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 following conditions may cause the fuel pump fuse to open:
• | The fuse is faulty. |
• | There is an intermittent short to ground in the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump. |
• | The fuel pump has an intermittent internal condition. |
J 43244 Relay Puller Pliers
Ignition ON, command the fuel pump relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. Listen/feel for relay to click and for fuel pump to turn ON and OFF.
⇒ | If the fuel pump operates continuously, test the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the fuel pump relay. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If the fuel pump fuse is open, test for the following conditions: |
• | A short to ground in the relay switch B+ circuit |
• | A short to ground in the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump |
⇒ | If the above circuits test normal, replace the fuel pump module. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the fuel pump does not activate, test for the following conditions: |
• | An open/high resistance in the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump |
• | An open/high resistance in the ground circuit of the fuel pump |
⇒ | If the above circuits test normal, replace the fuel pump module. |
⇒ | If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the fuel pump relay. |

⇒ | If continuity is detected, replace the fuel pump relay. |
⇒ | If the resistance measures more than 2 ohms, replace the fuel pump relay. |
