Flexible Fuel Vehicle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Nissan Titan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Pinch fuel feed hose with two fingers.
  Fuel pressure pulsation should be felt on the fuel feed hose for 1 second after ignition switch is turned ON.
OK or NG

OK: INSPECTION END

NG: GO TO 2.
CHECK FUEL PUMP POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Check voltage between ECM terminal 113 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.
  Voltage: Battery voltage
OK or NG

OK: GO TO 5.

NG: GO TO 3.
CHECK FUEL PUMP POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-II
Check voltage between IPDM E/R terminal 46 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.

OK or NG

OK: GO TO 10.

NG: Replace condenser-2.
CHECK FUEL PUMP POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect "fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump" harness connector.
3. Disconnect IPDM E/R harness connector E119.
4. Disconnect dropping resistor harness connector.
5. Check harness continuity between IPDM E/R terminal 13 and "fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump" terminal 1, "fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump" terminal 2 and dropping resistor terminal 2, dropping resistor terminal 1 and ground.
  Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
  
  Continuity should exist.
6. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG

OK: GO TO 12.

NG: GO TO 11.
