Is the secondary air injection system incorrect flow?

P0411-Secondary Air Injection System Incorrect Flow Detected… DTC P0411 P0137 P2096 P0301 P2270 are all showing up. So far I have replaced the Down stream Oxygen sensor and the secondary air intake control valve.

What is the p0411 secondary air injection code?

Other secondary air injection system trouble codes include P0410, P0412, P0413, P0414, P0415, P0416, P0417, P0418, P0419, P041F, P044F, P0491, and P0492. Symptoms of a P0411 DTC may include: Backfiring in the exhaust under hard acceleration Engine running rich (This is counter-intuitive. See explanation below)

How does the air injection system self check?

To self-check, the AIR system will be activated by the PCM and fresh air would be routed into the exhaust system. The oxygen sensors would sense this fresh air as a lean condition and the short term fuel trims would begin to move in the positive direction to compensate.

What is the DTC for secondary air injection?

P0411 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Secondary Air Injection System Incorrect Flow Detected”. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation. Our certified mobile mechanics can come to your home or office to perform the Check Engine Light diagnostic.

When does the secondary air pump kick in?

After around 5 – 10 seconds, you may hear the secondary air pump start, its sounds is similar to a vacuum cleaner running under the hood. When the pump kicks in, the O2 sensor voltage should go to less than 125mV.

Why do you need a secondary air system?

The secondary air system supplies fresh air to the exhaust stream to reduce emissions through oxidation. Many systems also help bring the catalytic converter up to operating temperature quickly when the engine is first started.

What is the p0411 code for secondary air injection?

The PCM monitors the secondary air injection system for faults. If it detects a problem, it turns on the check engine light and triggers a P0411 code. It’s worth noting that not all vehicles have a secondary air injection system. Users have reported P0411 for the following makes: Volkswagen (especially on a VW Jetta), Chevrolet, BMW, GMC, and Audi.
