I've had this code too. I waited until the engine was cold. That way on startup the AIR pump would kick in. Opened up the rubber hose on the drivers side that feeds to the rear valve. I put one of those straws on the WD40 can that extends the nozzle. Sprayed some in there. Start car and wait for AIR system to kick in. Turn off car. Do it again. I did it a few times until the engine got warmed up. Clear codes. Lasted a few months before it happened again. When you get sick of it throwing that code then just replace the valve.

They are notorious for failing. I just do the WD40 trick and it shuts up for a few months. When I can take the car off the road I'm going to fix a few things I want done. This included. Good luck.

Yeah unfortunately you do have to. It figures it has to be the part in the back of the engine that you can't reach....
