Hi, new to this forum, recently bought a 56 plate 2.5 XT Forester after selling my 98 2.5 legacy and after adding cataclean to fuel error code P2444 has appear.  Read through a few North American sites to get some info but a British perspective would be appreciated.

Hi mate welcome to the forums

I would clear the error code 1st see if it returns if you have not done so already, check all your fuses just to be safe I doubt it will be but it's covered :) and relays which is possible.

 

and as I'm sure you have read already what the fault is 

bur here it is again :D

 

P2444 Secondary AIR System Pump Stuck On
Possible Causes

* Check the operation of the secondary
AIR pump relay
*
Check the secondary AIR pump relay for a short to ground condition
* AIR combination valve has failed
* PCM
has failed

Setting Conditions
Engine running; Secondary AIR system active, and the PCM
detected a problem in the operation of the Secondary
AIR Pump (it may be stuck "on").

This code sets in 1 Trip(s).
This code will turn on the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)

Welcome to the Club Mate!

Wotcha and welcome :)

hello to all and thanks for the info.  I'll work my way through the fuses and relays first then follow other steps

I think that's the best place to start mate. Sorry I couldn't have been any more help then that. :)
