Ford 5.8L Secondary Air (Thermactor) System Diagram - Component Locations
Ford 5.8L secondary air system schematic showing AIR diverter, bypass and check valves with engine routing views.
This document is a two-part factory-style schematic illustrating the secondary air injection (Thermactor) system component locations on a Ford 5.8L V8 engine. The upper illustration shows the complete engine assembly with callouts identifying the Air Diverter (AIRD) Valve (noted as hidden), the Air Bypass (AIRB) Valve, the Secondary Air Dump Silencer, the Air Pump Inlet Silencer/Filter, and the Pump Assembly, with an arrow indicating the front of the engine for orientation. The lower illustration shows a close-up of the intake manifold area, identifying the Air Control Valve and the Check Valves, again with a 'Front of Engine' orientation arrow. Figure reference numbers A9394-D and A15876-A appear on the upper and lower diagrams respectively. A reader can use this document to locate and identify each secondary air/emissions component on the 5.8L engine for inspection, diagnosis, or replacement — for example, finding where the AIRB and AIRD valves sit relative to the air pump, or where the check valves attach near the intake manifold. The diagram contains no torque specifications, wire colors, part numbers for replacement components, or hose routing text beyond the labeled callouts.

Frequently asked questions
- Where is the air bypass (AIRB) valve on the Ford 5.8L engine?
- Per the diagram, the AIRB valve is located on the driver-side front area of the engine, above the secondary air dump silencer and near the air diverter (AIRD) valve, which is noted as hidden.
- Where are the secondary air check valves on the 5.8L?
- The lower diagram shows the check valves mounted near the intake manifold, connected by hoses to the air control valve.
- What components make up the 5.8L secondary air system in this diagram?
- The diagram labels the air diverter (AIRD) valve, air bypass (AIRB) valve, secondary air dump silencer, air pump inlet silencer/filter, pump assembly, air control valve, and check valves.
- Where is the secondary air pump inlet silencer/filter located?
- It is shown low on the front of the engine, below the secondary air dump silencer and near the pump assembly.
