Standard definition

Secondary Air Injection Pump Stuck On (Bank 2)

This code is in our catalogue but has not yet been through editorial review, so the guidance below is limited to what our structured data supports. We publish deeper diagnostic content only after a code has been reviewed — here is why.

In plain English

Bank 2 secondary air pump runs continuously. Either a stuck-on relay or a shorted control output keeps the pump powered when it should be off.

A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.
