2004 325i w/210,000 miles.
Tried searching around and didn't find much on this specific DTC. I've been doing a lot of work on my car to get it running well and ready for state inspection. The last major problem was clogged cats, which has been resolved, however now I have an MIL for P2430 after doing the cat work.
This code is for the SAP (P2430: Secondary Air Injection System Air Flow/Pressure Sensor Circuit), which was removed for the exhaust replacement. After replacing the exhaust I test drove the car a few times before putting the SAP back in. I had two SAP codes at the time which I ignored since it wasn't connected.
Now after reinstalling and connecting the SAP I've had the P2430 persist. At first I thought it may resolve after a few cold starts, but that hasn't happened. It seems this code indicates a bad signal from the secondary MAF? I guess it's possible I damaged it taking it in and out but I had taken the SAP in and out many times before over the last several weeks and never had a code until this last time so thinking that it is unlikely.
Checked wiring harness, etc. and made sure it was good and clean, and seating tightly into the secondary MAF.
Any thoughts?
