“My 2012 toyota tacoma check engine and traction control light came on. Truck went in limp mode, which was very unsafe. Took my truck to auto zone to have the codes read. My truck code was p2442. Air injection system switch valve stuck open. This is a known issue to toyota tundra trucks but not for the tacoma.”
An owner's complaint to NHTSA about the engine, Dec 2016
“Vehicle lost power while on the highway, immediately reduced speed to around 40 mph. The "trac off" indicator light came on and the truck went into "limp mode", so I was able to take the next exit and I took it to the auto part store for a code reader. P2440/ p2442 came up in error, secondary air injection system stuck open.”
