Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The secondary air injection (AIR) system aids in the reduction of hydrocarbon emissions during a cold start. The electric air pump forces fresh air into the exhaust stream in order to accelerate the catalyst operation. Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the secondary air injection pump relay and secondary air solenoid valve relay. The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the relays by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The ECM monitors the control circuits for open, short to ground, or shorted to a voltage condition.
