Fuel Pump Inspection
- Check Fuel Pump For Operation -Β Verify battery is fully charged. Verify fuel tank 4-pin harness connector is securely connected. With KOEO, connect scan tool to DLC. Select ACTIVE COMMAND MODE. Select OUTPUT TEST MODE. Press MODE to change to ALL ON mode. Press START to run fuel pump. Listen to fuel pump to verify fuel pump operation. Turn ignition off. If fuel pump operates, see FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEMΒ testing under SYSTEM TESTS. If fuel pump does not operate, go to next step.
- Check Fuel Pump For Continuity -Β Disconnect fuel tank assembly 4-pin harness connector. Using a DVOM, check for continuity between fuel tank unit power circuit (Pink/Black wire) and ground (Black wire) circuit. If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, replace faulty fuel pump.
- Check Voltage At Fuel Pump Vehicle Harness Connected -Β Connect scan tool to DLC. With KOEO, select ACTIVE COMMAND MODE. Select OUTPUT TEST MODE. Press MODE to change to ALL ON mode. Press START to run fuel pump. Measure voltage at fuel tank assembly 4-pin harness connector (Pink/Black wire). If voltage reading is more than 10.5 volts, go to next step. If voltage reading is 10.5 volts or less, check fuel pump relay and Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch. Repair as necessary.
- Check Fuel Pump Ground Circuit -Β Disconnect fuel tank assembly 4-pin harness connector. Measure resistance between fuel pump ground circuit (Black wire) and chassis ground of fuel tank assembly 4-pin harness connector. If resistance reading is less than one ohm, ground circuit is okay. Recheck fuel pump. If resistance reading is one ohm or more, repair open circuit in Black wire between fuel tank assembly 4-pin harness connector and chassis ground.
