DTC P1415 Single AIR Pump System
Circuit Description
The secondary air injection (AIR) pump used on this vehicle lowers the tail pipe emissions during start-up. The AIR system consists of the following components:
| • | The AIR pumps |
| • | The shut-off valves |
| • | The vacuum control solenoid valve |
| • | The system hoses and pipes |
| • | The AIR relays, the fuses, and the related wiring |
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the AIR relay in order to control the AIR pump. The PCM also controls the AIR vacuum control solenoid valve that supplies the vacuum to the AIR shut-off valves. With the AIR system inactive, the AIR shut-off valves prevent air flow in either direction. With the AIR system active, the PCM applies ground to the AIR relay and to the vacuum control solenoid valve. Fresh air flows from the pump, through the system hoses, past the shut-off valves, and into the exhaust stream. The air helps the catalyst to quickly get to a working temperature, lowering the tail pipe emissions during a start-up.
The PCM tests the following AIR system components:
| • | The overall AIR system, including both banks -- Any problems detected here will result in diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0410. |
| • | The AIR system Bank 1 (DTC P1415) |
| • | AIR system Bank 2 (DTC P1416) |
| • | AIR relay (DTC P0418) |
| • | AIR vacuum control solenoid valve (DTC P0412) |
The PCM runs a passive test and an active test in order to diagnose the AIR system. Both tests involve a response from the fuel control HO2S (HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 and HO2S bank 2 Sensor 2). The passive test consists of 2 parts. If both passive tests pass, the PCM takes no further action. If either part of the passive test fails or is inconclusive, the PCM initiates the active tests. If the PCM determines that HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 did not respond as expected during the tests, DTC P1415 will set. For further information concerning the AIR system and the system tests, refer to Secondary Air Injection System Description .

| • | The EVAP purge is active. |
| • | The ECT is above 68°C (154°F). |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Passive Tests:
| • | During the operation of the AIR pump, the HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 voltage remains above 470 mV for 20 seconds, and above 450 mV for 7 seconds during a hot start. |
| OR |
| With the AIR pump commanded OFF, the HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 voltage remains below 700 mV for 25 seconds. |
| • | The PCM initiates the active test due to a failed or an indeterminate passive test. |
Active Test
| • | A failed or an indeterminate passive test has occurred. |
| • | The HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 voltage remains above 35 mV. |
| • | The PCM detects a failed passive test and 2 failed active tests. |
| OR |
| The PCM records an indeterminate passive test and 3 active tests. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |

DTC P1415 Dual AIR Pump System
Circuit Description
The two AIR pumps used on this vehicle lower tail pipe emissions during start-up. The AIR system consists of the following items:
| • | The AIR pumps |
| • | The check valves |
| • | The vacuum solenoid |
| • | The system hoses and pipes |
| • | The AIR relays, fuses, and related wiring |
The PCM uses the AIR relays to control the AIR pumps. The PCM also controls the AIR vacuum solenoid that supplies vacuum to the AIR check valves. With the AIR system inactive, the AIR check valves prevent air flow in either direction. With the AIR system active, the PCM applies ground to one of the AIR relays, and the vacuum solenoid. Then the PCM applies ground to the other AIR relay. Fresh air flows from the pumps, through the system hoses, pass the check valves, and into the exhaust stream. The air helps the catalyst to quickly reach a working temperature; thus lowering the tail pipe emissions on a start-up. The PCM tests the following AIR system components:
| • | The overall AIR system, including both bank--Any problems detected here will result in DTC P0410. |
| • | The AIR system bank 1 (DTC P1415) |
| • | AIR system bank 2 (DTC P1416) |
| • | AIR relays (DTC P0418 and DTC P0419) |
| • | AIR vacuum control solenoid (DTC P412) |
The PCM runs two tests to diagnose the AIR system: Passive and Active. Both tests involve a response from the fuel control HO2 sensors (HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 and HO2S bank 2 sensor 2). The Passive test consists of two parts. If both passive tests pass, the PCM takes no further action. If either part of the passive test fails, or is inconclusive, the PCM initiates the Active tests. If the PCM determines that HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 did not respond as expected during the tests, DTC P1415 will set.
