Inspection Procedure

HINT:

The diagnostic information output from Air Injection Control Driver (AID) can be confirmed by connecting an oscilloscope to the diagnostic information terminal of the AID. It narrows a trouble area search to read the waveform on the oscilloscope when performing the AIR system intrusive operation function provided in the System Check.

  1. Start the engine and warm it up.
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  4. Connect an oscilloscope probe to the AIDI terminal of the ECM.

  5. Start the engine and turn the tester ON.
  6. On the tester, enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Utility/Air injection Check/Manual Mode/Operation 1 and 2.

    HINT.

    Operation 1: AP: OFF; EASV: CLOSE; ASV1: CLOSE; ASV2: CLOSE

    Operation 2. AP: ON; EASV: OPEN; ASV1: OPEN; ASV2: OPEN

  7. Monitor the voltage output of the AID (duty ratio signal).

NOTE:
  • This Air Injection Check only allows technicians to operate the AIR system for 5 seconds. Furthermore, the check can be performed 4 times a trip. If the test is repeated, intervals of at least 30 seconds are required between checks.

    While the AIR system operation using the Techstream is prohibited, the tester displays the prohibition (WAIT or ERROR). If ERROR (Al STATUS NG) is displayed on the tester, stop the engine for 10 minutes and then try again.

  • Performing the Air Injection Check over and over again may cause damage in the secondary air injection system. If necessary, wait several minutes between tests to prevent overheating the system.
  • When performing the Air Injection Check operation after the battery cable has been reconnected, wait for 7 minutes with the ignition switch turned ON or the engine running.
  • Turn the ignition switch OFF when the Air Injection Check operation finishes.
