Secondary Air Injection Sensor 1 -G609-, Checking

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi S5, 2016 Audi S5, 2016 Audi S4, 2015 Audi S5, and 2015 Audi S4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

General Description

The secondary air injection system blows air into the exhaust on a cold-start of the engine for 45 - 100 seconds and serves to quickly heat the catalytic converter(s) for improved emissions. A pressure based secondary air diagnostic function is used. In this system, the signal from the Secondary Air Injection Sensor 1 -G609- is evaluated by the Engine Control Module -J623-.
