Secondary air injection (AIR) system: Function

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 15 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volkswagen GTI, 2005 Volkswagen Jetta, 2005 Volkswagen GTI, 2004 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2004 Volkswagen GTI. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Air is blown behind the exhaust valves by the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system for a maximum of 100 seconds following cold start (coolant temperature of +5 ° C to +33 ° C). This produces an oxygen rich exhaust gas, causes afterburning and reduces the heating-up phase of the catalytic converter. Activation is triggered by the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 via Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay J299 to Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Solenoid Valve N112 , (change-over valve) and combination valve.
