Fuel System Shutoff Feature

In the event of a moderate to severe collision, the vehicle is equipped with a Fuel Pump (FP) shut-off feature that is initiated by the event notification signal.

The event notification signal is a signal provided by the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). The FPCM  will then shut-off power to the FP  module. The RCM  will also send a fuel shut-off signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM  will then send a signal to the FPCM  to shut-off the FP  module.

Should the vehicle shut-off after a collision due to this feature, the vehicle may be restarted by first turning the ignition switch to the OFF position and then turn the ignition switch to the ON position. In some instances the vehicle may not start the first time and may take one additional key cycle.
