Vacuum Solenoid for the secondary air injection (SAI) system on the V8 EFI petrol engine.

The solenoid is switched by the engine control module and routes manifold vacuum through to the secondary air injection control valves. During cold running the valves are held open and the air pump delivers fresh air into the exhaust ports, raising exhaust gas temperature so the catalytic converters reach operating temperature sooner and hydrocarbon emissions fall away more quickly. Once the engine reaches temperature the solenoid de-energises, the vacuum supply is cut and the valves close.

A failed solenoid leaves the injection circuit inactive, which the engine management system logs as a secondary air injection fault.

Frequently asked questions

What does the secondary air injection vacuum solenoid do?
The secondary air injection vacuum solenoid is switched by the engine control module and routes manifold vacuum to the SAI control valves. During cold running it opens the valves so the air pump feeds fresh air into the exhaust ports, helping the catalytic converters warm up faster and cutting cold-start hydrocarbon emissions.
Which engines and models does this solenoid fit?
This vacuum solenoid fits the Range Rover P38 (1994-2001) with the 4.0L or 4.6L V8 EFI petrol engine, and the Discovery 2 (1998-2004) V8 EFI petrol. It's specific to the secondary air injection system on these V8 petrol engines, not diesel variants.
What are the signs the SAI vacuum solenoid has failed?
A failed secondary air injection solenoid leaves the injection circuit inactive, which the engine management system logs as a secondary air injection fault, often with a warning light. The air pump may run without effect. The fault typically appears as a stored SAI-related code during cold-start operation.
