Secondary air system: Function

In the cold start phase, the ECM -4- activates the secondary air pump -2- via the relay for secondary air pump -3-. Air reaches the combination valves for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) -5- and -9-.
The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) valve -6- is activated in parallel, which allows the vacuum to reach the combination valves for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) -5- and -9-. The appropriate combination valve for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) thereby opens the path for secondary air to the exhaust channels of the cylinder head.
