Fuel Pump Circuit Troubleshooting

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

If you suspect a problem with the fuel pump, check that the fuel pump actually runs; when it is on, you will hear some noise if you listen to the fuel fill port. The fuel pump should run for 2 seconds when the vehicle is turned to ON mode. If the fuel pump does not make noise, check as follows:

  1. Determine possible failure area (FI_MAIN_RLY_OUT line, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Remove PGM-FI main relay 2 .

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      PGM-FI main relay 2: disconnected
    Test point 1 PGM-FI main relay 2 4P socket (female terminals) No. 3:
    Test point 2 Body ground
