DTC P0230: Fuel Pump Primary Circuit: Procedure

  1. CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION 
    1. Check if there is pressure in the fuel inlet hose.

      HINT: 

      If there is fuel pressure, you will hear the sound of fuel flowing.

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK ECM (FRP VOLTAGE) 
    1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A5-6 (FPR) - E6-1 (E1) STA signal ON (Cranking) 11 to 14 V
      A5-6 (FPR) - E6-1 (E1) STA signal OFF (Engine switch on (IG)) 0 to 3 V

    NG → See step   3 

    OK → See step   5 

  3. INSPECT F/PMP RELAY 
    1. Remove the F/PMP relay from the engine room No. 2 relay block.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      3 - 4 When no battery applied to terminals 1 and 2 Below 1 Ω
      3 - 4 When battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2 10 kΩ or more
    3. Reinstall the F/PMP relay.

    NG → REPLACE F/PMP RELAY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (F/PMP RELAY - ECM) 
    1. Remove the F/PMP relay from the engine room No. 2 relay block.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F/PMP relay (2) - A5-6 (FPR) Always Below 1 Ω

      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F/PMP relay (2) or A5-6 (FPR) - Body Ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
    4. Reinstall the F/PMP relay.
    5. Reconnect the ECM connector.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (F/PMP RELAY - ECM) 

    OK → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (F/PMP RELAY - C/OPN RELAY) 

  5. REPLACE ECM. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  6. GO TO FUEL PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT. Refer to  Fuel Pump Control Circuit
