DTC Descriptor

DTC P2430
- Secondary Air Injection System Pressure Sensor Circuit

DTC P2431
- Secondary Air Injection System Pressure Sensor Performance

Circuit/System Description

The secondary air injection system aids in the reduction of hydrocarbon emissions during a cold start. The electric air pump forces fresh air into the exhaust stream in order to accelerate the catalyst operation. A pressure sensor is used to monitor the air flow from the secondary air injection pump. The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to the 5-volt reference circuit and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit. The sensor provides a signal voltage to the ECM relative to the pressure changes within the secondary air injection system.

Ignition voltage is supplied to the secondary air injection pump and air injection check valve relay. The ECM controls the relay by grounding the control circuit, which activates the relay. When the relay contact closes, voltage is supplied to the pump and the valve, which turns the pump on and opens the valve.

The diagnostic uses 3 phases to test the secondary air injection system:

* DTCs P0411 and P2430 run during Phase 1

* DTCs P2430 and P2440 run during Phase 2

* DTC P2444 runs during Phase 3

During phase 1, both the secondary air injection pump and the secondary air injection check valve are activated. Normal secondary air function occurs. Expected system pressure is 6-14 kPa (0.9-2.0 psi) above BARO.

During phase 2, only the secondary air injection pump is activated. The check valve is closed. Pressure sensor performance and check valve deactivation are tested. Expected system pressure is 18-28 kPa (2.6-4.0 psi) above BARO.

During phase 3, neither the secondary air injection pump nor the secondary air injection check valve are activated. Secondary air injection pump deactivation is tested. Expected system pressure equals BARO.
