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.
Inspection Procedure
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST (OPERATE F/PMP RELAY)
- Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and push the hand-held tester main switch ON.
- Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / FUEL PUMP/SPD.
- Check the relay operation while operating it with the hand-held tester.
Standard: Operating noise can be heard from relay.
- OK: Go to step 6 .
- NG: Go to next step.
- INSPECT FUSE (IGN)
- Remove the IGN fuse from the engine room No. 2 R/B.
- Measure the resistance of the fuse.
Standard: Below 1 Ω
- NG: REPLACE FUSE
- OK: Go to next step.
- INSPECT RELAY (Marking: CIR OPN)
- Remove the CIR OPN relay from the engine room No. 2 R/B.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.
Standard:
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONSTester Connection Specified Condition 3 - 5 10 k ohms or higher 3 - 5 Below 1 ohms (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)
- NG: REPLACE RELAY
- OK: Go to next step.
- INSPECT RELAY (Marking: IG2)
- Remove the IG2 relay from the engine room No. 1 R/B.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.
Standard:
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONSTester Connection Specified Condition 3 - 5 10 k ohms or higher 3 - 5 Below 1 ohms (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)
- NG: REPLACE RELAY
- OK: Go to next step.
- CHECK ECM (FC VOLTAGE)
- Turn the ignition switch ON.
- Measure the voltage of the E6 ECM connector.
Standard:
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONSTester Connection Specified Condition E6-14 (FC) - Body ground 9 to 14 V
- NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
- OK: REPLACE ECM (See REPLACEMENT
- INSPECT RELAY (Marking: F/PMP)
- Remove the F/PMP relay from the engine room No. 2 R/B.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.
Standard:
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONSTester Connection Specified Condition 2 - 4 Below 1 ohms 2 - 4 10 k ohms or more (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 3)
- NG: REPLACE RELAY
- OK: Go to next step.
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP ASSY
- Check the resistance of the fuel pump.
- Measure the resistance between terminals 4 and 5.
Standard: 0.2 to 3.0 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
- Measure the resistance between terminals 4 and 5.
- Check the operation of the fuel pump.
- Apply battery voltage to both the terminals. Check that the pump operates.NOTE:
- These tests must be performed quickly (within 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out.
- Keep fuel pump as far away from the battery as possible.
- Apply battery voltage to both the terminals. Check that the pump operates.
- Check the resistance of 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.
