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.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle system OFF, disconnect the KR23A Fuel Pump Relay, ignition ON. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the 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 fuel tank fuel pump module.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the 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 fuel pump control circuit terminal D and the ground circuit terminal A at the fuel tank fuel pump module harness connector.
- Install the KR23A Fuel Pump Relay, ignition ON.
- Verify the test lamp illuminates when commanding the Fuel Pump Relay ON with a scan tool.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate
- Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the KR23A Fuel Pump Relay.
- Test for infinite resistance between the pump 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 pump control circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, test or replace the KR23A Fuel Pump Relay.
- Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates
- Test or replace the G12 Fuel Pump.
