara Desert.

I'm wondering being that they are both 2nd gen trucks, why does your 2012 V6 have it when my 2011 V6 does not?

@temosgarage 2 жыл бұрын

Have no clue. It’s weird. And I think newer year Tacomas don’t have it either. Some older Tacoma have also. But idk man.

Where do you get the cover?????

@temosgarage 7 жыл бұрын

Dustin R that goes over the pump? I visited an oliendo Toyota part store. Type Toyota parts on google and you'll see several Toyota parts store links come up. From there just navigate through their options until you can find the cover. At $45 just for the cover, it's not worth it lol I tried eBay but didn't find it.

What is the actual function of this fan, and why isn’t it simply plumbed into the air box?

@JAMESWUERTELE 3 жыл бұрын

It adds air to the exhaust, to my knowledge mostly during startup to add oxygen for catalytic warmup.

My truck, sadly, threw out the infamous P2441 code... I've cleared the code and she is running fine. Im waiting for P2440 and P2442 so I can take in to the Stealership for repairs. 7/23/2018

Today, my 2012 Toyota Tacoma had the engine light and Track off lights on. I went into KZfaq and checked the gas cap but the lights still stayed on. I went to Autozone and they did a diagnostic on the engine light and it came back P2442 Secondary Air Injection System Switching Valve Stuck. I'm suppose to go to the dealership tomorrow.

So you remove the foam I’m assuming and the new filter does the rest? What if you already had it pop a check eng and Tach off light?

@temosgarage 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, got rid of the foam inside the pump housing and the installed the filter breather so it catches the big particles. If the CEL is on, if you know the CEL code is for the Secondary Air Injection System, take your truck to your local dealership, they will cover the fix under warranty.

@rlhagemann 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks. Called Toyota customer service. They gave me a # and set me up for an appointment for warranty service. As for the pump I took the screw out and the top would not come off. I didn’t want to break it trying since it’s under warranty.

@temosgarage 5 жыл бұрын

The top is just hard to pop off but it will not break. I was afraid too but a little tug and it came out. Glad yours is getting fixed. How many miles? My 2012 has 94k miles and haven't had issues with the pump yet.

Ok I tried again and got it off. The sponge is intact so that’s a relief. Must just be the valve. I blew in that hose and it did appear to let the air go through which it’s not supposed to do. It popped the P2442 code
