Circuit/System Verification

2006 Isuzu Ascender S, 5.3 M, 4WDSECTION Circuit/System Verification
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. If any other AIR DTCs are set, perform those diagnostics first.
  2. With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, observe that the AIR pump is not operating.
    • If the AIR pump is operating, 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
  3. 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, 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
  4. 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 barometric pressure (BARO).
    • If not equal to approximately 20-25 kPa above BARO, proceed with Circuit/System Testing.
  5. 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, proceed with Circuit/System Testing.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
