Secondary Air Injection

SECONDARY AIR INJECTION




The secondary air injection system consists of the same components as previous systems with V8 specific locations.

The MS S52 control unit controls the vacuum vent valve and the secondary air injection pump relay separately but simultaneously.

The secondary air pump operates at a start temperature of between 1 degrees C and 40 degrees C. It continues to operate for a max. of 2 minutes at idle speed.

MS S52 contributes an additional correction factor for secondary air "on" time with the additional input from the integral ambient barometric pressure sensor.

This sensor provides a base value to calculate the air mass being injected into the exhaust system. This helps to "fine tune" the secondary air injection "on" time, optimizing the necessary air flow into the exhaust system which reduces the time to catalytic converter light off.
