CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the AIR injection pump relay coil. The PCM controls the relay by grounding the control circuit via an internal switch called a driver. The primary function of the driver is to supply the ground for the component being controlled, Each driver has a fault line which is monitored by the PCM. When the PCM is commanding a component ON, the voltage of the control circuit should be low (near 0 volts). When the PCM is commanding the control circuit to a component OFF, the voltage potential of the circuit should be high (near battery voltage). If the fault detection circuit senses a voltage other than what is expected, the fault line status will change causing the DTC to set.
The relay is used to control the high current flow to the AIR injection pump. This allows the PCM driver to only have to handle the relatively low current used by the relay.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
- Engine speed greater than 600 RPM.
- The PCM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match.
- Condition must be present for a minimum of 5 seconds.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The PCM will illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive drive trip that the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The PCM will record operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, this information will be stored in Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive drive trip, the operating conditions at the time of failure will be written to Freeze Frame and the Failure Record will be updated.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
- The PCM will turn the MIL OFF after three consecutive drive trips that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
- A last test failed (Current DTC) will clear when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
- A History DTC will clear after forty consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
- PCM battery voltage is interrupted.
- Using a Scan tool.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
- If the #7 underhood fuse is open, inspect AIR system for water intrusion. Inspect the AIR pump for water. Check the AIR check valves for proper operation. Refer to Air Check Valve and Pipes or Air Check Valve and Pipes for procedure.
- Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If the DTC cannot be duplicated, the information included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data can be useful in determining how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also be used to determine how many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass and/or a fail. Operate vehicle within the same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that were noted. This will isolate when the DTC failed.
- For intermittents, refer to Symptoms.
TEST DESCRIPTION
Number(s) below ref6r to step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. Listen for an audible click when the relay operates. Be sure that both the ON and the OFF states are commanded. Repeat the commands as necessary.
3. This check can detect a partially shorted coil which would cause excessive current flow. Leaving the circuit energized for 2 minutes allows the coil to warm up. When warm the coil may open (Amps drop to 0), or short (goes above 0.75 Amp).
5. It is important to identify and test the relay coil terminals to avoid improper diagnosis.
11. A shorted AIR pump or a shorted AIR Bleed Valve Solenoid will cause the fuse to open and cause a DTC P0412 to set. Also inspect the circuits going to the AIR pump and AIR bleed valve for a short to ground.
13. If no trouble is found in the control circuit or the connection at the PCM, the PCM may be faulty, however, this is an extremely unlikely failure.
