P1237 - Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit

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.
P1237 - FUEL PUMP SECONDARY CIRCUIT

Description:  This DTC indicates that the fuel pump driver module (FPDM) detected a fuel pump secondary circuit concern. The FPDM sends a message to the powertrain control module (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: 
  • Open or short FP PWR circuit
  • Open FP RTN circuit to FPDM
  • Open or short circuit in the fuel pump
  • Locked fuel pump rotor
  • Damaged FPDM
Diagnostic Aids:  The FPDM sends a 75% duty cycle (750 ms on, 250 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 PCM returns to sending an all OK (50% duty cycle) message to the PCM. The FPDM controls pump speed by supplying a variable ground on the FP RTN circuit.
