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
- 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
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) - 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 E7 and E9 ECM connectors.
Standard voltage
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition E9-10 (FC) - E7-1 (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
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester 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 F12-4 (+) and F12-5 (-) terminals. Check that the pump operates.

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.
