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.
Fuel Pump (FP) Shut-off Feature
In the event of a moderate to severe collision, the vehicle is equipped with a FP shut-off feature that is initiated by the event notification signal.
The event notification signal is a signal provided by the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to the FP control module. Signal communication between the RCM and the FP control module allows the PCM to initiate secondary fuel cut off to shut off the FP .
Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, the vehicle may be restarted by resetting the Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch located behind LH rear quarter trim panel access cover.
