  • After a cold engine start, all conditions are met (2 trip detection logic):


    1. Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system is operating (air pump on, air switching valve on).

    2. Diagnostic signal from the air injection control driver is 20%.

    3. Battery voltage is 8 V or higher.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The air injection control driver detects open and short circuits according to the voltages of the air pump terminal (VB) and the air switching valve terminal (VV), and transmits diagnostic information as a signal to the ECM.

For a short time after a cold engine start, the ECM transmits command signals to the air injection control driver to drive the air pump and air switching valve assembly.

The air injection control driver transmits an air pump malfunction signal to the ECM if either of the following conditions is met:


The ECM stored the DTC based on diagnostic signals from the air injection control driver.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

Diagnostic information output by the air injection control driver can be confirmed by connecting an oscilloscope to the diagnostic information terminal of the air injection control driver. Reading the waveform while performing the AIR system forced operation provided in the system check allows the possible trouble areas to be narrowed down.

Tech Tips


  • By using the intelligent tester to perform the Secondary Air Injection Check operation in the system check, the air-fuel ratio and the pressure in the secondary air injection system passage can be checked while the secondary air injection system is operating. This helps technicians to troubleshoot the system when it malfunctions.

  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR PUMP ASSEMBLY - AIR INJECTION CONTROL DRIVER, AIR INJECTION CONTROL DRIVER - BATTERY)


    1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

    2. Disconnect the cable from the positive (+) battery terminal.

    3. Disconnect the air pump connector.

    4. Disconnect the air injection control driver connector.

    5. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A18-2 - A17-2 (VP) Always Below 1 Ω
      A17-1 (BATT) - Positive battery terminal Always Below 1 Ω
      A18-4 - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A18-2 or A17-2 (VP) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A17-1 (BATT) or Positive battery terminal - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
    6. Reconnect the air injection control driver connector.

    7. Reconnect the air pump connector.

    8. Reconnect the cable to the positive (+) battery terminal.

    9. Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

  4. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS


    1. Start the engine and warm it up.

    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

    3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on.

    5. Clear DTCs (if stored)

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Secondary Air injection check / Automatic Mode.

    7. Start the engine after the intelligent tester initialization is finished.

    8. Perform the system check operation by pressing Next.

    9. After operating the AIR system, perform the following to confirm the AIR system pending codes: Press the Exit button.

    10. Check pending DTCs.

      OK
      No pending DTC is output.
    11. Turn the ignition switch off.

      Note


      • When performing the Secondary Air Injection Check operation after the battery cable has been reconnected, wait for 7 minutes with the ignition switch turned to ON or the engine running.

      • Turn the ignition switch off when the Secondary Air Injection Check operation finishes.
