Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation

Relay Center:

PURPOSE:
To relay power to the fuel pump.

OPERATION:
When the ignition key is first turned to the "ON" position, the ECM will energize the fuel pump relay for two seconds. This increases fuel pressure for cranking. If the engine is not running within two seconds, the ECM will shut "OFF" the relay and wait until the engine starts. As soon as the engine is cranked, the ECM will energize the relay and power the fuel pump.

NOTE: The fuel pump relay may be bypassed by the oil pressure switch activating the fuel pump.
