Re: [MBZ] 2011 Mercedes Benz C300: Code P0410 - Secondary Air Injection System Malfunction

My 90E320 throws that code and sometimes on startup it dies after a coupla 
seconds but then restarts and runs OK. The supposed fix is to get under the 
intake manifold and fix some leaking hoses. They are impossible to reach 
without doing that and I’m too lazy to fool with it.

Our E320 has that code.  I know the pump runs.  My brother tells me there's
a sensor, which is how it knows that air pressure is insufficient.  Sensor could
fail, one-way valve could fail, hoses could fail...

For now, it's just a cheery little orange 'hi-there' light on the dash...

FWIW.
Most European cars of that era have secondary air pumps.
The concertina pipes that connect the air pump to the EGR system turn into
Rice Krispies after about 10 years.
Leaky tubes will set an alarm.
YMMV.

[MBZ] 2011 Mercedes Benz C300: Code P0410 - Secondary Air Injection System Malfunction

2021-12-10 Thread Robert Koziak via Mercedes
Hi all,
      My daughter's 2011 C300 (90K)  had a check engine light with a code P0410 
indicating an issue with the secondary air pump.  I replaced the secondary pump 
(which was evidently seized) and reset the code.  Drove it about 50 miles with 
no check engine light so I returned the car and started a vacation about 4 
hours away.
     She drove the car and a few hours ago and the check engine light came back 
with the same code.  Should I have replaced the relay and fuse too?  The fuse 
looked fine when I checked it before the repair.  
     Does anyone have a schematic of the engine fuse box which lists the fuse 
and relay locations?  I can't seem to locate a good one online.  I have the 
fuse and relay so I could have her replace them and reset the code to see if 
that fixes the problem before I return in a week.  
    The secondary air pump was replaced 6 years and 60K ago by the dealer under 
warranty. Is this a common problem?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Bob K
