DTC P2257: Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System Control A Circuit Low

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
P2257 - SECONDARY AIR INJECTION (AIR) SYSTEM CONTROL A CIRCUIT LOW

Description:  The AIR system monitor circuit is low, indicating the electrical AIR pump is off although the electrical AIR pump was commanded on by the powertrain control module (PCM).
Possible Causes: 
  • Open B+ circuit
  • Open VPWR circuit
  • Open voltage circuit between the AIR relay and the AIR pump
  • Damaged AIR relay
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 AIR pump when the pump is off.
A single electrical open circuit component such as an AIR relay coil in this multi-component circuit will not be detected by the PCM output driver, yet it will create DTC P2257.
