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 BY TECHSTREAM (OPERATE C/OPN RELAY)
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn Techstream ON.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Fuel Pump / Speed.
- Check the operation of the relay while operating it using the Techstream.
OK: Operating noise can be heard from the relay.
OK: Go to step 6
NG: Go to next step
- INSPECT ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT COMPONENTS
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT FUSE (IGCT NO. 3 FUSE)
- Remove the IGCT No. 3 fuse from the R/B No. 3.
- Measure the resistance in the IGCT No. 3 fuse.
Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω
NG: CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESS AND COMPONENTS CONNECTED TO FUSE
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT C/OPN RELAY
- Remove the C/OPN relay from the engine room R/B.
- Measure the C/OPN relay resistance.
Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition 3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 5 Below 1 Ω (Apply battery voltage between terminals 1 and 2)
NG: REPLACE C/OPN RELAY
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT HV CONTROL ECU (FC VOLTAGE)
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Measure the voltage between the terminals of the H34 and H31 HV control ECU connectors.
Standard voltage
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition FC (H34-8) - E1 (H31-5) 9 to 14 V
OK: REPLACE HV CONTROL ECU
NG: CHECK AND REPAIR HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HV CONTROL ECU - CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY)
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP
- Inspect fuel pump resistance.
- Measure the resistance between terminals 4 and 5.
Standard resistance: 0.2 to 3.0 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
- Measure the resistance between terminals 4 and 5.
- Inspect fuel pump operation.
- Apply battery voltage to both the terminals. Check that the pump operates.
NG: REPLACE FUEL PUMP
OK: Go to next step
- Inspect fuel pump resistance.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FUEL PUMP - C/OPN RELAY)
- Check the harness and the connectors between the fuel pump and the C/OPN relay.
- Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
- Remove the C/OPN relay from the engine room R/ B.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition Fuel pump (F16-4) - C/OPN relay (3) Below 1 Ω Standard resistance (Check for short)
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition Fuel pump (F16-4) or C/OPN (3) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
- Check the harness and the connectors between the fuel pump and the body ground.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE C/OPN RELAY
- Check the harness and the connectors between the fuel pump and the C/OPN relay.

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.
