Fig 1: Identifying Secondary Air Injection Components
G04606191

The secondary air injection heats up the catalytic converter more rapidly to its operating temperature and thus improves the emission levels in the warming-up phase.

Function 

The electric air pump (M33) is actuated through the secondary air injection relay. The current consumption of the electric air pump (M33) is as much as 35 A.

Air injection relay and air pump switchover valve (Y32) are actuated by is as much as 35 A.

Air injection relay and air pump switchover valve (Y32) are actuated by the motor electronics control unit simultaneously for maximum 90 seconds after engine start, if:

After an actuation, the air injection remains blocked until the coolant temperature has risen to more than approx. +60 °C and then drops again to below 40 °C.

The pump draws in air through a maintenance-free filter and pumps it to the air shutoff valve. The valve at the same time prevents exhaust gases from flowing back to the air pump (check valve for injected air discontinued).

The air pump switchover valve is supplied with vacuum from the intake manifold through a check valve. The air pump switchover valve, when actuated, switches the intake manifold pressure through to the air shutoff valve (126). The aspiration shutoff valves open and the air supplied by the air pump is forced through drillings in the cylinder heads to the exhaust side.

The injected air reacts with the hot exhaust gases in the outlet port. An oxidation of carbon monoxides (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) takes place and results in an additional increase in the exhaust temperature.

On engine 137 the secondary air injection can be actuated individually for each bank of cylinders because of the cylinder shutoff, two air pump switchover valves (Y32/1, Y32/2).
