Thanks.

I he looked up the code I gave them and he said they would have to confirm and hook it up at no charge. So I said.... let's do it. The same code came up but it was not in there system under warranty, but the apparently the whole secondary air injection system is covered.... so he's sending up the flag pole with Lexus and waiting to hear back if it's covered. But, I do remember him referring to all the codes with the air pump being covered.... P2440, P2442...ETC... So... I would DEFINITELY CHECK it out with the dealership before doing the work your self. Thanks for everyone's input on the forum. I'll let you know how it turns out.
