Step 11:
Check the secondary air combination valve relay 1 power source.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Measure the voltage between the secondary air combination valve relay 1 connector and chassis ground.
Is the voltage 10V or more?
Yes, go to step 12.
No, repair the open or ground short circuit of power supply circuit.
Step 12:
Check harness between ECM and secondary air combination valve relay 1 connector.
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector of ECM.
3. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and secondary air combination valve relay 1 connector.
Is the resistance less than 1 OHM?
Yes, go to step 13.
No, repair the open circuit of harness between ECM and secondary air combination valve relay 1 connector.
Step 13:
Check the harness between ECM and secondary air combination valve relay 1 connector.
Measure the resistance between the secondary air combination valve relay 1 connector and chassis ground.
Is the resistance 1 M-Ohm or more?
Yes, Repair the poor contact of the ECM connector.
No, repair the ground short circuit of harness between ECM and secondary air combination valve relay 1 connector.
