The document discusses Toyota's Pulsed Secondary Air Injection (PAIR) system which introduces additional air into the exhaust flow to allow combustion to continue into the exhaust system, lowering HC and CO emissions. The PAIR system uses a valve, vacuum switching valve, check valve, and resonator controlled by the ECM to draw air into the exhaust manifold during cold engine operation and deceleration. An inoperative PAIR system can increase emissions by lacking the oxygen needed to promote emission oxidation in the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter.
