Default Engine Light - Secondary Air Injection System Question (P0411)

A couple days ago the engine light of my 99.5 2.8QM went on. I pulled the codes, and there were two:

P0332 - Knock Sensor 2 Circuit - Low Input (Bank 2)
P0411 - Secondary Air Injection System - Incorrect flow detected.

I looked up the secondary air injection system on the Bentley manual and searched the forums and thought I probably had a loose vacuum line or perhaps the air injunction pump motor went out. I have not done anything about it yet.

But this morning the light went off. I am new to Audis, so can anyone tell me why the light would go on then off? Now that it is off, does it mean the secondary air induction system is operating properly now?

Thanks for the help.

Default Even if the light goes off...the problem is very likely still there.

So unfortunately, you need to fix it.

Default What prompts the light to go off? Also how important

is it to fix this system right away?

New tags are still almost two years away.

Default 2ndary air and knock sensor will effect driveablity of your car..and the CEL has a 3-day cycle

before it will turn itself out and then come back on as a reminder, or unless another DTC propmpts sooner action.

Default Are Seconday Air and Knock Sensor Related?

Is there a reason they both came at once?

Default No.

I don't see any correlation here.
