DESCRIPTION

Refer to DTC P0412 2007 MY LX470 [08/2006 -        ]; 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0412; Secondary Air Injection System Switching Valve "A" Circuit+ .

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P2444

Air pump stuck ON.

The secondary air pressure is more than 5 kPa (38 mmHg) despite the ECM ordering the air pump to turn off.

(2 trip detection logic)

  • Short in air pump circuit
  • Air injection control driver (AID)
  • Pressure sensor
  • Open or short in pressure sensor circuit
  • ECM

P2445

Air pump stuck OFF or air injection volume is insufficient.

The amount of air flow is below the criteria.

(The secondary air pressure is less than specified value despite the ECM ordering the air pump turn ON.)

(2 trip detection logic)

  • Air pump fuse
  • Vacuum hose
  • Air pump assembly
  • Air injection control driver (AID)
  • Open in air pump circuit
  • Air injection system piping
  • Pressure sensor
  • Open or short in pressure sensor circuit
  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

P2444:

The ECM observes the pressure in the secondary air passage using the pressure sensor located on the air switching valve in the secondary air injection system. The sensor measures the pressure in the secondary air passage and sends a signal to the ECM.

If the pressure level from the sensor exceeds a certain level despite the ECM turning off the air pump, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the secondary air injection system and sets a DTC.

P2445:

The ECM calculates the amount of air flow within the secondary air system based on the output values of the pressure sensor and mass air flow meter.

The ECM determines whether the amount of air flow is normal or not according to the calculated value. When the amount of air flow is below the criteria, the ECM stores the DTC and illuminates the MIL.
