VW
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) P0410, P0411, and P1423
Eric Seifert, Automotive Technical Editor
I unlocked the shop door this morning to find
an envelope in the early bird box. One of our regular customers
had dropped off his 2000 VW ® Beetle ®. Chris had called
me a week prior stating that the car was making a hissing noise
and that the check engine light was on. I remembered a similar situation
with a 1999 Jetta ® that we solved pretty easily. On the Jetta,
the hissing and trouble code were caused by a cracked vacuum hose.
After retrieving a P0411 from the Beetle’s computer, I started
visually checking the vacuum lines. Sure enough, the vacuum hose
from the brake booster to the secondary air inlet valve had broken
in half.
The most common
trouble codes or P Codes associated with broken or cracked vacuum
hoses are: P0410 Secondary air injection (AIR) system malfunction,
P0411 Secondary air injection (AIR) system incorrect flow detected
or P1423 Secondary air injection (AIR) system throughput too small.
This straightforward fix will require (1) VW P/N: 1JM 133 001 vacuum
hose.
