-  Initiate output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) and 
activate Secondary Air Injection (AIR) pump 
relay -J299-.  
    
A - If relay does not trigger:  
B - If relay triggers, but Secondary Air Injection (AIR) pump does not run:   
The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) pump relay (in 3-socket relay 
carrier in the E-box, at left in plenum chamber, position 2) must 
trigger and the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) pump motor -V101- 
must run in intervals

Checking voltage supply of Secondary Air 
Injection (AIR) pump relay  
     
-  Remove Secondary Air Injection (AIR) pump 
relay. 
    
If specified value is not obtained:  -  Connect multimeter for voltage measurement as follows.3-socket relay carrier in E-box, plenum 
chamber, position 2  
terminal  
Measure to  
  
8   Engine Ground 
(GND)  
 
Specified value: approx. battery voltage
-  Perform the following tests marked with dots:
    
 Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations   Check fuse S130 (40 A) in 3-socket relay carrier in E-Box, plenum 
chamber, position 7. Check wire connection from Battery (B+) (terminal 30) to Secondary 
Air Injection (AIR) pump relay -J299- (in 3-socket relay carrier in E-
Box, plenum chamber, position 2) for open circuit.
