Throwing AIR code, how to pass inspection?

[War Theory]

ok done took like 10 mins I switched out the pass/sidedoor so this will help with the 0410 problem right>? Now I seat back and wait......to think them fucker's wanted to charge me 94 to do it.

Must be Hulk Hogan installed ours at the factory. I had the largest adjustable wrench and pipe wrench in my tool collection on them and they would not budge. I was afraid of snapping the air tube, so I didn't get too crazy until I had them off the car.

Did you erase the code to reset your SES?

[War Theory]

yea now i must wait...

Here is the problem with that analogy, In the state of California, you have to have your vehicle smogged, it is the law, if you do not correct the problem with the vehicle, the code is stored in the PCM memory "WHETHER OR NOT THE LIGHT IS ON". After you correct the problem and clear the code to shut the light off, "THE CODE STILL STAYS IN THE MEMORY" for at least 2 driving cycles (I do not know how long the cycles are), which I believe are milage driven.

In conclusion, if you do not correct the problem, you wont pass smog, if you do correct the problem, you need to go through 2 driving cycles before getting the vehicle reinspected.

Not technically correct statements. If you clear the codes they are gone from the memory, no longer stored. What happens is the OBD system does not show "readiness" which means you will not pass the test. Had a customer today drive her Honda Odyssey 60 miles today (after we erased the code) which gave the system "readiness" to be tested and she passed. However when she first showed up we read the codes first and showed a "pending" misfire code. The light wasn't on because it was a "pending" code, meaning it needed to happen again before the light came on or made a full failure code available in the memory. Just to be safe we erased the codes again and she went on another 60 mile drive (I know I wish I had that much time on my hands lol) to reset the readiness monitor. Then after all that we redid the emmissions OBDII test and she passed finally. Then she had the priviledge of standing in line to get her plates.....

I replaced the pass/side one and got the code again so I get another one for the driver side I hope this does it...just waiting now

I replaced both at the same time. Upon disassembly, they both looked pretty munched. Our SES has not been back on since.

[War Theory]

I hope I can say the same still waiting for all codes to be ready

[War Theory]

just checked my car with my handy dandy Mac Et105 and everything is ready but 2 monitors the sec air, and the evap sys are both not ready... what is the cycle for both to kick in? I need to do my emisson very soon can this fail me?

[War Theory]

can a p0410 code fail my car ???

[2000dreambird]

Yes mine just failed for it I need a new air pump

[DaddySS]

just for information:


The AIR runs when you first start the car to inject air into the exhaust and help to heat the cats up and get them working sooner. It runs for less than a minute when the car first starts. The two check valves on the manifolds are to allow the air to pass into the manifold but prevent exhaust from getting into the system when the pump is not running.

[War Theory]

I did both valves and the light did not come on but when I check witht he hand held it says 0410 sec air ---malfunction think i need to buy a pump....

With the engine cold, disconnect the hose on top of the driver side wheelhouse at the union. Start the engine and you should have air blowing from the hose coming up from the front of the vehicle. If you do, the air pump is working just fine. Note that this test may trigger the SES or set a pending code.

[02z28ls1]

I could be wrong but, if the light isn't on then you have a pending code. Some of those testers don't differentiate between a pending code or show it as a pending code, some do. A pending code is not a flunk on the OBDII test until it becomes a full fledged trouble code, thereby turning on the light.
The non readiness of the evap system could be a bigger problem because it's self test cycle is hard to trigger. I don't believe you need to trigger that however to get readiness, just need to wrack up some miles of city cycle and hiway driving.

I need a new pump I cleared the codes and did the emissons and failed because of the readness so I ordered a pump about 200 even from GM and will be putting it in first thing tomorrow

Did you check fuses, relays and wire connections before ordering?

[War Theory]

I did check the fuses, valves, where are the relays?

Does key starts play a role in all of this?

[pajeff02]

Driver side front corner of engine compartment. The relay is clearly labeled.

thanks will check em today
