Test NS-3A - Checking Fuel Pump
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Plymouth Laser and 1994 Eagle Talon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For appropriate wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS .
- On turbo vehicle, go to step 6). On non-turbo vehicle, turn ignition off. Connect jumper wire between battery positive terminal and single-wire fuel pump check connector Black/White wire, located near battery in engine compartment. Listen for fuel pump operating sound at fuel filler pipe.
- If fuel pump operating sound cannot be heard, go to step 4). If fuel pump operating sound can be heard, remove jumper wire from fuel pump check connector. Disconnect Multi-Point Injection (MPI) control relay connector. MPI control relay is located on right side of center console, next to Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
- Measure resistance between single-wire fuel pump check connector Black/White wire and MPI control relay harness connector terminal No. 2 (Black/Green wire). If resistance is more than 10 ohms, repair open circuit in Black/Green wire or Black/White wire. Perform TEST VER-1 . If resistance is less than 10 ohms, replace MPI control relay. Perform TEST VER-1.
- Disconnect fuel pump 2-pin connector at fuel tank. Measure voltage at fuel pump 2-pin connector terminal No. 2 (Black/White wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Black/White wire between fuel pump check connector and fuel pump 2-pin connector. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If voltage is more than 10 volts, turn ignition off. Measure resistance between fuel pump 2-pin connector terminal No. 1 (Black wire) and ground. If resistance is more than 10 ohms, repair Black wire for open circuit to ground. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is less than 10 ohms, replace fuel pump. Perform TEST VER-1.
- Turn ignition off. Connect jumper wire between battery positive terminal and single-wire fuel pump check connector Black/White wire, located near battery in engine compartment. Listen for fuel pump operating sound at fuel filler pipe.
- If fuel pump operating sound cannot be heard, go to step 9). If fuel pump operating sound can be heard, remove jumper wire from fuel pump check connector. Disconnect Multi-Point Injection (MPI) control relay connector. MPI control relay is located on right side of center console, next to Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
- Measure resistance between fuel pump connector terminal No. 1 (Black/White wire) and MPI control relay harness connector terminal No. 2 (Black/Green wire). If resistance is more than 10 ohms, repair open circuit in Black/Green wire or Black/White wire. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is less than 10 ohms, replace MPI control relay. Perform TEST VER-1.
- Disconnect fuel pump 4-pin connector at fuel tank. Using DRB, activate fuel pump. Measure voltage at fuel pump 4-pin connector terminal No. 1 (Black/White wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Black/White wire or Black/Green wire between fuel pump 4-pin connector and MPI control relay connector. Perform TEST VER-1 .
- If voltage is more than 10 volts, turn ignition off. Measure resistance between fuel pump 4-pin connector terminal No. 3 (Black wire) and ground. If resistance is more than 10 ohms, repair Black wire for open circuit to ground. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is less than 10 ohms, replace fuel pump. Perform TEST VER-1.
