Failed air injection pump or valves 2008–2011

What to check: Look for a check-engine light, and ask whether the air injection pump or switching valves were replaced under Toyota's extended cover.

Water in the pump and valves sets the check-engine light. Toyota extended the cover on these parts to 10 years or 150,000 miles for some 2011s, and Tundra Headquarters reports the same for 2008–2010 Sequoias.

What to check: Look over the frame from end to end, above all in salt states.
