Gen 1: Secondary Air Injection System Bypass Kit (Plug & Play)

Description

DESCRIPTION:

Hewitt Tech Generation 1 Secondary Air Injection System Bypass Kit (Plug & Play)

The Hewitt Tech (HT) Gen 1 Bypass Kit prevents operation of the SAIS at cold soak start. The Gen 1 is our basic bypass kit that enables you to clear the Check Engine Light, Limp Mode and error codes related to mechanical SAIS faults. The V54H is compatible with most Toyota and Lexus vehicles model years ’08 – ’12 and select ’13 vehicles. However, it is not compatible with Flex Fuel vehicles. Like the V36H, the V54H Plug & Play Gen 1 Bypass kit decreases labor/Install time with connectors compatible with the vehicle’s factory components. All wiring connections, except the starter relay wire, are achieved using the Plug & Play harness. It is made with automotive grade materials and designed to blend in with the factory wiring harness. This allows for a very clean factory looking installation. Easy to follow step by step installation instructions are included with vehicle specific illustrations. We recommend the Gen 1 Plug & Play Bypass kit for both professionals and DIY mechanics because of the ease of install and affordability. However, if the vehicles ECM has been flashed with an updated calibration file the Gen 1 may not be compatible. If the vehicle has been reflashed then you will need to purchase the Gen 2 Bypass Kit. Please see note below of for additional information*.

The following are Mechanical Trouble codes the Gen 1 Bypass Kit typically addresses**:

P1441 – Switching Valve No.2 Stuck Open Bank 1
P1442 – Switching Valve No.2 Stuck Close Bank 1
P1444 – Switching Valve No.2 Stuck Open Bank 2
P1445 – Switching Valve No.2 Stuck Close Bank 2
P2440 – Switching Valve Stuck Open Bank 1
P2441 – Switching Valve Stuck Closed Bank 1
P2442 – Switching Valve Stuck Open Bank 2
P2443 – Switching Valve Stuck Closed Bank 2
P2445 – Pump Stuck OFF Bank 1***
P2447 – Pump Stuck Off Bank 2

The following are Trouble codes NOT addressed by the Gen 1 Bypass. These will require kit addon(s) in order to clear. However, if you are getting any electrical codes our recommended solution is the Gen 2 Bypass kit.

Electrical Codes

P0412 – SAIS Switching Valve ‘A’ Circuit Malfunction Bank 1
P0415 – SAIS Switching Valve ‘B’ Circuit Malfunction Bank 2
P0418 – SAIS Circuit/Relay ‘A’ Circuit Malfunction Bank 1
P0419 – SAIS Circuit/Relay ‘B’ Circuit Malfunction Bank 2

Electrical SAIS error codes are usually caused by an open or short circuit in one of the Air Switching Valves or Air Pumps. Each code would require a separate addon.

Pressure Sensor Codes

P2431 – Air Flow / Pressure Sensor Circuit Range / Performance Bank1
P2432 – Air Flow / Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Bank 1
P2433 – Air Flow / Pressure Sensor Circuit High Bank 1
P2436 – Air Flow / Pressure Sensor Circuit Range / Performance Bank 2
P2437 – Air Flow / Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Bank 2
P2438 – Air Flow / Pressure Sensor Circuit High Bank 2
P106B – Pressure Sensor Correlation / Evap. Pressure Sensor

These codes typically indicate a damaged Pressure Sensor which is usually caused by an Air Switching Valve being stuck open for an extended period of time. Functioning Pressure Sensors are needed for both Gen 1 and Gen 2 Bypass kits. Compatible Pressure Sensor addon required in order to clear.

MORE ABOUT THE SAIS BYPASS KIT

What makes the Gen 1 (V54) Bypass Kit different than the Gen 1 (V36) Bypass Kit? In 2008 there was an update made to the computer programming that affected SAIS operations. With this change a new module had to be engineered with two harnesses; installing at both the Air Intake Temperature (IAT) sensor and the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. Our competitors have not taken this update into consideration with their products. That said, if you were install a competitor’s kit or Gen 1 (V36) on a model year ’08 or newer, you would get the error code P011B – Temperature Correlation Error. Just another reason to go with HT, the original SAIS bypass. Lastly, we have seen an intermittent chocking start issues on some vehicles using the Gen 1 (V54) ****.

The bypass module is activated when the ignition is first switched to “ON” and any time it detects a 4-12V signal on the starter relay wire. The starter relay wire is only available from Hewitt Technologies home of the Original SAIS Bypass Modules! When connected, ensures that the module actively prevents the SAIS from running on EVERY start.

With the starter relay wire connected you can turn the ignition to “ON” for any period of time and the module will be active as soon as you crank the engine. Without the starter relay wire connection, you would need to turn the ignition back “Off” and then crank the vehicle to ensure the module is active or the system could operate and cause trouble codes and the CEL to come back on. Just install the kit with the starter relay wire connection and don’t worry about having to start the engine as soon as you turn the key on! If anyone else drives the vehicle this is a Must!

The included Air Switching Valve Block-off Plates are an integral part of the bypass kit. The Block Off Plates are the only way to isolate the Air Switching Valves and protect the related Pressure Sensor(s) from damage caused by exhaust. Open Air Switching Valves and Pressure Sensors exposed to exhaust are the primary cause of Limp Mode and SAIS failure.

It is important to understand that installing a HT bypass will prevent your Air Pumps and Air Switching Valves from operating. However, it will not close the Air Switching Valves or keep them closed in the future. That said, choosing not to install the Block Off Plates leaves the SAIS vulnerable because exhaust may leak into open valves and damage the Pressure Sensors. As noted above, both Gen 1 & 2 HT bypass kits require kit addons to clear SIAS Pressure Sensor codes. Do yourself a favor, avoid future frustrations and costs; install the Block Off Plates.

If you are having a hard time determining which is the best solution for your vehicle, please do not hesitate to give us a call or send an email. Hewitt is here to help!

Note:

*Gen 1 Bypass Kits are not compatible with vehicles that have had the ECM updated with a calibration file from Toyota Technical Service Bulletin T-SB-0033-12. It is assumed that this ECM update will cause the secondary air system to operate at shutdown after the vehicle has reached operating temperature. Only Gen 2 Bypass can prevent SAIS system operating at shutdown. Click Here to Learn more.

**The vehicles fuses, Pressure Senor(s), factory wiring harness and Engine Control Module (ECM) must be in good working condition for bypass kit to operate properly.

***There is a known “Cold Weather Glitch” on some older 4.7L engines. If the vehicle is tripping a P2445 and it is caused by this glitch; the Hewitt Technologies SAIS Bypass Kit will not resolve the issues. Please visit our Error Codes page or give us a call to learn more.

****There is a known intermittent chocking start issue on vehicles that our more sensitive to after installing Gen 1 (V54) Bypass Kit. This is due to the tolerance in the engine temperature sensor. It most commonly occurs when the engine temperature is between 90 – 100 degrees.

+HT SAIS Bypass kits are engineered to work with Factory or OEM SAIS components. That said, aftermarket SAIS components can cause SAIS codes to be present after installation of the bypass kit. This typically means you will need a kit addon from Hewitt Tech in order to clear SAIS codes that are still present.
