Air Injection Pressure Sensor/Switch: Testing and Inspection







Secondary Air Injection Sensor 1 Checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Multimeter.

• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

• The Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) fuses OK.

• The parking brake engaged.

• The battery voltage at least 12.5 V.

• The selector lever of automatic transmission in position "P" or "N".

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

• A/C switched off.

• The fuel tank at least 1/4 filled.

• The ignition switched off.

Test procedure

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

Start diagnosis

- Disconnect the Secondary Air Injection Sensor (AIR) 1 (G609,) electrical harness connector.

Checking voltage supply

Switch the ignition On.

- Using a multimeter, check the Secondary Air Injection Sensor (AIR) 1 (G609,) electrical harness connector for voltage.










Switch the ignition Off.

If the specified values were obtained:

- Replace the Secondary Air Injection Sensor (AIR) 1 (G609,).

If specified values were Not 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 Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.

- Using a multimeter, check the Secondary Air Injection Sensor (AIR) 1 (G609,) electrical harness connector terminals to the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T121 terminals for resistance.






Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.

If the specification was Not obtained:

- Check the wiring for an open circuit, high resistance, a short circuit to each other, Battery (+) or Ground.

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

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specification was obtained:

- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures

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

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
