Report: Water Drawn into Secondary Air Injection Pump May Cause Pump to Fail

Cadillac Seville STS Problem

8 Reports

Me Too

Model Years Affected: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003

Average Mileage: 55,500 mi (43,000 mi - 70,000 mi)

Water may be drawn into the secondary air injection (AIR) pump causing the pump to fail and the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Our technicians tell us there is a kit available from General Motors to relocate the air intake for the pump which should prevent future damage from water intrusion.
