Where is the Air Injection Pump relay? The relay they gave me at AutoZone doesn’t look like any relay in my fuse box.

Good afternoon,

I only see 2 relays and it is at the pump under the car. What relay are you replacing and can you attach a picture for me? I attached a diagram of the system as well. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.

Here is a picture of the error code PO411 and a picture of the relay they sold me.

The relay they sold me is not the same as relay number 69 in the fuse box. That was the first thing I checked. Do you think they sold me the wrong one?

There are 2 relays. The one they gave you is on the pump. The other is in the fuse block.

You need a scan tool to check all this. You need to command the system on to verify the pump and solenoid are working.

Circuit/System Description

The secondary air injection (AIR) system aids in the reduction of hydrocarbon emissions during a cold start. The system forces fresh filtered air into the exhaust stream in order to accelerate the catalyst operation. The secondary AIR injection pump provides filtered air on demand to the AIR solenoid check valve assembly. The AIR solenoid valve assembly controls the flow of air from the AIR pump to the exhaust manifold. The AIR pump relay supplies the current needed to operate the AIR pump. The AIR solenoid valve assembly has an integral check valve, pressure sensor, and solenoid valve. The pressure sensor monitors the air flow pressure from the AIR pump. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the internal pressure sensor with a 5-volt reference, a low reference, and a signal circuit. The signal circuit provides the control module with a voltage relative to internal AIR pressure changes.

The AIR diagnostic uses 3 phases to test the AIR system:

DTCs;P0411 and P2430 run during Phase 1
DTCs;P2430 and P2440 run during Phase 2
DTC;P2444 runs during Phase 3

During phase 1, both the AIR pump and the solenoid valve are activated. Normal secondary air function occurs. Expected system pressure is 8-15 kPa above BARO.

During phase 2, only the AIR pump is activated. The solenoid valve is closed. Pressure sensor performance and solenoid valve deactivation are tested. Expected system pressure is 15-22 kPa above BARO.

During phase 3, neither the AIR pump nor the solenoid valve is activated. AIR pump deactivation is tested. Expected system pressure equals BARO. In all 3 phases, testing is accomplished by comparing the measured pressure against the expected pressure. The control module can detect faults in the AIR pump, AIR solenoid, pressure sensor, and the exhaust check valve. The pressure sensor can also detect leaks and restrictions in the secondary AIR system plumbing.

Are you talking about the pump beside the motor? I didn’t see a relay on it.

Look around the motor for the air pump. It should be there as that is what turns on the pump motor when commanded by the ECM.
