Inflator light

[Machoman]

A couple of days ago the compress stopped working on my Envoy. I have checked every fuse that the compressor uses. The light on the inflator button is blinking. The manual say that this is because of overheating. I find it hard to believe being that it is near 0 deg. out. I remember reading somewhere that the blinking is an error code. Does anyone know what this code is? I am getting one blink pause then two fast blinks…repeat.

Now the light only flashes once when I hit the button. I am so confused.

Maybe it's just dead. Did you try pulling the fuse to reset it?

 

[Machoman]

I pulled fuse #1 for 30 minutes, no change.

If you have a bluetooth OBD adapter, you can use Car Gauge Pro on an Android device to read any body codes. If there are any, it should pull them up.

Overheating is a constant quick flashing. 1-flash is a compressor problem, 2-flashes is a left sensor problem, 3- flashes is a right sensor problem.
Probably your compressor unit is toast, they are pretty much unrepairable other than a check valve and that's not your problem.
The unit also contains the brains of the system...Mike.
ps I bought mine from Arnott.

Are they under the spare tire like in the xl?

Mine was behind the passenger rear wheel...up next to frame..

The 113" wb compressor unit is behind the pass rear wheel. You can't pull up any codes as the system is a stand alone...it's all in the compressor unit and I don't believe it interfaces with any other systems.
NOTE: it does get input from the VSS.

Today I replaced the compressor with a brand new Arnott compressor. Installation wasn't too hard. The tube with the white compression ring was a pain. Problem, the compressor still won't turn on. Anyone have any ideas? My rear end is now all the way down.

I checked my manual and there is no start-up procedure after compressor replacement, should be plug n play. Other than the 30A fuse I can't think of anything other than the obvious gremlins. I would give the electrical connection at the compressor a good look that thing is in the worst possible environment, check for power there also.
I'm assuming that you got the correct unit for your wheel base...Mike.

 

[Machoman]

I have the correct compressor. I'm guessing the is a cut wire somewhere. Unfortunately the wire diagram doesn't show where the wires are ran.

 

[northcreek]

The black wire from the 8 pin connector relies on a chassis ground, make sure that you have that before any other probing.

 

[Machoman]

Does anyone know where the g305 location is?

Thanks

Turns out my problem was due to the power wire was cut. Some how the orange wire got sliced above the gas tank.
