Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the fuel pump relay.
- Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the fuel pump relay control circuit and the ground circuit. Command the fuel pump relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the engine control module (ECM).
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Inspect the fuel pump fuse.
- If the fuel pump fuse is open, test for the following conditions:
- A short to ground in the relay switch B+ circuit
- A short to ground in the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump
- If the above circuits test normal, replace the primary fuel tank module.
- Verify that a test light illuminates between the B+ circuit and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a 15A fused jumper wire between the B+ circuit and the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump. Verify the fuel pump is activated.
- If the fuel pump does not activate, test for the following conditions:
- An open/high resistance in the supply voltage circuit of the fuel pump
- An open/high resistance in the ground circuit of the fuel pump
- If the above circuits test normal, replace the primary fuel tank module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the fuel pump relay.
