Circuit Description
Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system is used to lower tailpipe emissions during start up. PCM supplies ground to AIR pump relay, energizing pump. PCM enables both circuits simultaneously when AIR system operation is desired. When AIR system is active, AIR pump forces fresh air into the exhaust stream to accelerate catalyst operation.
PCM runs 2 tests using HO2S voltages to diagnose AIR system. Tests consist of:
- Test I
PCM monitors HO2S voltages when AIR pump is enabled. If HO2S voltage drops to a predetermined range, PCM assumes that AIR pump is operational. If HO2S voltage increases to a predetermined range, PCM assumes that AIR pump is disabled. If HO2S voltages are out of range or inconclusive, diagnostic will proceed to next test. - Test II
During this test, PCM will activate AIR pump during "closed loop" operation. When AIR is activated, PCM will monitor HO2S voltages and short term trim values for both banks of engine. If PCM determines that HO2S voltages for both banks does not respond as expected during tests, DTC P0410 will set. If only one sensor responded, PCM will set either a DTC P1415 or P1416 to indicate which bank AIR system is inoperative.
DTC will set when the following conditions are present:
