Circuit Description
The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system reduces exhaust emissions after the engine starts. This occurs when the start-up coolant temperature is between 2°-40°C (36°-104°F) and the intake air temperature (IAT) is more than 1°C (33°F). The powertrain control module (PCM) activates the AIR system by suppling a ground to the AIR pump relay and the AIR solenoid simultaneously. The AIR solenoid applies engine vacuum to the AIR shut-off valve, opening the valve. The AIR pump forces pressurized fresh air into the pipes/hoses and past the exhaust check valve into the exhaust manifold, accelerating catalyst operation. When the AIR system is inactive, the AIR shut-off valve and the exhaust check valve prevent airflow in either direction. The PCM will run up to two diagnostic active tests during the same key cycle, using the HO2S 1 voltage parameter to verify system operation. When the PCM detects an insufficient heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 response, DTC P0410 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | DTCs P0105, P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0122, P0123, P0130, P0131, P0132, P0133, P0134, P0135, P0171, P0172, P0201-P0204, P0300, P0301-P0304, P0336, P0340, P0341, P0506, P0507, P0601, P0604, P0606, P1133, P1134, P1171, P1621 are not set. |
| • | The AIR system is commanded ON for more than 2.6 seconds. |
| • | The IAT is more than 1°C (33°F). |
| • | The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 5°-115°C (41°-239°F). |
| • | The battery voltage is more than 11 volts. |
| • | The engine run time is more than 10 minutes. |
| • | The fuel trim is in cells 2,3 or 17. |
| • | The throttle position (TP) sensor changes less than 5 percent. |
| • | The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor is less than 30 kPa. |
| • | The engine speed is more than 1,000 RPM. |
| • | The engine is in Closed Loop. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM does not detect a decrease in the HO2S 1 voltage parameter to less than 75 mV for 1 second during a 2.6 second active test for two consecutive 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. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | An AIR solenoid or AIR shut-off valve that is sticking open may cause an audible exhaust noise to be heard though the AIR pump inlet hose. This condition may not set DTC P0410. This condition may also cause a fuel trim code to set. Fuel trim values may indicate a higher than normal percentage at an idle. |
| • | Verify proper vacuum hose routing at the AIR solenoid. Reversed connections may cause the AIR shut-off valve to remain open for an extended amount of time after normal activation. |
| • | Low system airflow may cause this DTC to set. |
| • | Excessive exhaust system back pressure may cause this DTC to set. |
| • | An intermittent may be caused by any of the following conditions: |
| - | Pinched, restricted, split, heat damaged or deteriorated pipes/hoses or vacuum lines |
| - | Restrictions in the AIR pump inlet hose |
| - | Pitted or burnt contacts, internal to the AIR pump relay--Tap on the AIR pump relay to attempt duplicating an intermittent condition. |
| • | Heat damage to the AIR crossover hose may indicate an exhaust check valve failure. |
| • | If the vacuum check valve does not hold vacuum, DTC P0410 may set. This condition may be intermittent due to a low vacuum condition or operating the vehicle at high altitudes. |
| • | Water or debris ingested into the AIR pump may cause this DTC to set. If water is found in the AIR pump, the exhaust check valve may be leaking. Inspect for an exhaust odor in the water sample. If no exhaust odor is present, ensure that the AIR inlet hose is securely fastened to the air cleaner assemble. |
| • | Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records to see what conditions set DTC P0410. |
Thoroughly inspect any circuits, hoses/pipes and vacuum lines that may be causing the intermittent condition. Refer to Intermittent Conditions .
