• Using a Multimeter, check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101 electrical harness connector terminal 2 to Ground (GND).

Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value was not obtained:

• Check the wiring connection from the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay J299 socket 2/30 to the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101 electrical harness connector terminal 2 for an open circuit or a short circuit.
• Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
• If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking Ground (GND)

• Using a Multimeter, check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101 electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND) connection 2 (on left front long member) for resistance.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.

If the specification was not obtained:

• Check the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101 electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND) connection 2 (on left front long member) for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
• Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
• If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK:

• Replace Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor V101. Refer to 26 EXHAUST SYSTEM, EMISSION CONTROLS .
• Erase the DTC memory. Refer to → Diagnostic Mode 04 - Reset/Delete Diagnostic Data .
• Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to → Readiness Code Description .

• End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was not OK:

• Replace the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay J299.
• Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures 

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to Diagnostic Mode 04 - Reset/Delete Diagnostic Data .
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to Readiness Code Description .

End of diagnosis.
