SECONDARY AIR INJECTION
This ECM controlled function remains unchanged from
the previous Siemens MS system, however there is a
hardware change.
The Air Injection Inlet Valve mounts directly to the cylin-
der head, with a passageway machined through the
head. This eliminates the external Air Injection manifold
distribution pipes to the exhaust manifolds.
SECONDARY AIR INJECTION MONITORING
In order to reduce HC and CO emissions while the engine is warming up, BMW imple-
mented the use of a Secondary Air Injection System in. Immediately following a cold engine
start (-10 - 40°C) fresh air/oxygen is injected directly into the exhaust manifold. By inject-
ing oxygen into the exhaust manifold:
• The warm up time of the catalyst is reduced
• Oxidation of the hydrocarbons is accelerated
The activation period of the air pump can vary depending on engine type and operating
conditions.
Conditions for Secondary Air Pump Activation:
*NOTE: Below -10°C the air injection pump is activated only as a preventive measure to
blow out any accumulated water vapor that could freeze in the system.
