Air Diverter Valve: Description and Operation
SECONDARY AIR DIVERTER VALVE
Secondary AIR Diverter Valve
The secondary AIR diverter valve is used with the secondary AIR pump to provide on/off control of air to the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter.
When the secondary AIR pump is on and vacuum is supplied to the AIR diverter valve, air passes the integral check valve disk. When the secondary AIR
pump is off, and vacuum is removed from the AIR diverter valve, the integral check valve disk is held on the seat and stops air from being drawn into the
exhaust system and prevents the back flow of the exhaust into the secondary AIR system.
