P0411: Secondary Air Injection (Air) System Upstream Flow

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2004 Mercury Sable, 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, 2004 Mercury Monterey, 2004 Mercury Marauder, and 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0411 - SECONDARY AIR INJECTION (AIR) SYSTEM UPSTREAM FLOW

Description:  The secondary air injection system does not detect the presence of air in the exhaust when introduced by the secondary air injection system.
Possible Causes: 
  • AIR bypass solenoid circuit open.
  • AIR bypass solenoid leaking/blocked or stuck open/closed.
  • Electric AIR pump - no/low air flow.
  • AIR diverter valve leaking/blocked or stuck open/closed.
  • AIR air hoses restricted or leaking.
  • AIR vacuum hoses restricted or leaking.
Diagnostic Aids:  In order to test the AIR pump, it must be capable of driving the HO2S lean. A single electrical circuit open, such as an AIR bypass solenoid, in this multi-component circuit will not be detected by a PCM output driver circuit, yet it will create DTC P0411.
