A P1415 indicates a problem with the A.I.R. System. This code is a common indicator of an electric a.I.R. Injector reactor problem. Sounds complex but it's not. Â Â There are two of these reactors on your engine. They are the black things that the secondary air pipe plugs into at the exhaust pipe/or/exhaust manifold. It is worth changing both of them becauses if one fails the other is not far behind. It is also worth replacing the factory hose clamp with a regular one---you'll see what I mean. BTW--P1415 specificaly indicates a problem with Bank 1 of the A.I.R. System. Make sure both sides of the A.I.R. System are in order--meaning all the hoses are tight and secure--no leaks--cracked hoses ETC.
