Got a funny one - kind of
Does anyone know how I can by pass the secondary air system (SAS) on my 2003 Land Rover Discovery II HSE.
Meaning, the air motor is bad and not only is it hard to find one new - used or at all.
Since the motor is bad, it throws a SAS fault.
It is very expensive for something that only goes on for seconds and only at certain temps and times
Not to mention on my older rig not sure the SAS results in any benefit


Any ideas, advice, etc.?
thanks

 

Search the forum for SAI delete - there has been tons of past discussions on this.

 

I have one off my parts truck if you want it.

 

sure how much?

 

Say $25 plus shipping? Shoot me a message with your contact email. I can do Zelle or PayPal and should be able to get it sent this weekend.

 

sure let's give it a try

thanks everyone
yes, a lot on the SAI deletion
appears it will be expensive to remove it
new ECU, fuel pump, plug block hole, etc.
I want the SES light off but don't want to spend a lot of money getting it do to so
So, I will trade with MULLUSC for his used one
if it clears the light, yay
if I continue to have issues, I will take others advice and tape off the light but periodically check for codes to ensure other areas don't need attention.

 

I deleted mine (removed pump, valves, lines. Cut the fittings that go into the head, welded shut, screwed back in) and pulled the cluster apart covered the SES light with some electrical tape. Works fine, don't have to deal with it anymore, and no light (that I can see anyway). Doesn't impact anything, just won't pass emissions in a state that has it
