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
- Check if there is pressure in the fuel inlet hose.
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 if there is pressure in the fuel inlet hose.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER (OPERATE CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY)
- Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the intelligent tester ON.
- Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / FUEL PUMP / SPD.
- Check the relay operation when it is operated by the intelligent tester.
Standard:
Operating sound can be heard from the relay.
OK: Go to step 5
NG: Go to next step
- INSPECT CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY (Marking: C/OPN)
- Remove the circuit opening relay from the engine room relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the circuit opening relay.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition 3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 5 Below 1 Ω. (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2) - Reinstall the circuit opening relay.
NG: REPLACE CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT ECM (FC VOLTAGE)
- Turn the ignition switch ON.
- Measure the voltage of the E6 and E10 ECM connectors.
Standard voltage
VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition E10-10 (FC) - E6-1 (E1) 9 to 14 V
OK: REPLACE ECM
NG: CHECK AND REPAIR HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (ECM - CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY, CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY - IGNITION SWITCH)
- CHECK ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT
- Check ECM Power Source Circuit (see ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT ).
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP RELAY (Marking: F/PUMP)
- Remove the fuel pump relay from the engine room relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuel pump relay.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition 3 - 4 Below 1 Ω 3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 4 10 kΩ or higher (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2) 3 - 5 Below 1 Ω (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2) - Reinstall the fuel pump relay.
NG: REPLACE FUEL PUMP RELAY
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP
- Inspect fuel pump resistance.
- Inspect fuel pump operation.
- Apply battery voltage to F13-4 (+) and F13-5 (-) terminals. Check that the pump operates.NOTE:
- These tests must be done quickly (within 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out.
- Keep fuel pump as far away from the battery as possible.
- Always do the switching at the battery side.
- Apply battery voltage to F13-4 (+) and F13-5 (-) terminals. Check that the pump operates.
NG: REPLACE FUEL PUMP
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FUEL PUMP - FUEL PUMP RELAY, FUEL PUMP BODY GROUND)
- Check harness and connector (see ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY - FUEL PUMP RELAY)
- Check harness and connector (see ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: CHECK AND REPAIR HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (EFI RELAY - CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY)
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP RELAY (Marking: F/PUMP)
- Remove the fuel pump relay from the engine room relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuel pump relay.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition 3 - 4 Below 1 Ω 3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 4 10 kΩ or higher (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2) 3 - 5 Below 1 Ω (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2) - Reinstall the fuel pump relay.
NG: REPLACE FUEL PUMP RELAY
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP RESISTOR (RESISTANCE)
- Inspect the fuel pump resistor resistance.
- Measure the resistance of the terminals.
Resistance:
0.94 to 1.0 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
- Measure the resistance of the terminals.
NG: REPLACE FUEL PUMP RESISTOR

OK: Go to next step
- Inspect the fuel pump resistor resistance.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FUEL PUMP RELAY - FUEL PUMP RESISTOR, FUEL PUMP RESISTOR - FUEL PUMP)
- Check harness and connector (see ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).
OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

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.
