So test the gold colored metal part on the left. Ignore the black plastic sensor, for now. The solenoid connector underneath has 2 wires. Disconnect it and bring it to your workbench. When NO power is applied, you should NOT be able to blow air through it. When 12V is applied across the 2 pins, it should CLICK and then you EASILY should be able to blow air through it. THe solenoid itself looks like this:
Sorry dude, good thing I did not progress fyrtøjer before Consulting here 😄 I will test this later 😊

Alright cvar!

Tester it right know it clicks but I am not able to blow through it

I can't deattach the hose between sensor and solenoid without breaking the hose possible
I a assume that's a open circuit.

It's quite rusted! New solenoid?

Well, there's your problem! You found it. Yay! Replace the solenoid. It has two rubber hoses that just pull off. I'd replace the hoses too, if they're no longer flexible.

Solenoid cost me $42 (BWD part # CP505) at my local Advance Auto Parts store.

Swapped in the new solenoid!

CEL is gone! Have went through 6-7 cycles and 100-150km so I reckon it's fixed!

1 less light in the dash :P
