  1. Step 1) DTC P1233 Or P1234  Turn ignition off. Connect scan tester to Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition on. Using scan tester, access FPM PID. If FPM PID is 20-80 percent, go to step 25). If FPM PID is not 20-80 percent, go to next step.
  2. Step 2) If engine will start, go to step 15). If engine will not start, verify IFS switch is set and go to next step.
  3. Step 3) Turn ignition off. Disconnect FPDM wiring harness connector. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between connector terminals GND and POWER-TO-FPDM. If voltage is 10.5 volts or more, replace FPDM and repeat QUICK TEST . If voltage is less than 10.5 volts, go to step 7).
    NOTE: A break in step numbering sequence occurs at this point. Procedure skips from step 3) to step 7). No test procedures have been omitted.
  4. Step 7) Leave ignition on and FPDM disconnected. Measure voltage between chassis ground and connector terminal POWER-TO-FPDM. If voltage 10.5 volts or more, repair open circuit and repeat QUICK TEST . If voltage is less than 10.5 volts, go to next step.
  5. Step 8) Turn ignition off. Leave FPDM disconnected. Disconnect CCRM. Measure voltage between chassis ground and terminal No. 11 (B+) of CCRM connector. If voltage is 10.5 volts or more, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10.5 volts, check power supply fuse to CCRM. If fuse is blown, check for short to ground in B+ and POWER-TO-FPDM circuits. If power supply fuse to CCRM is okay, repair open circuit to CCRM and repeat QUICK TEST .
  6. Step 9) Turn ignition off. Leave FPDM and CCRM disconnected. Disconnect scan tester (if applicable). Measure resistance between negative battery terminal and terminal No. 18 (GND) of CCRM connector. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open circuit to CCRM and repeat QUICK TEST . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  7. Step 10) Check POWER-TO-FPDM Circuit Continuity  Leave ignition off. Leave FPDM and CCRM disconnected. Measure resistance between POWER-TO-FPDM terminal of FPDM connector and terminal No. 5 of CCRM connector. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, go to step 13). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, reconnect FPDM and go to next step.
  8. Step 11) Check VPWR Circuit Continuity  Leave ignition off. Leave CCRM disconnected. Disconnect EEC-V power relay. Measure resistance between VPWR terminal of EEC-V power relay connector and terminal No. 13 (VPWR) of CCRM connector. See Fig 2. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace CCRM and repeat QUICK TEST . If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in VPWR circuit between EEC-V power relay and CCRM.

If each resistance measurement is 10,000 ohms or more, go to next step. If any resistance measurement is less than 10,000 ohms, repair circuit short to ground and repeat QUICK TEST .
  19. Step 34) Check FP Circuit In PCM  Reconnect FPDM. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between test pin No. 51 (PWR GND) and 80 at breakout box. If voltage is 4.5-5.5 volts, replace PCM and repeat QUICK TEST. If voltage is not 4.5-5.5 volts, replace FPDM and repeat QUICK TEST .
    NOTE: A break in step numbering sequence occurs at this point. Procedure skips from step 34) to step 40). No test procedures have been omitted.
  20. Step 40) Check For Intermittent Short Or Open Circuit  Scan tester should be connected to DLC and in FPM PID. Observe FPM PID for indication of fault while lightly tapping on CCRM, FPDM and IFS switch. Fault will be indicated if fuel pump is turned on. Also, FPM PID will be 20-30 percent range.

If resistance is less than 10,000 ohms, repair circuit short to ground and repeat QUICK TEST .
  26. Step 52) Check For Power To Fuel Pump  Leave ignition off and fuel pump disconnected. Reconnect FPDM and scan tester. Turn ignition on for about 2 seconds (to operate fuel pump) while measuring voltage between fuel pump terminals at connector. Turn ignition off. If voltage is 10 volts or more when fuel pump is operating, replace fuel pump and repeat QUICK TEST. If voltage is less than 10 volts when fuel pump is operating, verify battery is full charged. If battery is okay, replace FPDM and repeat QUICK TEST .
    NOTE: A break in step numbering sequence occurs at this point. Procedure skips from step 52) to step 54). No test procedures have been omitted.
  27. Step 54) Isolate Open Circuit  Turn ignition off. Disconnect FPDM. Measure resistance of POWER-TO-PUMP circuit between fuel pump and FPDM connector. Measure resistance of FUEL PUMP GROUND circuit between fuel pump and FPDM connector. Measure internal resistance of fuel pump. If each resistance measurement is less than 10 ohms, no faults are present. Verify results of previous steps. If any resistance measurement 10 ohms or more, repair open circuit or replace fuel pump. Repeat QUICK TEST .

  28. Step 57) Check Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit  Leave ignition on. Using scan tester, access Output Test Mode. Command outputs on (to activate fuel pump). Listen for fuel pump to activate. Listen to fuel pump for indication of fault while lightly tapping on fuel pump and FPDM. Fault will be indicated if fuel pump shuts off. Wiggle and bend POWER-TO-PUMP and FUEL PUMP GROUND circuit between fuel pump and FPDM. If any faults are found, isolate and repair as necessary. Repeat QUICK TEST .
