Test Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2004 GMC Envoy XUV, 2004 GMC Envoy XL, 2004 GMC Envoy, and 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 9:  This step determines if excessive resistance on the supply voltage circuit between the AIR fuse and the AIR pump relay is the cause for an inoperative AIR pump. Two ohms of resistance on this circuit can prevent the AIR pump from running.
  2. 13:  This step determines if excessive resistance on the AIR pump relay circuit and PCM driver is the cause for an inoperative AIR pump relay. The test lamp in series is intended to generate a electrical load on this circuit. 90 ohms of resistance on this circuit can prevent the AIR pump relay from operating.
  3. 17:  This step determines if excessive resistance on the supply circuit is the cause for an inoperative AIR pump. Two ohms of resistance on this circuit can prevent the AIR pump from running.
  4. 18:  This step determines if excessive resistance on the ground circuit is the cause for an inoperative AIR pump. Two ohms of resistance on this circuit can prevent the AIR pump from running.
  5. 19:  This step determines if the AIR system is operating normally.
