Fuel Pump: Inspection

  1. INSPECT FUEL PUMP RESISTANCE 

    Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

    Resistance: 0.2 to 0.3 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

    If the resistance is not as specified, replace the fuel pump.

  2. INSPECT FUEL PUMP OPERATION 
    1. Connect the lead wire to the fuel pump.
    2. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal

      NOTE:
      • These tests must be done quickly (within 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out. 
      • Keep the fuel pump as far away from the battery as possible. 
      • Always do switching on the battery side. 

      If operation is not as specified, replace the fuel pump and/or read wire.

    3. Disconnect the lead wire from the fuel pump.
