The engine control module (ECM) enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The ECM will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the ECM detects ignition reference pulses. The ECM continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference pulses are detected. The ECM disables the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON.

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

Important: An open or a short to voltage in the control circuit will cause both the Ckt. Open Test Status and the Ckt. Short Volts Test Status parameters to display Fault.

Ignition ON, command the fuel pump relay ON and OFF with a scan tool while observing the following control circuit status parameters:

Each parameter should toggle between OK and Not Run or Not Run and OK.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the fuel pump relay.
2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ground circuit terminal 86 and B+.

⇒	If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit terminal 86 for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance.

3. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the ground circuit terminal 86 and the control circuit terminal 85.

⇒	If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit terminal 86 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

4. Remove the test lamp.
5. Command the fuel pump relay ON with a scan tool. Verify the scan tool fuel pump relay Ckt. Short Grnd Test Status parameter is OK.

⇒	If not the specified value, test the fuel pump relay control circuit terminal 85 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

6. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the fuel pump relay control circuit terminal 85 and the ground circuit terminal 86. Command the fuel pump ON with a scan tool. Verify the scan tool fuel pump relay Ckt. Short Grnd Test Status parameter is Fault.

⇒	If not the specified value, test the fuel pump relay control circuit terminal 85 for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

7. Inspect the fuel pump fuse.

⇒	If the fuel pump fuse is open, test for the following conditions:

•	A short to ground in the relay switch B+ circuit

•	A short to ground in the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump

⇒	If the above circuits test normal, replace the fuel sender.

8. Verify that a test light illuminates between the B+ circuit and ground.

⇒	If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for an open/high resistance.

9. Connect a 15A fused jumper wire between the B+ circuit and the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump. Verify the fuel pump is activated.

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

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

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

⇒	If the above circuits test normal, replace the fuel sender.

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

1. Measure for 70-110 ohms between terminals 85 and 86 of the fuel pump relay.

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

2. Measure for infinite resistance between the following terminals of the fuel pump relay:

•

30 and 86

•

30 and 87

•

30 and 85

•

85 and 87

⇒	If continuity is detected, replace the fuel pump relay.

3. Connect a 20A fused jumper wire from the positive terminal of the battery to relay terminal 85. Connect a jumper wire from the negative terminal of the battery to relay terminal 86. Measure for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87 of the relay.

⇒	If the resistance measures more than 2 ohms, replace the fuel pump relay.
