P1416 DTC Code - Driver or Passenger Side Exh Valve?
Have P1416 codes and have read about replacing / cleaning the check valves. Does anyone know if P1416 is drivers side or passengers side valve? Code list I have just says secondary. Thanks.

Its the passenger side valve behind the drivers side head and a bitch to get to replacing. I just clean mine and it does just fine for a month. Also if I let the car warm up to 120 degrees water temp before driving off the code does not come up.

Thanks ... I was afraid that Bank 2 meant passenger side or the one behind the intake ... not reachable.
I bought extended warranty so will try to see if GM will cover it.
I might try to clean it with WD 40 and air as I have read about in other posts.
Always appreciate the support.

Mine of course is covered under warranty, but no way in hell am I letting a gm tech pull off my intake and all related stuff to replace it as 99% of the time they will mess something else up (speaking of a couple past experiences). Ive dealt with warranty issues in the past and have learned to do it myself instead of trusting anyone else to do it right.
I really don't care about the code for this anyway and just reset it when it lights up now.
