When vehicle is cold ("open loop" mode), PCM provides a ground for the electric air pump relay. When relay is energized, power is supplied to the electric air pump. When fuel system goes into "closed loop" or electric air pump has been on for more than a precalibrated period, the PCM opens the ground circuit. When relay is de-energized, air is diverted to the atmosphere until air pump stops spinning, or an internal stop valve closes when relay is de-energized.
