1997 AUDI A4 relay

26-42


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-.

Checking power supply

Note:
The power supply for the secondary air injection
solenoid valve -N112- is via the fuel pump relay.

Test requirements:

Fuse for secondary air injection solenoid
valve OK.

If the LED does not light up:

- Check wiring from contact 1 on the connector
via the fuse to the fuel pump relay for an open
circuit:

- Repair open circuit, if necessary
If the LED lights up:

- Check actuation.

Checking actuation

- Connect voltage tester VAG 1527 B to contacts 1 (positive) and 2 of
connector.
- Initiate output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) and activate secondary air
injection solenoid valve -N112-.

LED must flash.

Test sequence

- Initiate output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) and
activate Secondary Air Injection Pump relay -
J299-.

A - If relay does not respond:
B - If relay responds but secondary air injection pump motor does not
run:
The secondary air injection pump relay-2- (in electronics box of
plenum chamber, left) must respond and secondary air injection pump
motor -V101- must run intermittently.
