Fuel Pump Control System (Frontier & Xterra)

  1. Turn ignition on. Pinch fuel hose with fingers. Pulsation should be felt on fuel hose for 5 seconds after ignition is turned on. If pulsation is felt, system is okay. If pulsation is not felt, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect fuel pump relay harness connector. Fuel pump relay is located behind left side of instrument panel, above parking brake lever. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and fuel pump relay harness connector terminals No. 2 and 5 (Black/White wires). See Figure. If battery voltage exists at both terminals, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist at both terminals, repair open or short circuit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect fuel pump harness connector located on top of fuel tank. Check continuity between ground and Black wire at fuel pump harness connector terminal No. 2 (except Frontier 2.4L) or terminal No. 6 (on Frontier 2.4L). On Frontier 2.4L, see Figure. On all models, continuity should exist. Also, check circuit for short to voltage. Repair circuit as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
  4. Check continuity of White/Blue wire between fuel pump harness connector terminal No. 1 (except Frontier 2.4L) or terminal No. 5 (on Frontier 2.4L) and fuel pump relay harness connector terminal No. 3. Also, check circuit for short to ground and short to voltage. Repair circuit as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
  5. Disconnect ECM harness connector. See Figure. Check continuity of White/Red wire between ECM harness connector terminal No. 11 and fuel pump relay harness connector terminal No. 1. See Figure. Also, check circuit for short to ground and short to voltage. Repair circuit as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
  6. Check fuel pump relay. See RELAYS & SOLENOIDS . Replace, if necessary. If fuel pump relay is okay, go to next step.
  7. Check fuel pump. See FUEL PUMP . Replace, if necessary. If fuel pump is okay, go to next step.
  8. No problem is indicated at this time. Problem may be intermittent. See INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article,
