Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Aztek and 2004 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  Tests for voltage at the coil side of the accessory inflator solenoid. The ELC relay fuse supplies power to the coil side of the accessory inflator solenoid.
  2. 3:  Verifies that the height sensor is providing ground to the accessory inflator solenoid.
  3. 4:  Tests if ground is constantly being applied to the accessory inflator solenoid.
  4. 9:  Verifies that the sensor is self tested after replacement.
