DTC P2440
Secondary air injection system Shut-Off valve jams in open position
| Circuit/System Description |
A secondary air injection system helps to reduce hydrocarbon emissions during cold starts. An electric pump forces fresh air into the exhaust flow through a mechanical valve. This is in order to speed up the catalytic converter action. A pressure sensor monitors the air flow from the auxiliary air pump. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the 5 V reference circuit and grounds the low reference circuit. The sensor provides a signal voltage to the engine control module in proportion to the pressure changes in the auxiliary air system.
The ignition voltage is supplied directly to the air pump's relay. The engine control module controls the relay by grounding the control circuit, which activates the auxiliary air pump's relay. Battery voltage is supplied to the auxiliary air pump when the relay's contacts close.

| 1. |
Ignition ON, read DTC with the scan tool. Check that DTC P2431, P2432 or P2433 are not set.
|
|
| 2. |
If a DTC is set, go to
DTC (DTC) list - vehicle
for further fault diagnosis.
|
|
| 3. |
Compare the scan tool's barometric pressure with the table
Altitude versus barometric pressure
. The barometric pressure must be within the range for the specific altitude above sea level.
|
|
| 4. |
If not within the specified range, go to
DTC P2227, P2228, or P2229 (LAU)
for continued diagnosis.
|
|
| 5. |
Check the scan tool's secondary air injection system pressure and barometric parameters. The values should be between 3 kPa (0.4 psi).
|
|
| 6. |
If not within the specified range, go to
DTC P2431-P2433
for continued diagnosis.
|
|
| 7. |
With the engine running, scan tool's secondary air injection system pressure and barometric parameters. The values should continue to be between 3 kPa (0.4 psi).
|
|
| 8. |
Refer to
Observe Pump, secondary air injection - continuous operation
Request secondary air injection system relay ON with the scan tool. The secondary air injection system's sensor should show greater increase than 10 kPa (1.45 psi). |
|
| 9. |
Drive the vehicle within the conditions for setting the DTC in order to check that it does not occur. The vehicle can also be driven within the condition from 'Freeze Frame'/the recorded malfunction situation.
|
|
| Circuit/System Testing |
Check the secondary air injection system's valve with regard to binding, damage or deformation which could prevent it from fully closing.
Repair or replace the secondary air injection system's valve if necessary.
| Repair Instructions |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completed diagnosis procedure.
