SAI Pump diagnostics with Durametric,Bentley and Multimeter - FAILED !

[itsnotanova]

I know the sai is an emissions device and technically needs to work to pass smog. If you bring a warm car to get smog checked, how are they going to know it's not working? Is it throwing a code?

...between the alternator and the Maxi Fuse - “14 X59” – is this the ignition switch ? I can’t find any explanation in Bentley of 14X59 – anyone know what it is?

That refers to pin 14 of connector X59.
X59 is one of the large connectors in the left firewall in the trunk. The white one I think.






Any chance that your DME is ROW?

When the battery is disconnected everything clears including Emissions readiness flags. The SAI has to run at least once to set its "Ready" flag, that's how "they" block people from disconnecting the battery right before going to the emissions check.

Clearing the Readiness codes with a code reader or Durametric also does not work - they remain Pending and are detected when connected to the SMog Test machine=automatic Fail !
