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
HINT:
This troubleshooting procedure is based on the premise that the engine is started. If the engine is not started, proceed to the problem symptoms table (see PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE ).
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY TECHSTREAM (OPERATE C/OPN RELAY)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Fuel Pump / Speed.
- Check the relay operation while operating it using the tester.
OK:
Operating noise can be heard from the relay.
OK: Go to step 6
NG: Go to next step
- INSPECT FUSE (IGN)
- Remove the IGN fuse from the engine room No. 1 relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuse.
Standard resistance:
Below 1 Ω
NG: REPLACE FUSE
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY (Marking: CIR OPN)
- Remove the circuit opening relay from the engine room No. 2 relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.
Standard resistance:
Below 1 Ω.
NG: REPLACE CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT IG2 RELAY (Marking: IG2)
- Remove the IG2 relay from the engine room No. 1 relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.
Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition 3-5 10 kΩ or higher 3-5 Below 1 Ω (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2) NG: REPLACE IG2 RELAY
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK ECM (FC VOLTAGE)
- Turn the ignition switch ON.
- Measure the voltage of the ECM connector.
Standard voltage
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition E6-14 (FC) - Body ground 9 to 14 V NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE ECM
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP RELAY (Marking: F/PMP)
- Remove the fuel pump relay from the engine room No. 2 relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.
Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition 3-4 Below 1 Ω 3-4 10 kΩ or higher (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2) NG: REPLACE FUEL PUMP RELAY
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP
- Check the resistance of the fuel pump.
- Measure the resistance between terminals 4 and 5.
Standard resistance:
0.2 to 3.0 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
- Check the operation of the fuel pump.
- Apply battery voltage to both the 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.
- 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.
