The engine control module (ECM) provides a ground to the coil side of the fuel pump relay. When the ignition switch is first turned ON, the ECM energizes the fuel pump relay, which applies power to the fuel pump. The ECM enables the fuel pump relay as long as the engine is cranking or running, and crankshaft reference pulses are received. If no crankshaft reference pulses are received, the ECM de-energizes the fuel pump relay after about 3 seconds.

P1230

The ECM detects the fuel pump relay control circuit is open or shorted to ground.

P1231

The ECM detects the fuel pump relay control circuit control circuit is shorted to voltage.

DTCs P1230 and P1231 are Type C DTCs.

DTCs P1230 and P1231 are Type C DTCs.

Special Tools

1. Ignition ON, command the Fuel Pump Relay ON with a scan tool. You should hear an audible click for about 3-5 seconds.
2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the fuel pump relay.
2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the relay coil supply circuit terminal 86 and ground.

⇒	If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the relay coil supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the relay coil control circuit terminal 85 and the relay coil supply circuit terminal 86.
4. Ignition ON, command the fuel pump relay ON with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON for about 3-5 seconds and then turn OFF.

⇒	If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

⇒	If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the fuel pump relay.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the fuel pump relay.
2. Test for 70-110 ohms between terminals 85 and 86.

⇒	If not within the specified range, replace the fuel pump relay.

3. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:

•

30 and 86

•

30 and 87

•

30 and 85

•

85 and 87

⇒	If not the specified value, replace the fuel pump relay.

4. Install a 20A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms between relay terminal 30 and 87.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, replace the fuel pump relay.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
