Test NS-5A - Inspecting Fuel Pump
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Dodge Ram Wagon, 1995 Dodge Ram Van, 1995 Dodge Pickup, and 1995 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

- Using scan tool, stop actuation test. Using scan tool, actuate Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay. Touch fuel pump relay. If fuel pump relay does not pulsate when actuated, go to TEST NS-5B. If fuel pump relay pulsates when actuated, turn ignition off.
- Remove fuel pump relay. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on fuel pump relay connector, fused battery voltage circuit (Red wire on AB body; Red/White wire on BR body). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Red wire or Red/White wire. Perform TEST VER-1. If voltage is more than 10 volts, install a known good relay. Attempt to start engine. If engine starts, replace original relay. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If engine does not start, reinstall original fuel pump relay. Disconnect fuel pump harness connector. Ensure fuel pump connector has clean and tight connections. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, actuate fuel system. While still actuating, check voltage on fuel pump connector, fuel pump relay output circuit (Dark Green/Black wire) using scan tool in voltmeter mode. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Dark Green/Black wire or Orange/Black wire. Perform TEST VER-1. If voltage is more than 10 volts, stop actuation test.
- Turn ignition off. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of fuel pump connector, fuel pump ground circuit (Black wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black wire. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace fuel pump. Perform TEST VER-1.
