5 Air Injector Reactor
(AIR) system
General information
1The air injection reactor system reduces
carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon content
in the exhaust gases by injecting fresh air into
the hot exhaust gases leaving the exhaust
ports. When fresh air is mixed with hot
exhaust gases, oxidation is increased,
reducing the concentration of hydrocarbons
and carbon monoxide and converting them
into harmless carbon dioxide and water.
2The air injection system is composed of an
air pump, diverter valve (bypass), check valve,
air injection manifold, vacuum delay valve,
vacuum control solenoid, air pump magnetic
clutch, air pump clutch relay and hoses (see
illustration). The air pump is driven by a belt
from the crankshaft and supplies compressed
air to the exhaust manifold(s). The check valve
prevents the reverse flow of exhaust gases into
the system. The vacuum-operated (early
models) or electrically-operated (later models)air cut-off valve prevents air from being drawn
into the exhaust when the air pump is switched
off. System vacuum to the air cut-off valve is
controlled by the solenoid vacuum valve in
parallel circuit with the air pump. A delay valve
prevents vacuum loss to the solenoid valve
during wide open throttle operation.
3Injected air is controlled by the computer,
the air pump clutch and the air pump clutch
relay. The AIR system is used during warm-up
(58 to 83° F) to control emissions while the
engine is running rich. The oxygen sensor
feedback system cannot function while the AIR
system is operating. The computer controls
both systems during warm-up and operating
temperatures. If problems occur with the
AIR system relay or circuit, the on-board
diagnosis system will set a code 66.
Check
4Check the condition of the air pump
drivebelt, the injection hoses and the injection
manifold. Make sure that all components are
intact and there are no leaks.
5Check the operation of the air pump clutch
relay (see illustration)and the air pump
clutch. First remove the relay and check forbattery voltage to the relay. Also, check the
relay itself. Refer to the relay checking
procedure in Chapter 12. Extract codes from
the self-diagnosis system (see Section 3) and
check for a code 66, AIR relay malfunction.
6Make sure the electrical connector is
securely fastened to the diverter valve (see
illustration). If everything appears OK but a
fault code still sets, have the system
diagnosed by a dealer service department or
other qualified repair workshop.

7Disconnect the cable from the negative
terminal of the battery.
Caution: If the stereo in your vehicle is
equipped with an anti-theft system, make
sure you have the correct activation code
before disconnecting the battery.
8Disconnect the electrical connector from
the air pump clutch.
9Loosen the clips from the air inlet and outlet
hose and separate them from the air injection
pump.
10Loosen the adjuster and pivot bolts (see
illustration)and nuts but do not remove them
from the air injection pump brackets.

from the hub carrier (see Chapter 8).
4Remove the ABS sensor, the ABS harness
clip and cut off the cable tie which secures the
ABS harness to the carrier (see illustration).
5Remove the nut and bolt which attach the

4
If you want to renew the rear hub and
bearing assembly (or the ABS trigger wheel),
remove the hub carrier (see Section 11), then
take the carrier to a Jaguar dealer service
department or to an automotive machine
workshop. These parts require a hydraulic
press and special fixtures to dismantle and
reassemble.
13 Control arm (rear)-
removal and refitting

If they’re cracked, dried out or torn, take the
arm to an automotive machine workshop and
have them replaced.

the rear quarter panels. To do this, scribe a
line around the boot lid striker assembly to
provide a reference point. Then loosen the
bolts and reposition the striker as necessary
(see illustration). Following adjustment,
retighten the mounting bolts.
10Adjust the bump stops on the boot lid so
the boot lid is flush with the rear wings when
