Action in service
1. Visual inspection from connecting hose between
secondary air injection pump (SAP) and secondary air-
injection valve (SAV). Replace the hose if it is damaged.
2. Determine whether hose is connected.
- if not - connect hose. A click must be audible when the
hose is connected.
3. Conduct EOL test and listen to determine whether SAP is
running or not:
- if yes - determine whether the pump is producing pressure
(hold with hand), it should be possible to feel pressure
- of not - check wiring to pump (plug, relay, wiring),
conduct EOL test with pump supplied by separate 12V
power source. (With additional fault code entry => Replace
pump)
4. Remove SAV from motor and connect to the hose. -
Conduct EOL test and use hand to determine whether air is
flowing through the valve.
If so, then the valve is defective and must be replaced.
If not, valve is OK
5. Clean the passage between exhaust gas banks 1 and 2 (in
engine block)
6. Install SAV again, run through EOL test. If the
malfunction is registered again, repeat steps 5 and 6.
