P2257 - SECONDARY AIR INJECTION (AIR) SYSTEM CONTROL A CIRCUIT LOW
| Description: | The AIR system monitor circuit is low, indicating the secondary AIR pump is off although the secondary AIR pump was commanded on by the powertrain control module (PCM). | |||
| Possible Causes: |
|
|||
| Diagnostic Aids: | The AIR monitor circuit PCM input contains a pull up voltage through a resistance internal to the PCM. This voltage is normally held low by the resistance path through the secondary AIR pump when the secondary AIR pump is off. A single electrical open circuit component such as an AIR relay coil in this multi-component circuit is not detected by the PCM output driver, yet it sets DTC P2257. |
