Secondary Air Injection Pump Relay, Checking

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

Test requirements 

Test procedure 

-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK .

Start diagnosis 

-- 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 to Ground (GND).

Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Check the wiring connection from the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay -J299- socket 2 to the Battery -A- (+) terminal for an open circuit or a short circuit to Ground (GND).

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

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

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

-- Switch the ignition on.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay -J299- socket 8 to Ground (GND) for voltage.

Specified value: battery voltage.

-- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Check the wiring connection from theSecondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Fuse -S130- to the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay -J299- socket 2 for an open circuit or a short circuit to Ground (GND).

-- 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 Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to appropriate service information.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay -J299- socket 6 to the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical harness connector T60 terminal 2 for resistance.

6 2

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.

If the specification was not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for an open circuit, 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 OK:

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

-- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to 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 .

-- End diagnosis.

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

-- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to appropriate service 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 .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
