Causes
- Open or shorted wiring to the secondary air flow/sensor for bank 1
- Corroded, damaged or disconnected sensor connector
- Failed secondary air flow sensor or flow meter
- Faulty secondary air injection pump, relay or fuse (no supply to sensor or pump)
- Blocked/failed SAI plumbing or check valve causing abnormal sensor reading
- Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) or poor ECM ground (less common)
Symptoms
- MIL/Check Engine Light illuminated
- Possible failed emissions test
- Reduced or disabled secondary air injection function on cold start
- Possible rough cold idle or increased emissions during cold start
- Stored or pending related SAI codes (may see pump/valve related codes)
What to check
- Read and record freeze-frame and all stored codes; check pending codes for related SAI faults
- Perform visual inspection of sensor connector and harness for corrosion, water ingress, chafing or damage
- Check relevant fuses and relays for SAI pump and sensor power/ECU supply
- With ignition ON, check for 5 V reference and good ground at the sensor connector
- Command the SAI pump/valve (if supported) and verify pump operation and 12 V supply to pump
- Inspect SAI plumbing, check valve and hoses for blockage, collapsed hose or leaks
Signal parameters
- Sensor supply/reference: ~5 V reference (verify with service data)
- Signal voltage range: 0–5 V (low/near 0 V = circuit bottom/short to ground)
- Expected idle/flow signal: variable depending on flow; should not be a constant 0.0 V when system is commanded
- Pump supply: ~12 V when ECM commands the air pump (check with DVOM)
- Connector/ECM pin continuity: near 0 ohms between sensor ground and chassis ground
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve freeze frame and all related/previous codes; note conditions when code set (engine temp, RPM, etc.).
- Visual inspection: check sensor connector, wiring harness, for corrosion, damage, water entry or pin push-out. Repair any visible damage.
- Check fuses/relays for the SAI pump and any ECM reference circuits; replace if blown or faulty.
- With ignition ON (engine OFF) backprobe the sensor connector: verify reference voltage (~5 V), signal voltage (should not be stuck at 0 V unless system is off), and ground continuity to chassis. Record readings.
- Command SAI pump/valve using scan tool (if capable). Verify pump receives 12 V and runs. If pump does not run but receives voltage, suspect pump fault; if no voltage, trace relay/fuse/ECM output.
- If reference or signal missing, check continuity from sensor pins to ECM pins for opens/shorts. Repair wiring as required. Check for short to ground on signal wire.
- If wiring and power/ground are good but signal remains low, replace the secondary air flow sensor/flow meter and retest.
- After repairs clear codes and perform a verification drive/operation cycle to confirm the fault does not return. If it does, consider ECU/ground integrity or professional diagnostics.
Likely causes
- Damaged sensor connector or pin(s) shorted to ground
- Broken wire between sensor and ECM causing low/0V signal
- Failed secondary air flow sensor itself
- Missing 5 V reference or ground from ECM due to blown fuse or relay
- SAI pump not running so flow = 0 and sensor reports low (or the plumbing is blocked)
