Air Pump System

NOTE: A special tester is necessary to accurately measure the electronic control unit operation. The following tests can be made to determine if air injection system is working properly.
  1. Warm engine to normal operating temperature and allow to idle. Air should be escaping from filter near diverter valve. Remove purple/blue hose from air duct and plug end with finger. Air should be injected and not escape from diverter valve. Reconnect hose.
  2. Disconnect "Y" fitting from both thermal vacuum valves and check for vacuum at both sides of "Y". If not, clean hoses, "Y", orifice, and vacuum port.
  3. Check that both thermal valves are open and air passes through freely. If not, replace. If diverter valve is not operating correctly and all other connections are good, replace it.
