I have an 2007 GX 470 140k. I am getting the vacuum cleaner sound for 30 sec at startup. Was told by mechanic the motor is failing and $2k to repair. He said there is a 50/50 shot that if the valves or open once it completely fails I might be ok. What is the risk of doing nothing and how long do I have before the fan motor completely fails? Thanks.

so... I went to the dealership today to get a price on the secondary air injection valve. I got the P2432 error code. So... I was talking at the parts counter and telling him about this seeming to be a pretty typical issue and service manager happened to be at the counter and he said that it's covered under the warranty no matter the mileage. 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.

FYI - Just an update the secondary air pump is covered under 10 year 150k; manufacture warranty. Unfortunately, mine expired in March 2017. If only it had started screeching a few months earlier

Looking for some advice here. I installed the bypass kit awhile ago and things seemed fine for like a year. I have been sporadically getting the the P02445 code and going into limp mode lately, more frequently. Sometimes it turns on right at startup, sometimes on the middle of the highway, seemingly random. What else could be causing this if I have the bypass kit installed?
