Title pretty much says it all. My 2000 2.7T A6 had the check engine light come on yesterday. I took it to Autozone today to get the code read and I got a P1411 - Bank 2 secondary air injection system output too small. I searched around in the forums here and it seems this refers to my emissions. My big question, is it safe to drive still, especially long distances. I am moving across the country in 2 weeks and will be driving this car. I am wondering if this code has any sort of noticeable effects other than me possibly failing emissions (Don't care, my state doesn't test any more ).

Perfectly safe. SAI pump only operates while the cats are warming up anyway.

Holy crap, what state is that?!

I know a lot of counties in TX don't do emissions inspections, and i was under the impression that oklahoma doesn't have vehicle inspections at all.

Ohio, where I'll be moving to in a couple weeks. Used to have echeck, but they got rid of it a couple years ago.

They still have it in a couple of counties, like Cuyahoga.

MN used to, but not no more

Lol, Cleveland probably needs it. Can't argue that one.

It could simply be the tube which links the output from the pump - look for it behind the heads between the two exhaust manifold air injectors - they have a round tin cap about 2" in diameter. It is a push fit with a clip mech to hold it in. There is an elbow/T piece onto the pump.

Pump routinely fail and in CT you would fail emissions for CEL light. Swap is not difficult if it is the pump.
