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, push Techstream or the OBD II scan tool main switch on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Fuel Pump / Speed.
- Check the relay operation while operating it using Techstream.
Standard:
Operating noise can be heard from the relay.
OK: Go to step 5
NG: Go to Next Step
- INSPECT C/OPN RELAY
- Remove the C/OPN relay from the engine room J/B.
- Measure the resistance of the C/OPN 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 RELAY
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK ECM (FC VOLTAGE)
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Measure the voltage of the ECM connectors.
Standard voltage
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition FC (E4-10) - E1 (E6-1) 9 to 14 V
OK: REPLACE ECM
NG: Go to Next Step
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS (ECM - C/OPN RELAY, C/OPN RELAY - IGNITION)
- Check the wire harness between the ECM and C/OPN relay.
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Remove the C/OPN relay from the engine room J/B.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFIED CONDITIONTerminal Connections Specified Condition FC (E4-10) - C/OPN relay (2) Below 1 Ω FC (E4-10) or C/OPN relay (2) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
- Check the wire harness between the C/OPN relay and ignition switch.
- Check the IG2 fuse.
- Remove the IG2 fuse from the engine room J/B.
- Check the resistance of the IG2 fuse.
Standard resistance:
Below 1 Ω
- Reinstall the IG2 fuse.
- Remove the C/OPN relay from the engine room J/B.
- Disconnect the ignition switch connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFIED CONDITIONTerminal Connections Specified Condition J/B C/OPN relay terminal 1 - I15-6 Below 1 Ω J/B C/OPN relay terminal 1 or I15-6 -Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
- Check the IG2 fuse.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE ECM
- Check the wire harness between the ECM and C/OPN relay.
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP
- Measure the resistance of the fuel pump.
- Check operation of the fuel pump.
- Apply battery voltage to both terminals. Check that the pump operates.NOTE:
- These tests must be done quickly (within 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out.
- Keep the fuel pump as far away from the battery as possible.
- Always turn ON and OFF the voltage on the battery side, not the fuel pump side.
- Apply battery voltage to both terminals. Check that the pump operates.
NG: REPLACE FUEL PUMP
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS (C/OPN RELAY - FUEL PUMP, FUEL PUMP - BODY GROUND)
- Check the wire harness between the C/OPN relay and fuel pump.
- Remove the C/OPN relay from the engine room J/B.
- Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Specified Condition C/OPN relay terminal 3 - F8-4 Below 1 Ω C/OPN relay terminal 3 or F8-4 - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

- Check the wire harness between the fuel pump and body ground.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: CHECK ECM
- Check the wire harness between the C/OPN relay and 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.
