A.I.R. pump on '02 S-10

Jul 23, 2009 2 Replies

Trying to figure out how the computer knows the AIR pump is not running on startup on my '02 S-10. The AIR pump motor is bad because of the exhaust gases that condensed in the housing with the rubber cap via the check valve that is surely leaking. I THINK the O2 sensor is ratting out the AIR pump to the computer. Anyone know if this is how it works? Thanks, Pete


By monitoring the oxygen sensor signal.
