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.

The following conditions may cause the fuel pump fuse to open:

1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P1230 and P1231 should not set.

⇒	If any DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.

2. 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.
3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

1. Ignition OFF, the fuel pump should not be running.

⇒	If the fuel pump runs continuously, test the relay switch supply circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the fuel pump relay.

2. Test the fuel pump fuse. The fuse should not be open.

⇒	If the fuel pump fuse is open, test the relay switch supply circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the fuel pump.

3. Ignition OFF, remove the fuel pump relay from the electrical center with the J 43244 .
4. Ignition ON, test for battery voltage between the relay switch B+ voltage circuit terminal 30 and ground.

⇒	If less than B+, repair the relay switch B+ voltage circuit for an open/high resistance.

5. Connect a 15A fused jumper wire between the relay switch B+ circuit terminal 30 and the relay switch supply circuit terminal 87. The fuel pump should turn ON.

⇒	If the fuel pump does not turn ON, test for the following conditions:

•	An open/high resistance in the relay switch supply circuit

•	An open/high resistance in the ground circuit of the fuel pump

⇒	If the circuits test normal, replace the fuel pump.

6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the fuel pump relay.

1. Ignition OFF, remove the fuel pump relay from the electrical center with the J 43244 relay puller pliers.
2. Test for 70-110 ohms between terminals 85 and 86.

⇒	If not within the specified range, replace the fuel pump relay.

3. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:

•

30 and 86

•

30 and 87

•

30 and 85

•

85 and 87

⇒	If not the specified value, replace the fuel pump relay.

4. Install a 20A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, replace the fuel pump relay.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
