Default OBD Trouble Code P0410...

Hi All,

First of all, thenks to the respondants who told me just where the OBD-II plug was located under my dash! Duhhh. I shoul have looked closer

Now, I plugged in my OBD-II reader and switched on the ignition and got the trouble code back P0410 - Secondary Air Injection System Malfunction.

When I unplugged the OBD-II reader and restarted the car, the check engine light went out! I didn't reset the system, it went out on it's own......... I won't be surprised if it comes back on again also on its own!

So, I went online here and did some quick research on this and it seems like one of those error codes that can be caused by about ten thousands unrelated reasons.

Now, my issue is this: I have had this car in my possession for about 24 hours and have never yet added gasoline. So, who knows what grade gas is in the tank.... One of the reasons given on this forum that could in theory cause the light to come on is too low octane gasoline. Is this for real? I also read about a potential issue with a relay control module that could trigger the trouble code.

Can some of you who have the knowledge in this car give me a little background on this code and typical causes (and remedies)?

At the end of the day, the dealer is responsible to correct this check engine light (it is writen into the sale agreement) but I'm such a cynic when it comes to dealers that they might just try clearing the code and calling it a day rather than actually sourcew the trouble and fix it. So I would like to educte myself on this condition.

Also, I have to get the car inspected within 10 days of receiving my permanent license plates, and if the check engine light is on in my state its an automatic fail. So I have an incentive to have it off!

The car has been running PERFECTLY, no problems whatsoever so it is not causing any kind of issue. And I'm hoping this is not one of those things in which the dealer could **** things up even worse.

All said, what say you Crossfire experts??????

Thanks,
-George-
