DTC P027B: Fuel Pump Module Control Circuit Range/Performance

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Mercury Mariner, 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis, 2011 Lincoln Town Car, and 2011 Lincoln Navigator L. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P027B - FUEL PUMP MODULE CONTROL CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE

Description:  The fuel pump control module 2 monitors the duty cycle and frequency of the signal it receives from the powertrain control module (PCM). The fuel pump control module 2 determines if the signal from the PCM on the fuel pump command (FPC) circuit is a valid duty cycle and frequency. If the duty cycle or frequency is invalid, the fuel pump control module 2 sends a 20% duty cycle signal on the fuel pump monitor 2 (FPM2) circuit to report the concern to the PCM. The test fails when the fuel pump control module 2 is still reporting that it is receiving an invalid duty cycle or frequency from the PCM after a calibrated amount of time.
Possible Causes: 
  • FPC circuit open or short to ground
  • FPC circuit short to voltage
  • Radio frequency interference or electromagnetic interference
  • Damaged fuel pump control module 2
  • Damaged PCM
Diagnostic Aids:  Check the harness for routing, alterations, incorrect shielding, or electrical interference from other systems.
