Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System Inspection

  1. Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
  2. Verify that DTC P2257, P2258, P2259 or P2260 is not displayed.
    • If DTC P2257, P2258, P2259 or P2260 are displayed, perform DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE. )
  3. Access the ECTPID.
  4. Start the engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.
  5. Cool down the engine to that the ECT PID is 30°C {86°F} or less  .
  6. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  7. Verify that the PCM terminal 1O voltage is B+  and the AIR pump is not operating.
    • If the PCM terminal 1O voltage is not B+, inspect and repair or replace open or short circuit between PCM terminal 1O and AIR solenoid valve connector B.
    • If the AIR pump is operating inspect for the following:
      • AIR pump relay (stuck closed)
      • Wiring harnesses and connectors (Main relay terminal C-AIR pump relay-PCM terminal 4O/AIR PUMP fuse-AIR pump relay-AIR pump)
  8. Start the engine.
  9. Verify that the AIR pump is operating and the PCM terminal 1O voltage is 0 V after the engine is started.
    • If the AIR pump does not operate, inspect for the following:
      • AIR pump relay (stuck open)
      • AIR pump (internal malfunction)
      • Wiring harnesses and connectors (Main relay terminal C-AIR pump relay-PCM terminal 4O/AIR PUMP fuse-AIR pump relay-AIR pump-GND)
    • If PCM terminal 10 voltage is not 0 V  , inspect and repair or replace open or short circuit between PCM terminal 1O and AIR solenoid valve connector B.
    • If the AIR pump operates and PCM terminal 1O is 0 V  , inspect for the following:
      • AIR pump (pressure)
      • AIR solenoid valve (stuck or closed)
      • Vacuum hose (Intake manifold-vacuum tank-AIR solenoid valve - AIR control valve)
      • Secondary air passage (AIR pump-AIR control valve-exhaust manifold)
