Secondary Air Injection Sensor 1 - G609-, Checking: Notes

General Description 

The Secondary Air Injection System Injects Air Into The Exhaust On A Cold-Start Of The Engine For 45 - 100 S And Serves To Quickly Heat The Catalytic Converter(s) For Improved Emissions. A Pressure Based Secondary Air Diagnostic Function Is Used. In This System, The Signal From The Secondary Air Injection Sensor 1 -G609- Is Evaluated By The Engine Control Module -J623-. The Injected Air Quantity Is Determined From The Pressure Level.

Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required
