PSE pump overpressure valve

There is indeed a PSE pump. It is located in the trunk on the driver's side and adjacent to the rear lamp. The problem is that my lumbar supports will inflate for about 30 minutes and then deflate. If I turn the ignition off and then restart the car, the bladders will inflate for another 30 minutes or so. The door locks and trunk release which are also dependent on this pump don't have an issue. I have inspected the lines and fittings at the pump and in the seats and there does not appear to be an obvious leak. So, I am wondering if the overpressure valve that may malfunctioning. If so, does anyone know the PSI provided by the pump and can the valve be replaced?

usually the problem is the bladders in the seat itself.

I would look to getting a pressure gauge on the seat bladders.... test them for pressure, pinch off the supply line to see if the bladders have a hole, or is the checkvalve letting air back into the pump
