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). The central electronic module (CEM) then activates the relay (2/23) which supplies the fuel pump unit (4/83) with power, which in turn powers the fuel pump (FP) (6/33).
If the controller area network (CAN) does not function the relay for the power supply to the fuel pump control module will not be activated.
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). The central electronic module (CEM) deactivates the relay for the fuel pump unit.
