Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Pinch fuel feed hose with two fingers.
  Fuel pressure pulsation should be felt on the fuel feed hose for 1 second after ignition switch is turned ON .
OK or NG

OK: INSPECTION END

NG: GO TO 2.
CHECK FUEL PUMP POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Check voltage between ECM terminal 113 and ground with CONSULT-III or tester.
  Voltage: Battery voltage
OK or NG

OK: GO TO 5.

NG: GO TO 3.
CHECK FUEL PUMP POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I
Check voltage between IPDM E/R terminal 40 and ground with CONSULT-III or tester.

Voltage: Battery voltage
