Diagnostic Procedure

  1. 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 5 seconds after ignition switch is turned ON.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: INSPECTION END 
    2. NG: GO TO 2.
  2. CHECK POWER SUPPLY 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect fuel pump relay.

      Voltage : Battery voltage 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  4.
    2. NG: GO TO 3.
  3. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Fuse block (J/B) connector M31
    • 15A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between fuse and fuel pump relay

      Repair harness or connectors.

  4. CHECK POWER GROUND CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect "fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump" harness connector.

      NOTE: For fuel pump harness connector terminal identification, refer to Fig 8
    3. Check harness continuity between fuel pump terminal 6 and body ground, fuel pump terminal 5 and fuel pump relay terminal 3.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      Continuity should exist. 

    4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  6.
    2. NG: GO TO 5.
  5. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors C1, M67
    • Harness for open or short between fuel pump and body ground
    • Harness for open or short between fuel pump and fuel pump relay

      Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  6. CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT 
    1. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    2. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 11 and fuel pump relay terminal 1.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      Continuity should exist. 

    3. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  8.
    2. NG: GO TO 7.
  7. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors F36, M81
    • Harness for open or short between ECM and fuel pump relay

      Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  8. CHECK FUEL PUMP RELAY 

    With CONSULT-II 

    1. Reconnect fuel pump relay, "fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump" harness connector and ECM harness connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Turn fuel pump relay "ON" and "OFF" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-II and check operating sound.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 9.
    2. NG: Replace fuel pump relay.
  9. CHECK FUEL PUMP 
    1. Disconnect "fuel level sensor and fuel pump" harness connector.

    2. Check resistance between terminals 5 and 6.

      Resistance : 0.2 - 5.0Ω [at 25°C (77°F)] 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 10.
    2. NG: Replace fuel pump.
  10. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Perform , "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".
