Secondary Air Injection Pump Relay, Checking

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

Test requirements

Test procedure 

-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to GENERAL DIAGNOSIS .

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 3/27 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 3/27 for an open circuit or a short circuit.

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

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

-- Switch the ignition on.

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay -J271- socket 2/87 to the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay --J299-- socket 1/25 for voltage.

Specified value: battery voltage.

-- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Check the wiring connections from the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay -J271- socket 2/87 to the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay --J299-- socket 1/25 for an open circuit or a short circuit.

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

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking activation

-- 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 2/24 to Ground (GND)

-- Switch the ignition off.

Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Check or replace the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay --J299--.

-- Check the wiring connections for damage, corrosion, lose 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. Refer to Repair information(test box) at Engine Control Module.

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

-- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-. Refer to MOTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, REPLACING .

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay --J299-- socket 2/24 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220- electrical harness connector T121 terminal 46 for resistance.

Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay --J299-- socket terminal Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220- electrical connector T94 terminal or test box socket
2/24 46

Specified value: 1.5 Ω 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, lose 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--. Refer to Repair information.

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

-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-. Refer to MOTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, REPLACING .

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 .

-- End of diagnosis.
