Click here for detailed picture of above image.

Circuit Description

An AIR pump is used on this vehicle to lower tail pipe emissions on start-up. The PCM supplies a ground to the AIR pump relay, which energizes the AIR pump.

The PCM monitors the HO2S voltages to diagnose the AIR system.

During the AIR test the PCM activates the AIR pump during closed loop operation. When the AIR is activated, the PCM monitors the HO2S voltages and short term fuel trim values for both banks of the engine. If the AIR system is operating properly, the HO2S voltages should go low and the short term fuel trim should go high.

If the PCM determines that the HO2S voltages for both banks did not respond as expected during the tests, DTC P0410 sets. If only one sensor responded, the PCM sets either a DTC P1415 or P1416 to indicate on which bank the AIR system is inoperative.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. If DTCs P0412 and P0418 are also set at the same time, this indicates the AIR pump fuse is open.
  1. Excessive resistance in either the control circuit or the B+ circuit will cause an inoperative relay. Command each relay ON and OFF as necessary to verify operation. This step verifies the AIR pump operation.
  1. This step isolates if the condition is the AIR integral stop valve or the AIR Bleed Valve solenoid. If no air is present at the outlet of the pump, this indicates a condition with the integral stop valve or circuit.
  1. When an engine is started, a vacuum is created in the AIR system. This vacuum causes the integral stop valve from not opening which causes DTC P0410 to set. When the engine is started the PCM commands the AIR Bleed Valve solenoid to open and relieve the vacuum in the AIR system. This step verifies the solenoid is capable of relieving the vacuum.
