DTC P0230: Fuel Pump Control Relay Circuit: Description
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the control module enables the fuel pump relay, which supplies current to the fuel pump. The fuel pump remains enabled as long as the engine is cranking or running and the control module receives ignition reference pulses. If there are no ignition reference pulses, the control module shuts the fuel pump OFF approximately 2 seconds after the ignition was switched to the ON position or if the engine stops. The control module monitors the voltage on the fuel pump relay control circuit. If the control module detects an incorrect voltage on the fuel pump relay control circuit, a fuel pump relay control DTC sets.
