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: 
  • Inertia switch
  • Fuel pump relay
  • Open or short circuit
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.
