DTC P0412 Secondary Air Injection System Switching Valve "A" Circuit: Description

The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system pumps air to the exhaust port to accelerate the activation of the catalyst. The secondary air injection system consists of the ECM, air pump, Air Switching Valve (ASV) (EASV), Air Switching Valve No. 2 (ASV No. 2) (ASV1, 2), pressure sensor and Air Injection Control Driver (AID). The Air Switching Valve (ASV) (EASV) is an electromagnetic type and Air Switching Valve No. 2 (ASV No. 2) (ASV1, 2) is a vacuum type.

The secondary air injection system pumps pressurized air to the exhaust port by the air pump through the ASV and ASV No. 2. The ASV assists the ASV No. 2. The ASV No. 2 also controls air supply. The ECM sends signals to the AID, and then the AID operates the air pump and ASV. The pressure sensor detects pressure and exhaust pulsation in the system when the system operates and when it does not operate, and sends the data to the ECM.
