I love it when Forum members post an answer with parts numbers and a diagram. Thank you !
It is a great service to all of us struggling with SAI CEL codes. As another poster mentioned ,you need the ROW reflash to prevent the CEL illuminating.
The remaining uncertainty for those in any State using California-type Smog Test equipment is how to be sure the Test does not identify a modified/tampered emissions component. That is an immediate Fail+Gross Polluter+Purgatory.
Ironically the SAI is not fitted in many very "green" countries ,so don't worry about destroying the Planet. It only operates for a few minutes on warm-up - - that is when it works correctly .
