Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101 , Checking
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
- Multimeter.
- Wiring diagram.
Test requirements
- Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay J299 OK.
- Fuel Pump (FP) Relay J17 OK.
- Battery voltage at least 12.5 V.
- All electrical consumers switched off (radiator fan must NOT run during test).
- A/C switched off.
- The ignition switched off.
Test procedure
- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to → General Diagnosis .
Start diagnosis
- Disconnect the secondary air injection hose - arrow -.
- Remove the center noise insulation fasteners - 1, 2, 3, 4 - and the center noise insulation panel.
- Disconnect the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101 electrical harness connector - 3 -.
Checking voltage
- Start engine momentarily.
- Using a Multimeter , check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101 electrical harness connector terminals 1 to 2 for voltage.
- Switch the ignition off.
Specified value: battery voltage.
If the specified value was not obtained:
- Using a Multimeter , check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101 electrical harness connector terminal 2 to Ground (GND).
Specified value: battery voltage.
If the specified value was not obtained:
- Check the wiring connection from the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay J299 socket 2/87 to the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101 electrical harness connector terminal 2 for an open circuit or a short circuit.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If the specified value was obtained:
Checking Ground (GND)
- Using a Multimeter , check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101 electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND) connection 2 (on left front long member) for resistance.
Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.
If the specification was not obtained:
- Check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101 electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND) connection 2 (on left front long member) for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK:
- Replace Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101. Refer to → 26 EXHAUST SYSTEM, EMISSION CONTROLS .
- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to → Diagnostic Mode 04: Reset/Delete Diagnostic Data .
- Perform a road test to verify repair.
If the DTC does not return:
Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to → Readiness Code .
- End diagnosis.
If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was not OK:
- Replace the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay J299.
- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.
Final procedures
After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
- Check the DTC memory.
- If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to Diagnostic Mode 04: Reset/Delete Diagnostic Data .
- If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to Readiness Code .
End of diagnosis.
