DESCRIPTION The Secondary
Air Injection (AIR) system consists of an air pump, the Air Switching
Valve (ASV), a pressure sensor, the Air Injection Control Driver (AID)
and the ECM. For a short time after a cold engine start, the AIR system
pumps secondary air to the exhaust port of the cylinder head to purify
the exhaust emissions. The secondary air is supplied by the air pump and
is pumped to the exhaust port through the ASV. The
AID drives the ASV and the air pump according to command signals
transmitted by the ECM. The pressure sensor detects the pressure in the
secondary air passage when the AIR system is ON and OFF, and transmits a
pressure signal to the ECM. The AID is not only
equipped to drive the pump and valve, but also has a diagnosis function
to detect malfunctions in the AIR system circuit. HINT: As a large current is required to drive the air pump and ASV, an AID is installed to this system.

| MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The
ECM monitors the pressure in the secondary air passage using the
pressure sensor located on the air switching valve in the secondary air
injection system. If there is a defect in the
sensor or the sensor circuit, the voltage level deviates from the normal
operating range, the ECM interprets this deviation as a malfunction in
the pressure sensor or circuit and stores a DTC. MONITOR STRATEGY

NOTICE:
- 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 Techstream is prohibited, the Techstream display indicates the prohibition (WAIT or ERROR).
If ERROR is displayed on the Techstream 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 ignition
switch turned to ON or the engine running.
- Turn the ignition switch off when the Secondary Air Injection Check operation finishes.
- Start the engine and warm it up.
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Clear DTCs (if set) (See page ).
- Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Secondary Air Injection Check / Automatic Mode.
- Start the engine after the Techstream initialization is finished.
- Perform the System Check operation by pressing ENTER (Next).
- Perform the following to confirm the AIR system pending codes: Press ENTER (Exit).
- Check for pending DTCs.
OK:
No pending DTC is output.
- After the "Secondary air injection check" is completed, check for All
Readiness by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT /
Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P2431, P2432, P2433, P2436, P2437 or P2438.
- Check the DTC judgment result.
