AUDI A4 1995 B5 / 1.G APB Engine Secondary Air System Workshop Manual

26-31


Secondary air system The secondary air system results in quicker heating
and therefore earlier operating readiness of the
catalytic converter following cold start.
Principle
Due to over-enrichment of the mixture during the
cold start phase, there is an increased amount of
un-combusted carbon monoxide in the exhaust.
Secondary Air Injection (AIR) improves secondary
oxidation in the catalytic converter and therefore
reduces emissions. The heat produced by
secondary oxidation greatly reduces start-up time
for the catalytic converter, therefore improving
exhaust quality during the cold start phase
significantly.

Function:

In the cold start phase, the ECM -4- activates
the secondary air pump -2- via the relay for
secondary air pump -3-. Air reaches the
combination valves for Secondary Air Injection
(AIR) -5- and -9-.
The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) valve -6- is
activated in parallel, which allows the vacuum to
reach the combination valves for Secondary Air
Injection (AIR) -5- and -9-. The appropriate
combination valve for Secondary Air Injection
(AIR) thereby opens the path for secondary air
to the exhaust channels of the cylinder head.
