The control module enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The control module will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the control module detects ignition reference pulses. The control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference pulses are detected. The control module disables the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON.
The control module monitors the voltage on the fuel pump relay control circuit. If the control module detects an incorrect voltage on the fuel pump relay control circuit, a fuel pump relay control DTC sets.
• | The ignition voltage is between 9-18 volts. |
• | DTC P0230 runs continuously when the above conditions are met. |
• | The control module detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match. |
• | The above condition is met for a minimum of 2.5 seconds. |
DTC P0230 is a Type B DTCs.
DTC P0230 is a Type B DTCs.

• | Fuel Pump Relay Ckt. Short Volt Test Status |
⇒ | If the test lamp illuminate, test the ground circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If not the specified value, test the fuel pump relay control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If not the specified value, test the fuel pump relay control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
