    5. Verify the fuse does not open.
      • If the fuse opens and there are components connected to the circuit - Disconnect a component and repeat procedure starting at step 5.4
      • If the fuse opens with all components disconnected from the circuit - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If the fuse does not open after disconnecting a component from the circuit - Replace the component disconnected last.
      • Go to next step: If the fuse does not open with all components connected.
      6. NOTE:

      It may be necessary to use a scan tool control function to operate a component.

    6. Operate the component: Each component on the circuit - One at a time

      Verify the fuse does not open when any of the components are activated.

      • If the fuse opens - Replace the component that caused the fuse to open when activated.
      • Go to next step: If the fuse does not open.
    7. All OK.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp turns On 
  6. Test for 4.8 to 11.7 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 4 & Ground
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K111 Fuel Pump Power Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 4 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    4. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 4 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K111 Fuel Pump Power Control Module
    • If greater than 11.7 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K111 Fuel Pump Power Control Module
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 4 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V - Replace the component: K111 Fuel Pump Power Control Module
    • Go to next step: If between 4.8 and 11.7 V 
  7. Test for greater than 0.00 V, but less than 1.3 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 2 & Ground

  9. Clear the DTCs.
  10. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

    Verify the DTC sets at the original component location.

    • If the DTC does not set at the original component location
