Re: Secondary air injection system fault code?

The AIR system on this vehicle runs at cold start. The PCM runs a couple tests on the system to verify proper operation and air flow.
The DTC # would be the most useful information and tell us what test failed.
The AIR pump should pump air to the solenoid mounted above the exhaust manifold during a cold start.
The solenoid valve should not have exhaust gas "blowing back" into it with the engine running (usually 60 seconds after cold start)
Post the DTC........
