I also checked the systems status, and all but 2nd air are pass, which is enough to get me through a smog check here. I don't know why it shows fail on 2nd air, I hear the thing run every cold start for about a minute.
My air pump works fine as well but have the SAI error. Check your oil fill tube. Especially the connections and the underside of the ribbed tube. Mine had cracks. Also those small rubber hoses, straight and L shape that are part of the SAI need to be checked. One of them in my car was almost disintegrated at the bend. Didnt see it until i removed the entire system. Am replacing most if not all parts.
