Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit/System Description
The fuel pump control module constantly monitors the fuel pump control system for any condition which may adversely affect vehicle emissions. If a condition is detected, the fuel pump control module sets a DTC and sends a serial data message to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM sets DTC P069E to inform the technician that the fuel pump control module has set the emission related DTC. The serial data message sent by the fuel pump control module also contains a request for the ECM to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
The technician can observe the DTC that was set by the fuel pump control module by reviewing the ECM Freeze Frame records on the scan tool. The ECM Freeze Frame records also contain the engine operating conditions present when the fuel pump control module DTC set.
