Default air pump

The air pump cuts on and off all the time.... I have no idea why but its annoying is it supposed to be doing this constantly. when ac is on it draws battery down to 10.5 volts when it kicks on.
it only kicks on for two seconds then quits? assuming it senses current draw and quits. I have no idea. any suggestions?

I have a 98 coupe

Might it be the AIR test, which the PCM performs, and if fails the test, sets a P1415/6 (see FSM -- page 6-920 for y2k).

Have you done anything to the O2s or the PCM programming?

there is no code, but I thought its strange for getting a dimming issue all the time and voltage constantly shooting to like 10.5 volts after the air pump comes on... which it comes on all the time but turns on and off....
just wanted to know if its normal for this to do that....
