Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Isuzu i-370, 2007 GMC Canyon, and 2007 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Secondary Air Injection Pump Malfunction

- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the AIR pump relay switch B+ circuit terminal 30 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the controlled output circuit for a short to ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the AIR pump.
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the AIR pump ground circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

- Connect the J 36169-HD
with a 50A fuse between the AIR pump relay switch B+ circuit terminal 30 and the controlled output circuit terminal 87. Verify the AIR pump is activated.
- If the AIR pump does not activate, test the controlled output circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the AIR pump.
- Remove the J 36169-HD .
- Connect a test lamp between the AIR pump relay coil ignition circuit terminal 86 and the AIR pump relay control circuit terminal 85.
- Ignition ON, command the AIR pump relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the AIR pump relay control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the AIR pump relay control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the air pump relay.
Secondary Air Injection Solenoid Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the AIR solenoid relay.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the controlled output circuit terminal 87 and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the controlled output circuit for a short to voltage.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the AIR pump relay coil ignition circuit terminal 86 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the AIR pump relay switch B+ circuit terminal 30 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the controlled output circuit for a short to ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the AIR solenoid valve.
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the AIR solenoid ground circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect the harness connector at the AIR solenoid valve.
- Connect a 10A fused jumper wire between the AIR solenoid relay switch B+ circuit terminal 30 and the controlled output circuit terminal 87. Verify the AIR solenoid valve activates.
- If the AIR solenoid valve does not activate, test the controlled output circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the AIR solenoid valve.
- Remove the 10A fused jumper wire.
- Connect a test lamp between the AIR solenoid relay coil ignition circuit terminal 86 and the relay coil control circuit terminal 85.
- Ignition ON, command the AIR solenoidrelay ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the air pump relay.
Secondary Air Injection System Pressure Low
- Engine running, inspect for exhaust leaks between the AIR solenoid valve and the catalytic converter.
- If an exhaust leak is detected, repair as necessary.
- If an exhaust leak is detected, repair as necessary.
- Engine running, connect the J 36169-HD
with a 50A fuse between the AIR pump relay switch B+ circuit terminal 30 and the controlled output circuit terminal 87. Verify the AIR Pressure Sensor parameter is not 20-25 kPa above BARO.
- If 20-25 kPa above BARO, replace the AIR pump relay.
- Ignition OFF, remove the fused jumper wire and connect the AIR pump relay.
- Remove the air inlet hose at the AIR pump.
- Engine running, command the AIR solenoid relay ON while observing the AIR Pressure Sensor parameter. Verify the reading is not 8-10 kPa above BARO.
- If 8-10 kPa above BARO, the AIR pump inlet hoses/pipes are restricted. Remove the restriction or replace the inlet hose/pipe.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the hose at the AIR pump outlet.
- Disconnect the hose at the AIR solenoid valve inlet.
- Install a length of standard 1 inch I.D. (25.4 mm) hose from the AIR pump outlet to the AIR solenoid valve inlet.
- Engine running, command the AIR solenoid ON while observing the AIR Pressure Sensor parameter. Verify the reading is not 8-10 kPa above BARO.
- If 8-10 kPa above BARO, test/inspect the AIR pump outlet hoses/pipes for leaks or restrictions.
- Test all AIR pump wiring and connections for less than 2 ohms. If the wiring and connections test normal, replace the AIR pump.
Secondary Air Injection System Pressure High
- Ignition OFF, remove the AIR solenoid valve.
- Connect the AIR pump outlet pipe/hose to the AIR solenoid valve.
- Connect the AIR pump outlet pipe/hose to the AIR solenoid valve.
- Engine running, command the AIR solenoid relay ON while observing the AIR Pressure Sensor parameter. The reading should be less than 11 kPa above BARO.
- If greater than the specified value, replace the AIR solenoid valve.
- Inspect the AIR solenoid valve gaskets for proper alignment. If normal, test/inspect the cylinder head or exhaust manifold for a restriction.
- Test all AIR pump wiring and connections for less than 2 ohms. If the wiring and connections test normal, replace the AIR pump.
