Notes:  
     
The secondary air injection system injects air 
behind the exhaust valves during a cold start. 
Cold start means engine coolant temperature 
between 8-65 C (46-149 F). The amount of 
air injected is temperature dependent. 
     
The need for secondary air is triggered by the 
Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220- 
via the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Injection 
pump relay -J299- to the Secondary Air 
Injection (AIR) solenoid valve -N112- and the 
two combination valves. 
     When "Basic Setting" (scan tool function 04) is 
initiated, a diagnosis for the secondary air 
injection system can be carried out. The 
diagnostics consists of a flow test and a leak 
test.
