  • Rough running at cold start

Common causes

  • Faulty secondary air pressure sensor
  • Wiring or connector fault at sensor
  • Blocked or leaking air hose

  2. Inspect secondary air sensor wiring and connector
  3. Test sensor signal voltage with scan tool
  4. Inspect air hoses and pump operation
