D. Check the harness for abrasions and pinch points from the ARD air pump back to the relay.
E. Thoroughly inspect the relay and the connector for the relay.
F. Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the ECM connector that are associated with the ARD air pump relay.
Loose connection or damaged wire
Result: There is a fault in a connector or the wiring.
Repair the connectors or the harness and/or replace the connectors or the harness. Ensure that all of the seals are correctly in place and ensure that the connectors are correctly connected. Replace any blown fuses.
