Diagnostic Fault Information






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. The Secondary air injection pressure sensor, which is integral to the shutoff and check valve, is used to monitor the air flow from the secondary air injection pump. The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to the 5 V reference circuit and provides a ground for the low reference circuit. The sensor provides a signal voltage to the ECM relative to the pressure changes within the secondary air injection system.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* DTC P0606 is not set.

* The ignition is ON, or the engine is running.

* The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P2432

The ECM detects that the secondary air injection pressure sensor signal is less than 0.3 V for greater than 6 s.

P2433

The ECM detects that the secondary air injection pressure sensor signal is greater than 4.7 V for greater than 6 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P2432 and P2433 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTCs P2432 and P2433 are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON

2. Verify that DTC P0651 is not set.

If the DTC is set
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.

If the DTC is not set.

3. Verify the scan tool BARO pressure parameter is within the range specified in the Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure table.

If not within the specified range
Refer to DTC P2227-P2230 P2227.

If within the specified range

4. Verify the scan tool Secondary Air Injection Pressure Sensor and the BARO pressure parameters are within 3 kPa (0.4 psi).

If not within the specified range
Refer to Circuit/System Testing

If within the specified range

5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

6. Verify the DTC does not set.

If the DTC sets
Refer to Circuit/System Testing

If the DTC does not set

7. All OK

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 min, for all vehicle systems to power down. Disconnect the harness connector at the Q29 Secondary Air Injection Solenoid Valve.

2. Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.

If 5 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

If less than 5 ohms

3. Ignition ON.

4. Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If less than 4.8 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the 5 V reference circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

If greater than 5.2 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

If between 4.8-5.2 V

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

If 0.5 V or greater

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition ON

2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

If less than 0.5 V

6. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1.

7. Verify the scan tool Secondary Air Injection Pressure Sensor parameter is greater than 4.8 V.

If 4.8 V or less

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

If greater than 4.8 V

8. Test or replace the Q29 Secondary Air Injection Solenoid Valve.
