Many thanks to Jason R for this very well documented How To. Great photos, good writing. This took Jason R a good while to put together I'm sure. Here's one photo of 17 (!) from it:

Brought my 850 to the dealer as the engine light would not go out. Dealer wanted $710 to replace the air pump and SAS valve. I found the air pump location thanks to Jason R & Matt. However, I cannot seem to find the SAS valve. I figured I would spend the money on a new SAS valve first and then proceed to possibly find an aftermarket air pump. Any help out there would be well appreciated. It's my first time on the site. I look forward to any replies.
Thank you, John
