Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle .
Circuit/System Description
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 turns ON 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 turns OFF the fuel
pump relay after about 3 seconds.
Diagnostic Aids
The following conditions may cause the fuel pump fuse to open:
• | There is an intermittent short to ground in the supply voltage circuit
of the fuel pump |
• | The fuel pump has an intermittent internal condition. |

Circuit/System Verification
Important: Fuel pump DTCs may set when using the Fuel
Pump output control.
- Ignition ON, command the fuel pump relay ON with a scan tool. You should hear
the fuel pump operate for 3-5 seconds and then turn OFF.
- If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification Test, then operate
the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle
within the conditions that are captured in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records Data List.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, the fuel pump should not be operating.
⇒ | If the fuel pump operates continuously, test for a short to voltage in supply
voltage circuit of the fuel pump. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace
the fuel pump relay. |
- Test the fuel pump fuse. The fuse should not be open.
⇒ | If the fuel pump fuse is open, test for a short to ground in the supply voltage
circuit of the fuel pump. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the fuel
pump. |
- Ignition OFF, remove the fuel pump relay from the electrical centre.
- Ignition ON, test for battery voltage between the B+ voltage circuit of
the fuel pump relay and known ground.
⇒ | If less than B+, repair the B+ voltage circuit of the fuel pump relay for an
open/high resistance. |
- Connect a 15-A fusible link wire between the B+ circuit of the fuel pump
relay and the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump. The fuel pump should operate.
⇒ | If the fuel pump does not operate, 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 circuit/connections test normal, replace the fuel pump. |
- If all circuit/connections test normal, test or replace the fuel pump
relay.
Component Testing
- Measure for 70-110 ohms of resistance between terminals 85
and 86 of the fuel pump relay.
⇒ | If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the fuel pump relay. |
- Measure for infinite resistance between the following terminals of the
fuel pump relay:
⇒ | If continuity is detected, replace the fuel pump relay. |
- Connect a 20-A fusible link wire from the positive terminal of the battery
to relay terminal 85. Connect a jumper wire from the negative terminal of the battery
to relay terminal 86. Measure for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and
87 of the relay.
⇒ | If the resistance measures more than 2 ohms, replace the fuel pump relay. |
