P1413

Moderate

Secondary Air Injection Pump Relay Control Circuit Signal Low

What Does P1413 Mean?

The secondary air injection pump relay control circuit has detected a low voltage signal. The PCM is unable to properly control the air pump relay due to insufficient voltage in the control circuit.

Common Causes

35%

Failed secondary air injection pump relay

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Locate secondary air pump relay and inspect connector for corrosion or damage

2

Step 2: Test relay function by swapping with identical relay if available, or bench test with power and ground

3

Step 3: Check voltage at relay control terminal with key on, engine running (should see 12V when commanded)

4

Step 4: Test wiring continuity between PCM and relay, check for shorts to ground

5

Step 5: If wiring and relay are good, suspect PCM driver circuit failure

Estimated Repair Cost

$100 - $350
