Exhaust Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

Air Injection System (AIS)

Heat Hazard Sensor Warning Light

The heat hazard sensor is located in the vehicle floor above the catalytic converter.  If floor temperature reaches a potentially dangerous level because of
converter overheating, a warning light illuminates on the dash and the sensor signals the ECU.  To cool the converter and diminish the hazard, the ECU
directs the secondary air control valve to curtail airflow to the converter.  To accomplish this, the ECU directs vacuum to the relief valve diaphragm of
the air control valve by energizing the relief solenoid valve.
