Secondary air system Secondary air system,
function/components

The secondary air system permits faster warm-up
and thus makes the catalytic converter ready for
operation sooner after cold starting.
Principle
Due to over-enrichment of the mixture in the cold
start phase, there is an increased amount of
unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas. The
injection of secondary air improves the oxidation in
the catalytic converter and thus reduces emissions.
The heat produced by secondary oxidation reduces
start-up time for the catalytic converter therefore
improving the emission quality in the cold-running
phase.

Function

During the cold running phase, the engine
control module -6- actuates the secondary air
injection pump -1- via the secondary air
injection pump relay -5-. Air reaches the
combination valve for the secondary air inlet -3-.
Parallel to this the secondary air inlet valve -8-
is actuated, which allows the vacuum to reach
the combination valve for secondary air inlet -3-.
The combination valve for secondary air inlet
thus allows the secondary air to enter the
exhaust ducts of the cylinder head -9-.

Test requirements:

Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information
system VAS 5051 or VAG 1551 Scan Tool
connected.

Test sequence

Note:
The secondary air injection solenoid valve -
N112- and the wiring connections are monitored
by the engine control module.

- Read out Diagnotic Trouble Code (DTC)
memory of engine control module.
If a DTC relating to the secondary air injection
solenoid valve -N112- is displayed:

Note:
The illustration shows bottom view of intake line. - Remove hoses from secondary air injection solenoid valve -N112- (-2-)
but leave electrical connector plugged in.
