Air Injection Pump: Testing and Inspection
Diagnostic Codes: P 0411, P 0413, P 0414
Monitoring Procedure
The diagnostics for auxiliary air injection combine air flow and electrical circuit monitoring.
Air Flow Monitoring
In hot idle conditions, oxygen sensor feedback is used to detect the auxiliary air injected into the exhaust. If a change in the exhaust condition is
detected then the test is passed, if not, a fault is present. There is no default strategy.
Electrical Circuit Monitoring
An open or short circuit fault in the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) pump drive relay circuit will be reported directly by the ECM hardware to the
Diagnostic Status Manager (DSM). The strategy will report to the DSM when an AIR fault is present and the DSM will then decide whether to
store a fault code and illuminate the MIL lamp.
The electric air pump is situated at the front left side of the engine.
