SOURCE: Secondary air supply failure

Have the same problem on a 2004 envoy.  Was told by my very reliable mechanic that the cause for this is the pump being exposed to the element too much, and it shorts out eventually, a very common problem with this car.  Apparently the pump is on the chassis driver side and can easily be removed and replaced, and when removed, a person can hook a 12 volt battery directly to the pump to test if it's working or not before unnecessarily replacing a good part. This part is for emissions only and it's failure does not affect engine performance or milage.

Take it to a mechanic... :P

On a more serious note, though, check any of the intake manifolds for cracks or loose bolts, then have someone reset the EC error messages. If it happens again then worry about it, if not then don't! Often enough cars will post crazy messages just to annoy you, not because there's anything wrong :p

By having it scanned and cleared with an OBD tool. This light comes on when it detects a problem. Could be a bad gas cap, or it could be a misfiring engine. The code you get from having it scanned will pinpoint the trouble area

SOURCE: 2001 oldsmobile intrigue secondary air injection

get yourself a wiring diagram to see what powers up the relay, it is a fuse, have you checked the fuses? also these pumps short out and that is why it is not working and blown out the circuit, replace it before you do anthing, also remember that the pump is powered up by the PCM only during cold start, so 99% of the time it has no power to it.

Testimonial: "very helpful, the valves were the problem vacuum leak inside very small but your advice was appreciared and helped me, GM supplied me with bulletins t"

Still having problems will not run good. 1997 ford 2.0 escort;new plugs&wires coil;fuel pump still codes 0351;

From a reputable repair website:


P0351 - OBD-II Trouble Code

Auto Systems and Repair

Ignition Coil "A" Circuit Primary/Secondary Malfunction Our emissions expert has put together the following information about the P0351 fault code. We have also included diagnostic procedures you can take to your repair shop if the mechanic is having difficulty analyzing the code.
OBD II Fault Code
  • OBD II P0351 Ignition Coil "A" Circuit Primary/Secondary Malfunction
What does this mean? The ignition coil or coils are responsible for igniting the air/fuel mixture inside the combustion chambers. Without reliable performance from the ignition coil(s) the vehicle will stumble and misfire.
Code P0351 indicates there's an electrical problem in either the primary ( the computer side ) or the secondary ( the spark plug side ) of the Ignition Coil "A" Circuit.
Symptoms
  • Check Engine Light will illuminate
  • Engine idles rough
  • Engine misfires on acceleration
  • In rare cases, the engine may not exhibit noticeable symptoms
Common Problems That Trigger the P0351 Code
  • Defective Ignition Coil(s)
  • Defective Spark Plug(s)
  • Intake Manifold Vacuum leaks
  • Carbon buildup in the Throttle Body air passages
  • Defective Idle Air Control Valve or Electronic Body
Common Misdiagnosis
  • Ignition coil(s) replaced when cause of the malfunction was a vacuum leak
  • Spark Plugs replaced when cause of the malfunction was a vacuum leak

My check engine light is on on a Mercedes S 320 1996. The Computer says it is the Secondary Air pump. My mechanic said it might be the valves. Does anyone know what is the real problem ? If I replace the...

First what he needs to look at is whether or not the secondary air injection(air pump)is turning on. Works like an A/C compressor with a clutch. Commonly what happens is that moisture builds up in the pump itself and cuases it to sieze up. Have him check the pump first then make sure the check valves are good working order. He should be able to hook an OBD 2 scanner to this and be able to retrieve codes. If he says that's not possible, he does not know what he is doing. It's a '96. The OBD2 compliance became standard in '95. If you need further assistance, please let me know. These are great cars!!
