Typical Scan Tool Data





Circuit/System Description

The secondary air injection system aids in the reduction of hydrocarbon emissions during a cold start. The electric air pump forces fresh air into the exhaust stream in order to accelerate the catalyst operation. A secondary air injection pressure sensor is used to monitor the air flow from the secondary air injection pump. The ECM supplies voltage to the 5-volt reference circuit and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit. The sensor provides a signal voltage to the ECM relative to the pressure changes within the secondary air injection system.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify that DTC P0651 is not set.

• If DTC P0651 is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for further diagnosis.

2. Compare the scan tool BARO pressure parameter to the Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure (Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure) table. The BARO should be within the specified range displayed in the table for the specific altitude.

• If not within the specified range, refer to DTC P0106 (P0106) for further diagnosis.

3. Compare the scan tool Air Pressure Sensor pressure parameter to the BARO reading. The readings should be within 3 kPa (0.4 psi).
4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: The Secondary Air Pressure sensor is an integral part of the Secondary Air Check Valve.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Secondary Air Injection Pressure Sensor.
2. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.

• If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

• If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
• If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

4. Verify the scan tool Secondary Air Injection Pressure Sensor voltage parameter is less than 0.5 V.

• If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1. Verify the scan tool Secondary Air Injection Pressure Sensor voltage parameter is greater than 4.8 V.

• If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Secondary Air Injection Pressure sensor.
