WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- If any other AIR DTCs are set then perform those diagnostics first.
- With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, observe that the AIR pump is not operating.
- If the AIR pump is operating then test for the following:
- A short to voltage in the AIR pump voltage supply circuit
- A faulty AIR pump relay
- A short to ground in the AIR pump relay control circuit
- A faulty control module
- With the ignition ON, the engine OFF, and the AIR pump enabled with a scan tool, observe that the AIR pump is operating.
- If the AIR pump is not operating then test for the following:
- Resistance greater than 2 ohms in the AIR pump voltage supply or ground circuits
- High resistance or a short to ground in either AIR pump relay voltage supply circuit
- High resistance or a short to voltage in the AIR pump relay control circuit
- A faulty AIR pump relay
- A faulty AIR pump
- A faulty control module
- With the engine RUNNING, enable the AIR pump with a scan tool and observe that the AIR Pressure Sensor parameter equals approximately 20-25 kPa above BARO.
- If not equal to approximately 20-25 kPa above BARO then proceed with Circuit/System Testing.
- With the engine RUNNING, enable the AIR solenoid with a scan tool and observe that the AIR Pressure Sensor parameter equals approximately 8-10 kPa above BARO.
- If not equal to approximately 8-10 kPa above BARO then proceed with Circuit/System Testing.
