What is the drive cycle for monitor re secondary air pump?

Thank you, this is helpful. It's a long sad story. I bought the car from a used car dealer and he didn't tell me that the car passed inspection with one monitor (relevant for P0410 -- secondary air pump) "Not ready". Sure enough, the Check Engine light came on after 2 days (20 miles driving?). I have tried to get it fixed, spent about $2,500 on it and now am being told that there is so much carbon built up that I'd need to have the heads cleaned -- a repair that would cost thousands of dollars. A helpful person at the NYS DMV told me that it was not legal for a dealer to withhold this information but since I am keeping the car, being a private person seeking NYS Inspection, it'd be OK to have one monitor not being ready (it's always the same error code). I called inspection station here and they confirmed but they said that they would have to reset the error code, then drive for a while (they didn't know the "drive cycle" off hand), then bring it back, and if indeed it was just this one monitor (with the light NOT on yet), I'd pass the test. Most of the time, I can drive for 20 miles (with cold start), then the light comes on. One rare exception, I drove for 400 miles on one day (so only one cold start in the morning) until the light came back on. I am not sure if the 10-15 miles would be OK before returning to the inspection station. In this context the mechanic had brought up the drive cycle. Maybe I misunderstood.

good luck with it and shame on the person that sold it to you and knew this was going to happen!!!
