DESCRIPTION
Refer to P2440 Click here.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P2444 P2446 |
The secondary air pressure is 2.4 kPa (18 mmHg) or more despite the ECM commanding the air pump to turn off (2 trip detection logic). |
|
| P2445 P2447 |
The secondary air pressure is less than 2.4 kPa (18 mmHg) despite the ECM commanding the air pump to turn on (2 trip detection logic). |
|
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM monitors the pressure in the secondary air passage using the pressure sensor located on the Air Switching Valve (ASV) of the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system. The sensor measures the pressure in the secondary air passage and transmits a signal to the ECM.
If either of the following conditions occurs, the ECM interprets it as a malfunction of the AIR system, illuminates the MIL and stores DTC(s):
The pressure indicated by the pressure sensor does not reach threshold levels despite the ECM turning on the air pump.
The pressure indicated by the pressure sensor exceeds threshold levels despite the ECM turning off the air pump.

Tech Tips
Determination by ECM monitoring:
The ECM locates malfunctions in the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system by detecting the pressure in the AIR passage between the air pump and Air Switching Valve (ASV) and stores DTC(s). Soon after a cold engine start, the monitor runs for a short time while the AIR system is both ON and OFF. The ECM detects both the pressure and the exhaust pulsation and compares them.
The following 8 patterns are AIR system pressure conditions in the AIR system passage.
| Air Pump | ON |
| Air Switching Valve | Open |
| Pressure | 2.4 kPa or higher |
| Pulsation Detection | Exhaust gas pulsation detected |
| Air Pump | OFF |
| Air Switching Valve | Open |
| Pressure | Below 2.4 kPa |
| Pulsation Detection | Exhaust gas pulsation detected |
| Air Pump | ON |
| Air Switching Valve | Closed |
| Pressure | 2.4 kPa or higher |
| Pulsation Detection | Exhaust gas pulsation not detected |
| Air Pump | OFF |
| Air Switching Valve | Close |
| Pressure | Below 2.4 kPa |
| Pulsation Detection | Exhaust gas pulsation not detected |
| Air Pump | ON |
| Air Switching Valve | Open |
| Pressure | 2.4 kPa or higher |
| Pulsation Detection | Exhaust gas pulsation detected |
| Air Pump | OFF |
| Air Switching Valve | Open |
| Pressure | Below 2.4 kPa |
| Pulsation Detection | Exhaust gas pulsation detected |
| Air Pump | ON |
| Air Switching Valve | Closed |
| Pressure | 2.4 kPa or higher |
| Pulsation Detection | Exhaust gas pulsation not detected |
| Air Pump | OFF |
| Air Switching Valve | Close |
| Pressure | Below 2.4 kPa |
| Pulsation Detection | Exhaust gas pulsation not detected |
If the detected pressure is high, the air pump is assumed to be ON and if it alternates sharply, the ASV is assumed to be open. The ECM locates malfunctions from the combination of pressures detected when the AIR system is ON and OFF.
Tech Tips
The exhaust pulsation value is calculated in the ECM. If the calculated value exceeds a certain level, the ECM determines that the exhaust pulsation is in the AIR system.
Tech Tips
In case 3 and 7, as the pressure sensor detects a slight pump operation pulsation, the detected value is not constant. Since the pump outlet is blocked by closing the ASV, the average pressure is higher than in case 1 (approximately 20 to 30 kPa).
In case 1, the average pressure is approximately 3 to 11 kPa. The value of 2.4 kPa indicated in the table above is a threshold for detecting pump malfunctions.
| Detected Conditions while AIR Operating: Air Pump ON, ASV Open |
Detected Conditions while AIR not Operating: Air Pump OFF, ASV Closed |
ECM Determination | DTCs Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Case 1 | Case 8 | Normal | - |
| Case 1 | Case 6 | ASV stuck open | P2440 or P2442 |
| Case 1 | Case 7 | Air pump stuck ON | P2444 or P2446 |
| Case 2 | Case 8 | Air pump stuck OFF | P2445 or P2447 |
| Case 3 | Case 8 | ASV stuck closed | P2441 or P2443 |
| Case 1 | Case 5 | ASV stuck open and air pump stuck ON | P2440 and P2444 or P2442 and P2446 |
| Case 2 | Case 6 | ASV stuck open and air pump stuck OFF | P2440 and P2445 or P2442 and P2447 |
| Case 3 | Case 7 | ASV stuck closed and air pump stuck ON | P2441 and P2444 or P2443 and P2446 |
| Case 4 | Case 8 | ASV stuck closed and air pump stuck OFF | P2441 and P2445 or P2443 and P2447 |
Tech Tips
If the vacuum hose between the ASV and the pressure sensor is not connected correctly, case 4 may occur.
By using the GTS 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. Furthermore, Pending Codes also can be checked by performing Utility / Secondary Air Injection Check / Automatic Mode after the repair.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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.
System Check:
The pressure in the secondary air passage can be checked using the GTS.
Start the engine and warm it up.
Turn the engine switch off.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Secondary Air Injection Check / Manual Mode / AIR PUMP 1: ON, ASV1: OPEN, AIR PUMP 2: ON, ASV2: OPEN and AIR PUMP 1: OFF, ASV1 CLOSE, AIR PUMP 2: OFF, ASV2 CLOSE.
Tech Tips
When Manual Mode is selected, the GTS initialization (atmospheric pressure measurement) is performed automatically. The initialization takes 10 seconds. After the initialization, AIR PUMP and ASV operation can be selected.
Start the engine.
Perform the AIR system intrusive operation while the engine is idling.
Check that the status of the air pump (AIR PUMP), ASV and pressure in the AIR system passage (PRESSURE) displayed on the GTS indicate the conditions shown in the table below.
| Standard | |||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
*1:
Average pumping pressure (gauge pressure). The pressure should be 2.4 kPa or higher when the AIR system operates.
*2:
The cumulative exhaust pulsation calculated by the ECM. If the calculated value exceeds a certain level, the ECM determines that the exhaust pulsation is in the AIR system.
Turn the engine switch off.
Note
This Secondary Air Injection Check only allows technicians to operate the AIR system for a maximum of 5 seconds.
Furthermore, the check can only be performed up to 4 times per trip. If the test is repeated, intervals of at least 30 seconds are required between checks.
While AIR system operation using the GTS is prohibited, the GTS display indicates the prohibition (WAIT or ERROR).
If an ERROR is displayed on the GTS during the test, stop the engine for 10 minutes, and then try again.
Performing the Secondary Air Injection Check repeatedly may cause damage to the AIR system. If necessary, leave an interval of several minutes between System Check operations to prevent the system from overheating.
When performing the Secondary Air Injection Check operation after the battery cable has been reconnected, wait for 7 minutes with the engine switch turned on (IG) or the engine running.
Turn the engine switch off when the Secondary Air Injection Check operation finishes.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
Tech Tips
Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.
*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.
Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
