1996 Volvo 850 Base, 4D Wagon, Standard, M59SECTION Fuel Pump Relay
- Remove fuel pump relay from fuse/relay box. Connect jumper wire between fuel pump relay terminals No. 1 and 3. See Fig 1 . Turn ignition on. If fuel pump does not start, go to next step. If fuel pump starts, replace fuel pump relay.
- Turn ignition off. To check relay ground, connect ohmmeter between ground and fuel pump relay terminal No. 2. See Fig 1 . Ohmmeter should indicate about zero ohms. If ohmmeter does not indicate about zero ohms, check wiring between fuel pump relay and ground.
- To check fuel pump relay voltage supply, connect voltmeter between ground and fuel pump relay terminal No. 1. See Fig 1 . Turn ignition on. Battery voltage should be present. If battery voltage is not present, check wiring between fuel pump relay and fuse No. 2.
- Turn ignition off. Connect ohmmeter between ground and relay terminal No. 3. See Fig 1 . About 1.5 ohms should be present. If about 1.5 ohms are not present, check resistance at fuel pump connector to determine whether fault is in pump or wiring.
- To check fuel injection control signal to fuel pump relay, connect voltmeter between ground and fuel pump relay terminal No. 4. See Fig 1 . Operate starter motor. If voltmeter indicates about 3 volts, replace relay. If voltage is not to specification, check wiring between fuel pump relay and ECM.
