Towbulance...lol

My first tow
Felt like I called an ambulance for it lol

Seems like one of the pulleys are seized.
Expensive? I hope not lol

Dumb question, but did you check to see if there was a vacuum in the engine bay? Actually sorry man. Please let us know what the issue was

Sounds like you have the dreaded Secondary Air injection Pump failure!!

Confirm this is what it is first but yep sure sounds like air injection pump failure. PM slyfox75 and get yourself an AIP bypass kit, tricks the failed pump into not turning on and you won't get any faults.

Would that failure cause the whole belt to not move as well?

Blinker fluid is only required with a V6.

Should just put you in "limp mode".

Not that I'm aware of, I was going by your report of saying it sounded like a vacuum, which is the sound the pump makes upon failure.

UPDATE***

So I had a mechanic (my uncle) look at it and there is no problem, no strange noise anymore. It runs just fine now as I was told. I'll give it a start up and run tonight when I get home.
Will update again when I get home and after the test run.

Strange "vacuum" noise is gone, thank god lol

But then my back window shattered today when the defrost was on for a bit... one thing after another... smh lol
I made a another thread for the back window because I remembered seeing one about how the back window shatters after using the rear defrost. Now I can't find that thread, anyone else has had the back window shattered due to the use of the defrost setting? Did you call Toyota dealer, or just get a new window through a automotive glass shop? Does insurance cover it as well?...what did you do when that happened?
