P0412 - Secondary Air Injection (Air) System - Switching Valve A Circuit

2007 Ford Focus SES, 4D Sedan, StandardSECTION P0412 - Secondary Air Injection (Air) System - Switching Valve A Circuit
P0412 - SECONDARY AIR INJECTION (AIR) SYSTEM - SWITCHING VALVE A CIRCUIT

Description:  On the primary side of the AIR relay, open and short faults on the AIR command circuit are detected during normal operation by the powertrain control module (PCM) output driver.
Possible Causes: 
  • Short to voltage or ground in the AIR command circuit
  • Open in the AIR command circuit
  • AIR bypass solenoid fault
  • AIR relay fault
Diagnostic Aids:  For intermittent faults use the AIR PCM output driver fault PID (AIRF) during a harness wiggle test with the AIR PCM output driver in OFF and ON states. The AIR PCM output driver fault PID AIRF instantly detects open circuits and shorts to ground with the PCM output driver off. The AIR PCM output driver fault PID AIRF instantly detects open circuits and shorts to ground with the PCM output driver off. The AIR PCM output driver fault PID AIRF instantly detects a short to voltage or low resistance load with the PCM output driver on. Use the output test mode to toggle the PCM output driver from OFF to ON.
