Secondary Air Injection Pump Relay, Checking






Secondary Air Injection Pump Relay, Checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Multimeter.

• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

• The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay (-J299-) fuses OK.

• The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Fuse (S130) fuse OK.

• Battery voltage at least 12.5 V.

• All electrical consumers switched off (radiator fan must NOT run during test).

• A/C switched off.

• The ignition switched off.

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check

Start diagnosis

Procedure

- Remove the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay (-J299-).

Checking voltage

- Using a Multimeter, check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay (-J299-) socket 2/30 to Ground (GND).

Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value was not obtained:

- Check the wiring connections from the Battery to the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay (-J299-) socket 8/87 for an open circuit or a short circuit.

- Check the wiring connections for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

- Reinstall the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay (-J299-).

- Switch the ignition on.

- Using a Multimeter, check engine ground to the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay (-J299-) socket 2/30 for voltage.

- Switch the ignition off.

Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value was not obtained:

- Replace the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay (J299)

- Check the wiring connections for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.

- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.

- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to=> [ Engine Control Module, Removing and Installing ] Engine Control Module, Removing and Installing.

- Using a multimeter,, check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay (-J299-) socket 4/85 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector terminal 46 for resistance.





Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.

If the specification was not obtained:

- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was not OK:

- Replace the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay (-J299-).

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK:

- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module, Replacing ] Engine Control Module, Replacing.

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the mentioned sequence:

1.

2. Check the DTC memory. => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.

3. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

4. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.
