Error Code P1423

[FastM]

Check engine light came on with Emission Workshop displayed. Error code was P1296. I replaced the coolant temperature sensor. Light came back on and now the error code is P1423. What does this signify? Emission workshop is also on. Car is 2000 V6 Passat. Car runs fine.

That's a code for low flow on the secondary air injection system. A starting point would be to check the vacuum & pressure hoses at the pump to see if any are cracked or loose. If they're okay then you need to run voltage to the pump to be sure it works. The pump is on the left (car's left)rear of the engine, left of the cylinder head.

You would have to have the air bag system's codes read. Most often the ABS power failure is not that a fuse is blown & usually the system has power, just the module is dead. I've heard about fixing bad solder connections inside, but never tried it myself.
