CHECKING THE AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
Air injection
The air induction system burns unburned ex-
haust gases by injecting fresh air (secondary air)
into the exhaust port, reducing the emission of
hydrocarbons. When there is negative pressure
at the exhaust port, the reed valve opens, allow-
ing secondary air to flow into the exhaust port.
The required temperature for burning the un-
burned exhaust gases is approximately 600 to
700 °C (1112 to 1292 °F).
Air cut-off valve
The air cut-off valve is controlled by the signals
from the ECU in accordance with the combus-
tion conditions. Ordinarily, the air cut-off valve
opens to allow the air to flow during idle and
closes to cut-off the flow when the vehicle is be-
ing driven. However, if the coolant temperature
is below the specified value, the air cut-off valve
remains open and allows the air to flow into the
exhaust pipe until the temperature becomes
higher than the specified value.

INSTALLING THE AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
1. Install:
• Reed valve plate "1"
TIP
Align the protection "a" on the cylinder head cov-
er with the hole "b" in the reed valve plate.
2. Install:
• Reed valve assembly
TIP
Install the reed valve assembly so that the open
side turns to the intake side of the engine.
