Coincidentally is that every time I do something proactive, ie: replaced the O2 sensors a week or two before this SES light went on, I get something discouraging.  My X5 just made to the 100K mark so I thought I'd take care of it.
Oh yeah, I also replaced the Spark Plugs and that does seems to restore a bit power lost over time and reduced the quick/sudden acceleration that I've experienced sometimes. |
I had the same thing happened to my X5. I had to replaced the sensor twice. The first time, it only lasted about a year. The second has lasted me over 5 years. Before replacing anything, try to clean the valve. I also got the P1419 code once, cleaned the valve and it went away for a couple of days. At that time, I figured that the valve was too dirty inside and was going to keep getting stuck. I decided to replace it and I haven't gotten the P1410 code for over 4 years.
