After replace of secondary air injection pump and clean of valve/hose


Recommended Posts

Replaced the pump bank 2 with new OEM one. Cleaned out the valve and hose.

Reset the car to clear the CEL.

That was about 5 days ago. Today, CEL back on.

Checked and same error was on - P0492.

Rechecked hose connection, clear.

Rechecked electrical connection and cleaned with contact cleaner and blew dry. Check.

Reset system again.

Any ideas on what could be going on here? Is there a fuse for air pumps that could be bad from when blades were all broken up?

Help is needed and greatly appreciated.

got the sucker.

Located fuse in manual for secondary air pumps.
They are located in engine compartment (next to brake fluid reservoir).
Open the lid, and look for:
Fuse 3 - sec. air pump bank 1 (pass side)
Fuse 4 - sec. air pump bank 2 (driver side)

Mine was bank 2 (driver). Pulled out and seemed OK until I looked very closely and observed black residue on inside of plastic cover.
Checked with ohmmeter and confirmed lack of continuity. Fuse blown.
Checked fuse 3 and confirmed it is OK with Ohmmeter (near zero resistance).

So now I will have to hunt down a 40A fuse for this sucker to confirm the final fix.

Moral of the story - check your fuse too.
