The test also fails when the FP output is commanded OFF and voltage is not detected on the FP circuit. The PCM.
Possible Causes: 
  • Fuel pump relay
  • Circuitry
Diagnostic Aids:  An open circuit or short to ground can only be detected with the fuel pump commanded OFF. A short to voltage can only be detected with the fuel pump commanded ON.
