Secondary air valvesSensors and Actua<strong>to</strong>rsEmployed in OBD <strong>II</strong><strong>Diagnostics</strong>Principle of operation:The secondary air is controlled by twosolenoid valves similar <strong>to</strong> the EGR valve. <strong>On</strong>e valve switches airflow <strong>to</strong> the exhaustsystem or <strong>to</strong> outside air cleaner. The other valve switches air flow <strong>to</strong> theexhaust manifold or <strong>to</strong> the second chamber of the three-way catalytic converter.The air routing is done by the PCM based on engine coolant temperature, andA/F ratio. During cold start the secondary air goes <strong>to</strong> exhaust manifold, and duringclosed loop operation, secondary air goes in<strong>to</strong> catalytic converter. During heavyloads and during severe deceleration, secondary air is directed <strong>to</strong> air cleaner whereit has no effect on exhaust temperature.<strong>Diagnostics</strong> The duty cycle of the current pulse that energizes the solenoid ,and the secondary air flow are correlated periodically by OBD <strong>II</strong>diagnostics.OBD <strong>II</strong> DTCsThe failure modes of secondary air flow are diagnosed by OBD <strong>II</strong>.DTCs for these faults are 410-419.
