  17. Check Internal Resistance Of Fuel Pump

    Measure internal resistance of fuel pump between fuel tank unit connector FP PWR terminal No. 1 and ground terminal No. 3. If resistance reading is less than 10 ohms, all fuel pump circuits are okay. Verify test step results. If all test steps are okay, reconnect all disconnected connectors. Disregard DTC P0232 at this time. Go to step  24. If resistance reading is not as specified, replace fuel pump. After repair, go to step  24.

  18. Check Engine Start

    If KOEO DTC P0230 is also present and has not been diagnosed, go to step  21 (to check primary fuel pump circuits first). If engine starts, go to step  12. If engine does not start, go to next step.

  19. Check B+ Voltage To Fuel Pump Relay

    Disconnect fuel pump relay located in battery junction box. Measure B+ circuit voltage at fuel pump relay 5-pin connector terminal No. 3 (Orange wire). See Fig 1. If voltage reading is more than 10.5 volts, go to next step. If voltage reading is not as specified, check for burned No. 6 fuse (20-amp) in battery junction box. If fuse is okay, repair open circuit between positive battery terminal and fuel pump relay 5-pin connector terminal No. 3 (Orange wire). See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If fuse/fuse link is burned, check B+ and FP PWR circuits for short to ground before replacing. After repair, go to step  24.

  20. Check For Open FP PWR Circuit Between Fuel Pump Relay & Ground Point 2

After repair, go to step  24. If resistance reading is not as specified, repair open circuit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. After repair, go to step  24.
    NOTE: During following step, FPF PID will read YES when an open is detected because PCM will not detect VPWR voltage on PCM terminal No. 54 (2.0L) or terminal No. 80 (3.0L).

  21. Continuous Memory DTC P0230: Check Fuel Pump Primary Circuits

    With scan tool connected. Turn ignition on, engine off. Wait 5 seconds. Access FPF PID. FPF PID will be NO, indicating that PCM detects VPWR voltage through fuel pump relay coil and FP circuit to PCM. Observe FPF PID for an indication of a fault while performing following:
    • Shake, wiggle, bend Fuel Pump (FP) circuit between the PCM and fuel pump relay.
    • Shake, wiggle, bend VPWR circuit between PCM power relay and fuel pump relay.
    • Lightly tap fuel pump relay to simulate road shock.
    • Inspect PCM and fuel pump relay connectors for corrosion or damaged pins.

    If a fault is indicated, isolate fault and repair as necessary. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. After repair, go to step  24. If fault is not indicated, problem is intermittent. Refer to INTERMITTENT  testing under SYSTEM TESTS .

  22. Continuous Memory DTC P0231: Check Harness Circuits

Turn ignition on, engine off. Fuel pump will turn on and voltage will be more than 10.0 volts. Observe voltage for an indication of a fault while performing following:
    • Shake, wiggle, bend B+ circuit to fuel pump relay.
    • Lightly tap fuel pump relay to simulate road shock.
    • Shake, wiggle bend FP PWR circuit between fuel pump relay and FPM splice.

    Turn ignition off. Inspect fuel pump relay connector for corrosion, damaged pins, etc. If a fault is indicated, isolate fault and repair as necessary. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If a fault is not indicated, problem is intermittent. Refer to INTERMITTENT  testing under SYSTEM TESTS .

  23. Continuous Memory DTC P0232: Check Fuel Pump Secondary Circuits

    If Continuous Memory DTC P0230 is also present, go to step  21. Turn ignition on, engine off. Access FPM PID on Scan tool. Observe FPM PID for an indication of a fault while performing following (FPM PID will turn ON when an open or short to power is detected):
    • Shake, wiggle, bend FP PWR circuit (Dark Green/Yellow wire) between fuel pump relay FP PWR terminal No. 5 and fuel tank unit 3-pin harness connector terminal No. 2.
    • Shake, wiggle, bend fuel pump ground circuit from fuel tank unit to ground. Lightly tap fuel pump to simulate road shock.
    • Shake, wiggle, bend FPM circuit between PCM and the splice to FP PWR circuit.
    • Lightly tap Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch to simulate road shock.
    • Lightly tap fuel pump relay to simulate road shock.

    If fault is indicated/found, isolate fault and repair as necessary. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. After repair, go to next step. If fault is not found, problem is intermittent. Refer to INTERMITTENT  testing under SYSTEM TESTS .

  24. Verify Trouble Shooting Of DTCs Completed

    Reconnect all disconnected connectors. Clear DTCs from PCM memory using scan tool. Perform QUICK TEST  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If same DTC is present, replace faulty PCM. Repeat QUICK TEST  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If same DTC is not present, go to applicable procedure for other DTCs. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If no DTCs are set, procedure is complete.
