Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Suburban 3500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
- If the fuel level is not between 25 - 50 percent, add 19 L (5 gal) in order to perform this diagnostic procedure. If the fuel level is not within this range, misdiagnosis may occur.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the KR23B Fuel Pump Relay - Secondary, ignition ON. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the secondary fuel pump relay ignition circuit terminal 30 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the fuse is good
- Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the ignition circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the fuse is open
- Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp.
- Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance, test all the components connected to fuse and replace as necessary.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the secondary fuel tank fuel pump module.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the secondary fuel pump ground circuit terminal A and ground.
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω
- Connect a test lamp between the secondary fuel pump control circuit terminal D and the ground circuit terminal A at the secondary fuel tank fuel pump module harness connector.
- Install the KR23B Fuel Pump Relay - Secondary, ignition ON.
- Verify the test lamp illuminates when commanding the Fuel Pump Relay 2 ON with a scan tool.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate
- Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the KR23B Fuel Pump Relay - Secondary.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the KR23B Fuel Pump Relay - Secondary.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates
- Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp.
- Inspect the fuel lines and the secondary fuel tank fuel pump module for a restriction.
- If a restriction is present
Repair as necessary.
- If a restriction is not present
- If a restriction is present
- Replace the secondary fuel pump.
