DTC P0231: Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit Low

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2006 Mercury Mountaineer, 2006 Mercury Monterey, 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Mercury Mariner, and 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0231 - FUEL PUMP SECONDARY CIRCUIT LOW

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the fuel pump monitor (FPM) circuit. The test fails if the PCM commands the fuel pump ON and B+ voltage is not detected on the FPM circuit.
Possible Causes: 
  • Open B+ circuit to the fuel pump relay
  • Open FP PWR circuit between the fuel pump relay and its connection to the FPM circuit
  • Damaged fuel pump relay
Diagnostic Aids:  During the key on engine off (KOEO) self-test, the PCM commands the fuel pump ON so this test can be carried out.
Application  Key On Engine Off  Key On Engine Running  Continuous Memory
