I came across 3.3.1 and have a question about it. The guideline says if an eror is detected it will be declared to the user in text. My question is, when it says eror 404 the page cannot be found does this pass the test?

You might need to back up a phrase in the success criteria. 3.3.1 says,
"If an input error is automatically detected..."
So it's talking about input errors, not bad URL references. So if you fill
in a form with errors and submit, any errors detected need to be described
in text. You can't just outline the fields in error in red.
If you have a bad link on your page, causing a 404 error, that's just a
functional problem with your link. It doesn't fall under WCAG.
