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
- CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
).
HINT:
If there is fuel pressure, you will hear the sound of fuel flowing.
OK: Go to step 10
NG: GO TO NEXT STEP
- Check the fuel pressure (see
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
).
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER OR TECHSTREAM (OPERATE CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY (C/OPN))
- Connect the Intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester ON.
- Enter the following menus:
- Intelligent tester - Select: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / FUEL PUMP / SPD.
- Techstream - Select: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the Fuel Pump Speed Control.
- Check whether operating sounds can be heard while operating the relay using the tester.
OK: Operating sounds can be heard from relay.
OK: Go to step 5
NG: GO TO NEXT STEP

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: GO TO NEXT STEP
- Check the harness and connector between the fuel pump and F/PMP relay.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY (C/OPN) - FUEL PUMP RELAY (F/PMP))
- Remove the C/OPN relay and F/PMP relay from the engine room No. 2 relay block.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open)

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.
