Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

Fuse (SC1) OK.

Fuse (S132) OK.

Battery voltage at least 12.5 volts.

All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster, switched off.

Vehicles with automatic transmission, selector lever in position "P" or "N".

A/C switched off.

Ground (GND) connections between engine/transmission/chassis OK.

Ignition switched off.

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customer's complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check

- Remove access cover beneath the carpet on the passenger side of the luggage compartment

Checking voltage

Switch the ignition on.

- Using a Multimeter, check the following wiring connection for voltage.





Specified value: Battery voltage

- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

- Check the Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module (J538) wiring harness terminal 3 to the Battery B (+) terminal for an open circuit or short to Ground (GND).

- Check the Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module (J538) wiring harness terminal 2 to the B (+) terminal for an open circuit or short to B+.

- Check the electrical harness connectors for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If no malfunctions are found in the wiring:

- Switch the ignition on.

- Using a Multimeter, check the following wiring connection for voltage.





Specified value: about 5 V

- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

- Check the Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module (J538) wiring harness terminal 5 to the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) harness connector T94a, terminal 35 for an open circuit or short to Ground (GND).

- Check for an open circuit or short to Ground (GND).

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If no malfunctions are found in the wiring:

Checking Ground (GND)

- Using a Multimeter, check the Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module (J538) wiring harness terminal 4/31 to chassis ground for resistance.





Specified value: 1.5 ohms maximum.

If the specified value was not obtained:

- Check the Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module (J538) 4/31 to ground connection 6 (main wiring harness) for an open circuit or a short to Battery (+).

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If no malfunctions are found in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

- Replace the Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module (J538).

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the fault does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

- End diagnosis.

If the fault does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module, Replacing ] Engine Control Module, Replacing.

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
