On cold starts the air pump running duration is TEMP dependent, ie; the colder the engine is the longer the pump should run. The second running is ONLY for diagnostic purposes. Should run aprox 10-15 seconds to check the system. MB scanners can activate that system & a good technician can diagnose the results.
