Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Inspect secondary air injection pressure sensor connector and wiring for damage or corrosion

2

Step 2: Check sensor reference voltage (typically 5V) at sensor connector with key on

3

Step 3: Measure sensor signal voltage during SAI pump operation and compare to specifications

4

Step 4: Check for restrictions in SAI system including pump filter and check valves

5

Step 5: Test sensor by applying regulated air pressure if possible and monitoring signal voltage

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $450
