MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Air Injection Control Driver (AID) detects an open or short in the air pump and Air Switching Valve (ASV) circuit according to the terminal voltage and sends a signal as the diagnostic information to the ECM.
When a cold engine is started, the ECM immediately transmits command signals to the AID to drive the air pump and ASV.
The AID outputs the ASV malfunction signal to the ECM if either: 1) the AID receives the command signal from the ECM to drive the ASV, but the AID output voltage to the ASV is low, or 2) the AID does not receive the command signal from the ECM to drive the ASV, but the AID output voltage to the ASV is high.
The ECM sets the DTC based on the diagnostic signal from the AID.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
The diagnostic information output from the AID can be confirmed by connecting an oscilloscope to the diagnostic information terminal of the AID.


  1. A066060E44
  2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
  3. Connect an oscilloscope probe to the AIDI terminal of the ECM.
  4. Start the engine and turn the tester ON.
  5. On the tester, select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
  6. Monitor the output voltage of the AID (duty ratio signal).

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

1.INSPECT AIR PUMP ASSEMBLY
