DTC P1235: High Pressure Fuel Pump Circuit [06/2016 - ]: Procedure
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY (FOR HIGH PRESSURE)
- Inspect the fuel pump assembly (for high pressure) (Refer to INSPECTION [06/2016 - ] ).
Result:
NG
REPLACE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY (FOR HIGH PRESSURE)
(Refer to REMOVAL [06/2016 - ] )
Result:
OK
See step 2
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (INJECTOR DRIVER (EDU) - FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the injector driver (EDU) connector.
- Disconnect the fuel pump assembly (for high pressure) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Check for open)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C2-3 (FP-) - C29-2 Always Below 1 Ω C2-4 (FP+) - C29-1 Always Below 1 Ω Standard Resistance (Check for short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C2-3 (FP-) or C29-2 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher C2-4 (FP+) or C29-1 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 3
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - INJECTOR DRIVER (EDU))
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Disconnect the injector driver (EDU) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Check for open)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A34-32 (FPD) - C1-8 (FPD) Always Below 1 Ω A34-13 (FPF) - C1-7 (FPF) Always Below 1 Ω Standard Resistance (Check for short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A34-32 (FPD) or C1-8 (FPD) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher A34-13 (FPF) or C1-7 (FPF) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 4
- INSPECT ECM (FPD VOLTAGE)
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Inspect the ECM using an oscilloscope.
- While idling the engine, check the waveform the terminals of the ECM connector.
ECM Terminal Name A34-32 (FPD) - Body ground Tester Range 2 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. Condition Idling TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component with harness connected
(ECM)*b FPD Terminal Waveform Normal Waveform Standard
Signal waveform appears as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
The FPD terminal waveform is output only right after the engine starts. If this DTC is stored when the engine is started from ignition switch off, the system enters fail-safe mode and the waveform is not output.
- While idling the engine, check the waveform the terminals of the ECM connector.
Result:
NG
See step 6
Result:
OK
See step 5
- INSPECT ECM (FPF VOLTAGE)
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Inspect the ECM using an oscilloscope.
- While idling the engine, check the waveform the terminals of the ECM connector.
ECM Terminal Name CH1: A34-32 (FPD) - Body ground
CH2: A34-13 (FPF) - Body groundTester Range 2 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. Condition Idling TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component with harness connected
(ECM)*b FPD Terminal and FPF Terminal Waveform Normal Waveform *c FPF Terminal Waveform NG Waveform 1 *d FPF Terminal Waveform NG Waveform 2 HINT:
*: If the FPF terminal waveform is similar to the FPF terminal waveform NG waveform 1, stop the engine and disconnect injector driver (EDU) connector. Then, while cranking the engine, check to see if there is a difference between the FPF terminal waveform and the previous one.
Result
FPD Terminal Waveform FPF Terminal Waveform Proceed to OK OK A OK NG waveform 1* Does not change from NG waveform 1 (FPF terminal waveform remains at GND even after disconnecting the injector driver (EDU) connector and cranking the engine) A Changes to NG waveform 2 (FPF terminal waveform rises from GND after disconnecting the injector driver (EDU) connector and cranking the engine) B OK NG waveform 2 B - While idling the engine, check the waveform the terminals of the ECM connector.
Result:
A
REPLACE ECM
(Refer to REMOVAL [06/2016 - ] )
Result:
B
REPLACE INJECTOR DRIVER (EDU)
(Refer to REMOVAL [06/2016 - ] )
- INSPECT ECM (FPD VOLTAGE)
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Disconnect the injector driver (EDU) connector.
- Inspect the ECM using an oscilloscope.

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.
