P1235 - Fuel Pump Control Out Of Range

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2007 Mercury Mountaineer, 2007 Mercury Monterey, 2007 Mercury Montego, 2007 Mercury Milan, and 2007 Mercury Mariner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P1235 - FUEL PUMP CONTROL OUT OF RANGE

Description:  This DTC indicates the fuel pump driver module (FPDM) detected an invalid or missing fuel pump (FP) duty cycle signal on the fuel pump control (FPC) circuit from the powertrain control module (PCM). The FPDM sends a message to the PCM through the fuel pump monitor (FPM) circuit, indicating this concern was detected. The PCM sets the DTC when the message is received.
Possible Causes: 
  • FPC circuit open or short
  • Electronic throttle control (ETC) system concern. Check for ETC DTCs
  • Damaged FPDM
  • Damaged PCM
Diagnostic Aids:  The FPDM sends a 25% duty cycle (250 ms on, 750 ms off) through the FPM circuit to the PCM while the concern is being detected by the FPDM. If the concern is no longer detected, the FPDM returns to sending an all OK (50% duty cycle) message to the PCM.
For ETC applications, check if ETC DTC P2105 is present. An ETC system concern could cause DTC P1235, and should be diagnosed first.
