Circuit/System Testing
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Remove the fuel pump relay and turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- Probe the control circuit of the fuel pump relay with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.
- Command the fuel pump ON and OFF with a scan tool.
- If the test lamp remains illuminated, test the fuel pump relay control circuit for a short to voltage or a faulty ECM.
- If the test lamp does not turn ON and OFF with each command, test the fuel pump relay control circuit for a short to ground, an open, or a faulty ECM.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the fuel pump relay and the ground circuit of the relay.
- Command the fuel pump ON and OFF with a scan tool.
- If the test lamp does not turn ON and OFF with each command, test the fuel pump relay ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
- If the test lamp turns ON and OFF with each command, replace the fuel pump relay.
