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 the fuel pump supply voltage circuit. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the fuel pump relay.
- Ignition OFF, remove the fuel pump relay from the electrical center.
- Connect a test lamp between the ground circuit of the fuel pump relay and the positive terminal of the battery.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 0.1 volt between the ground circuit of the fuel pump relay and the negative terminal of the battery.
- If greater than 0.1 volt, repair the ground circuit of the fuel pump relay for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel pump relay and the negative terminal of the battery.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 0.1 volt between the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel pump relay and the positive terminal of the battery.
- If greater than 0.1 volt, repair the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel pump relay for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Connect a 15-amp fused jumper wire between the ignition 1 voltage 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 motor 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.
- With the ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the control circuit and the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the fuel pump relay.
- With the ignition ON, use a scan tool to command the fuel pump relay ON and OFF. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF with each command.
- If the test lamp remains ON all the time, test for a short to ground on the control circuit. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- If the test lamp remains OFF all the time, test for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance on the control circuit. If circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuit/connections test normal, test or replace the fuel pump relay.
IMPORTANT:
The test lamp is used to load the circuit and may not illuminate.
