Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  Listen for a click when the fuel pump relay operates. When the fuel pump relay is commanded On with the scan tool, the ECM pulses the fuel pump relay ON and OFF several times. Repeat the command as necessary.
  1. 4:  This step verifies that the ECM is providing a ground to the fuel pump relay.
  2. 5:  This step tests the Ignition 1 Voltage circuit of the fuel pump relay.
Step Action Yes No

5 
  1. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit and the Ignition 1 Voltage circuit of the fuel pump relay.
  2. Command the fuel pump ON with a scan tool.
Does the test lamp pulse ON and OFF?		 Go to Step 7  Go to Step 9 
6 Test the control circuit of the fuel pump relay for one of the following conditions:
  • An open
  • A short to ground
  • High resistance

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 12  Go to Step 8 
7 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the fuel pump relay. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 12  Go to Step 10 
8 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the engine control module (ECM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 12  Go to Step 11 
9
  1. Repair one of the following conditions in the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel pump relay:
    • An open
