Circuit/System Description
The secondary air injection (AIR) system aids in the reduction of hydrocarbon emissions during a cold start. The system forces fresh filtered air into the exhaust stream in order to accelerate the catalyst operation. An electric air pump, the secondary AIR injection pump, provides filtered air on demand to the AIR control solenoid valve/pressure sensor assembly. The AIR control solenoid valve/pressure sensor assembly controls the flow of air from the AIR pump to the exhaust manifold. The AIR valve relay supplies the current needed to operate the AIR control solenoid valve/pressure sensor assembly. A pressure sensor is used to monitor the air flow from the AIR pump. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the internal pressure sensor with a 5-volt reference, an electrical ground, and a signal circuit.
The AIR diagnostic uses 3 phases to test the AIR system:
- DTCs P0411 and P2430 run during Phase 1
- DTCs P2430 and P2440 run during Phase 2
- DTC P2444 runs during Phase 3
During phase 1, both the AIR pump and the solenoid valve are activated. Normal secondary air function occurs. Expected system pressure is 8-10 kPa above BARO.
During phase 2, only the AIR pump is activated. The solenoid valve is closed. Pressure sensor performance and solenoid valve deactivation are tested. Expected system pressure is 20-25 kPa above BARO.
During phase 3, neither the AIR pump nor the solenoid valve is activated. AIR pump deactivation is tested. Expected system pressure equals BARO.
In all 3 phases, testing is accomplished by comparing the measured pressure against the expected pressure. The ECM can detect faults in the AIR pump, AIR control solenoid valve/pressure sensor assembly, and the exhaust check valve. The pressure sensor can also detect leaks and restrictions in the secondary AIR system plumbing.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, command the affected relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. Feel or listen to verify that the affected relay turns ON and OFF with each command.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the affected relay.
- Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the positive terminal at the battery and the relay control circuit terminal.
- Command the relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- Connect an appropriately fused jumper wire between the positive voltage terminal at the battery and the load voltage supply circuit terminal and verify load activation.
- Ignition ON, connect an appropriately fused jumper wire between the relay switch voltage supply circuit terminal and the load voltage supply circuit terminal and verify load activation.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the relay coil voltage supply circuit terminal and ground.
- If all circuits and the ECM test normal, test or replace the affected relay.
| • | AIR relay/Pump--Terminal 85 |
| • | Solenoid relay--Terminal Y11 |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the relay control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the relay control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
| • | AIR relay/Pump--Terminal 87 |
| • | Solenoid relay--Terminal Z11 |
| ⇒ | If the load does not activate, test the load voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the load. |
| • | AIR relay/Pump--Terminals 30 and 87 |
| • | Solenoid relay--Terminals Y9 and Z11 |
| ⇒ | If the load does not activate, test the relay switch voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and its fuse is open, test all components connected to the fuse and replace as necessary. |
| • | AIR relay/Pump--Terminal 86 |
| • | Solenoid relay--Terminal Z9 |

- Test between the normally-closed switch terminals, if any, for 0 ohms.
- Test between the normally-open switch terminals for infinite ohms.
- Test between each switch terminal and either coil terminal for infinite ohms.
- Connect the relay coil terminals to ground and fused power to energize the relay.
- Test between the normally-closed switch terminals, if any, for infinite ohms.
- Test between the normally-open switch terminals for 0 ohms.
- Test between each switch terminal and either coil terminal for 0 volts.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
Repair Verification
