When the key is turned ON, the powertrain control module (PCM) energizes the fuel pump relay which sends voltage to the lift pump. The lift pump remains ON during the glow plug cycle. If the engine is not started immediately after the glow plug cycle, the PCM shuts the fuel lift pump OFF and waits for the crank reference signal.
The numbers below refer to step numbers on the diagnostic table.
This step checks for proper operation of the fuel pump.
This step checks the operation of the fuel pump by supplying 12 volts to the fuel pump control circuit.
This step checks the battery feed circuit to the fuel pump relay.
