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.
Fuel Pump
The central electronic module (CEM) (4/56) receives a request from the engine control module (ECM) (4/46) via the control area network (CAN) to start the fuel pump (FP) (6/33). The central electronic module (CEM) then activates the relay (2/23) which supplies the fuel pump with power.
In the event of a collision in which the airbags are deployed, a signal is transmitted from the supplemental restraint system (SRS) module (4/9) via the control area network (CAN) to the central electronic module (CEM) which deactivates the relay for the fuel pump.
If the control area network (CAN) is not functioning, a pulsed signal to control the fuel pump (FP) is transmitted from the engine control module (ECM) to the central electronic module (CEM) via a directly connected cable.
