Function



Function

Air is blown behind the exhaust valves by the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system during a cold start. This adds oxygen to the exhaust, initiating a secondary combustion and thereby shortening the warm-up phase of the catalytic converter. Activation occurs from Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220- via Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay -J299-to Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Solenoid Valve -N112- to the combination valve.

Check secondary air system for proper seal.

NOTE: Components marked with * are tested via On Board Diagnostic (OBD). Diagnostic mode 3: Check DTC memory.
