The Secondary Air System is an air pump and check valve located behind the drivers side headlight. Just pull up two plastic locks and the whole headlight assembly will come right out and you will see the Secondary Air Pump. This air pump is used to pump air into the exhaust manifold for a minute or so during start up to burn some of the excess hydrocarbons for a little emission control. It has no effect on the smooth running of the engine. The 1998 model did not even have a air pump. It was added to the later models to aid in passing the emission tests. No use wasting money on a fix. Just ignore it if you can. Now, how do I tell the computer to ignore it and turn off the SES light?

Unfortunately ignoring the problem isn't an option in some states. If the SES or "Check Engine" lights are on, in some states, they will not even perform the inspection until it is fixed since it likely has to do with emissions control. Best bet is check websites like rockauto.com or gmpartsdirect.com for discounted parts and get a friendly mechanic to install it for you. Or try a salvage yard.

When I check my manual for code 1676 it states: ODMD Output 6 Circuit Faulty. Can anyone tell me exactly what that actually means and where to look for the problem.

The solenoid on top of the charcoal canister needs to be replaced.

According to my info P1258 is an overheating condition. It says the PCM starts shutting down cylinders in order to cool the engine. Does it run poorly? Is the temp gauge about where it normally is? Mine rarely goes above the 1/2 mark. If everything seems normal, disconnect the negative bat. terminal for a few minutes and reconect it again. This should clear the code, at least temporarily. If the temp. gauge is reading high, you have a cooling system that needs help.

ABS Problem

Has anyone had a problem with your dash lighting up like a Christmas Tree? Sometimes, usually after it's warmed up, the following lights stay on after starting it up: ABS, Service Vehicle Soon, Trac Off, BRAKE, PCS. I had a mechanic scan it when the lights were not on, and he said the only thing in the history was C0550, which is an electronic brake control module (EBCM) malfunction. He thinks this module is failing. Has anyone had one of these replaced? I know it will be expensive. The mechanic guessed about $600.
Thanks.

Before he replaces the EBCM, have him check the wheel hub assembly. The ABS sensors are on the wheel hub assembly and sometimes the sensors fail causing those lights to come on. Unfortunatley, you have to buy the entire wheel assembly. They can be salty. Normally only the ABS, Service Engine soon, Trac Off lights come on with a bad wheel sensor. So your mechanic could be right but the wheel sensor is a very common repair on the Intrigue.
