Secondary air injection (AIR) system: Function
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
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.
