Hey gents, I'm getting a P0411 code.

A little backstory (I'll try to be brief), went to Willow Springs, went off the track and hit a massive pile of dirt and broke my air pump which gave me a P0410 code (only that one, no other). Replaced the pump and the blown fuse to get rid of that code but now I'm getting the P0411. The incident also pushed back the entire core support so a tube could be pinched, but from what I can see, nothing looks to be pinched much, if at all.

One a side note, if I can't get this resolved soon, I need to get my S smogged so I can get my tabs. If the light only comes on during a cold start and I can reset it. Will it pass smog if it's at operating temp? If so, what's the drive cycle for S2k's?

Thanks!

Made a video so you can hear what sounds it's making. Sounds pretty nasty

It depends how your state does emissions, you will most likely fail. You can't just reset the ECU to clear the light and immediately go to emissions because it will read "not ready." I believe the air pump CEL requires 2 cold starts to come on, so you may be able to get around it if enough of the readiness monitors are set.

I already went in knowing it would fail because I needed an extension on my registration to fix this but yeah, they told me it wasn't ready because I had just reset it that morning. The guy told me the average time it takes to be ready is about 150 miles, but I've been told it's less for some cars, maybe 25 miles.

I've been tossing around the idea of getting one of those. I've heard a lot of people really dig them. Just not sure if it will pass California emissions if I use that. If the pump is still physically there and passes a visual inspection, is there any way for them to tell that I have the simulator on there?

It will pass. The only way they would know is if they popped the panel over the ECU (highly unlikely) and saw the sticker on the simulator. With the sticker off, they wouldn't even know what they were looking at.

Well, I'll find out, just ordered one Thanks for the info!

Like Nate said, you should have no problem passing. However, many of my customers have left the plumbing (i.e. air pump hoses and vacuum lines) attached to pass the "visual inspection".

Your order will go out today.
