Using a Multimeter , check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor -V101- electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND) for resistance.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.

If the specification was not obtained:

Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.
If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK:

Replace Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor -V101-.
Erase the DTC memory. Refer to → Diagnostic Mode 04: Reset/delete diagnostic data
Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to →Readiness Code .

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

Replace the MFI Engine Control Module (ECM) J220. Refer to → Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 , replacing .
Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.
