Pulsed Secondary Air Injection System Description

The air pump system is designed to advance the activation of the catalyst and to reduce the hydrocarbons (HC), carbon

monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas.

The system operates after the engine starts under the following conditions:

• The engine coolant temperature is between 0°C and 70°C (32°F and 158°F).

• The difference in engine coolant temperature is more than 20°C (36°F) between the time when the engine is started and

when the engine is stopped in the previous driving cycle.

AIR CONTROL VALVE

CHECK VALVE

When the engine is started, the air pump runs and sends fresh air to the air control valve. The air control valve allows the

fresh air to flow to the exhaust ports when its diaphragm is pulled by engine vacuum. It gets engine vacuum from the air

control solenoid, which is activated by the ECM. Once the fresh air flows into the exhaust ports near the exhaust valves, it

reacts with the exhaust gases, raising exhaust gas temperatures. This promotes faster warm-up of the catalytic converter.

The system operates for a maximum of 60 seconds, but the running time shortens in relation to the engine coolant tem-

perature and the intake air temperature. When the system is not operating, the air control solenoid and the air control

valve are closed to prevent exhaust gases from entering the system.

ECM Data

By connecting the OBD II scan tool or the Honda PGM Tester to the 16P data link connector (DLC), various data can be

retrieved from the ECM. The items listed in the table below conform to the SAE recommended practice.

The Honda PGM Tester also reads data beyond that recommended by SAE.

Understanding this data will help to find the causes of intermittent failures or engine problems.

NOTE:

The "operating values" given below are approximate values and may be different depending on the environment and

the individual vehicle.

Unless noted otherwise, "at idle speed" means idling with the engine completely warmed up, A/T in or position,

M/T in neutral, and the A/C and all accessories turned off.

Data
Description
Operating Value

Freeze Data

Diagnostic

Trouble Code

(DTC)
If the ECM detects a problem, it will store it as a code

consisting of one letter and four numbers.

Depending on the problem, an SAE-defined code

(POxxx)
or a
Honda-defined code
(P1xxx)
will
be
output

to the tester.
If no problem is detected,

there is no output.

YES

Engine Speed
The ECM computes engine speed from the signals sent

from the Crankshaft Position sensor.

This data is used for determining the time and amount

of fuel injection.
Nearly the same as

tachometer indication at

idle speed:

A/T:
780 ± 50 rpm

M/T:
800 ± 50 rpm
YES

Vehicle Speed
The ECM converts pulse signals from the Vehicle

Speed Sensor (VSS) into speed data.
Nearly the same as

speedometer indication
YES

Manifold

Absolute

Pressure (MAP)
The absolute pressure created in the intake manifold by

engine load and speed.
With engine stopped:

Nearly the same as atmo-

spheric pressure at idle

speed:

24-37kPa(180-280

mmHg, 7.1-11.0 inHg)
YES

Engine Coolant

Temperature

(ECT)
The ECT sensor converts coolant temperature into volt-

age and signals the ECM. The sensor is a thermistor

whose internal resistance changes with coolant tem-

perature. The ECM uses the voltage signals from the

ECT sensor to determine the amount of injected fuel.
With cold engine:

Same as ambient temper-

ature and IAT

With engine warmed up:

approx. 176-194°F

(80 - 90°C)
YES

Heated Oxygen

Sensor (HO2S)

(Bank 1, Sensor 1)

(Bank 1, Sensor 2)

(Bank 2, Sensor 1)

(Bank 2, Sensor 2)
The Heated Oxygen Sensor detects the oxygen content

in the exhaust gas and sends voltage signals to the

ECM. Based on these signals, the ECM controls the

air/fuel ratio. When the oxygen content is high (that is,

when the ratio is leaner than the stoichiometric ratio),

the voltage signal is lower. When the oxygen content is

low (that is, when the ratio is richer than the stoichio-

metric ratio), the voltage signal is higher.
0.0-1.25V

At idle speed:

about 0.1-0.9V
