DTC P1233: - Fuel Pump Driver Module Disabled Or Off Line

2009 Ford Fusion SEL, 3.0 1, FWDSECTION DTC P1233: - Fuel Pump Driver Module Disabled Or Off Line
DTC P1233: - FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE DISABLED OR OFF LINE

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the fuel pump monitor (FPM) circuit from the fuel pump driver module (FPDM). With the ignition ON, engine OFF or ignition ON, engine running the FPDM continuously sends a duty cycle signal to the PCM through the FPM circuit. The test fails if the PCM stops receiving the duty cycle signal.
Possible Causes: 
  • Inertia fuel shutoff (IFS) switch needs to be reset
  • Open FPDM ground circuit
  • Open circuit to FPDM PWR RLY
  • Open FPDM PWR circuit
  • Open or short FPM circuit (engine should start)
  • Damaged IFS switch
  • Damaged FPDM PWR RLY
  • Damaged FPDM
Diagnostic Aids:  The PCM expects to see one of the following duty cycle signals from the FPDM on the FPM circuit: 1) 50% (500 ms on, 500 ms off), all OK. 2) 25% (250 ms on, 750 ms off), FPDM did not receive a fuel pump (FP) duty cycle command from the PCM, or the duty cycle that was received was invalid. 3) 75% (750 ms on, 250 off), the FPDM detected a concern in the circuits between the FPDM and the fuel pump.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
