  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the fuel tank pump module.
  3. Ignition ON, test for less than 5.0 Ξ© between the fuel pump module low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the fuel pump module low reference circuit for a high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the fuel pump control module.
  4. Ignition OFF, install a test lamp between the control circuit terminal D and the control circuit terminal A.
  5. Ignition ON, command the fuel pump ON and OFF using a scan tool ECM fuel pump output control. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the fuel pump control module.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the fuel pump control module.
