Circuit Description
The status of the lift pump is monitored by the PCM. This signal is also used in order to store a DTC if the fuel pump relay is defective or if the fuel pump voltage is lost while the engine is running. There should be about 12 volts on circuit 120 during the glow plug cycle.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The PCM performs this DTC diagnostic continuously. |
| • | The fuel lift pump is commanded ON. |
| • | The difference between the ignition voltage and the fuel pump voltage is greater than 4 volts. |
| • | The condition was met for 2 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive drive trip the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the Failure Records store this information. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive drive trip, the Freeze Frame records the operating conditions at the time of failure and updates the Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The PCM will turn the MIL off after three consecutive trips without a fault condition. |
| • | A History DTC will clear after forty consecutive warm-up cycles during which the diagnostic does not fail (the coolant temperature has risen 5°C (40°F) from start up coolant temperature and the engine coolant temperature exceeds 71°C (160°F) of that same ignition cycle). |
| • | Use of a Scan Tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
This DTC will not check the fuel pump for operation.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the Diagnostic Table.
-
This fuel pump can also be felt for a pulsing which will also determine if the fuel pump is working.

Important: Before clearing any DTCs, use the Scan Tool Capture Info to save freeze frame and failure records for reference, as the Scan Tool loses data when using the Clear Info function. Was the Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check performed? | -- | Go to A Powertrain On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check | |
