Transfer Fuel Pump, Checking
Transfer Fuel Pump, Checking
• Models with an airbag are installed with a crash fuel shut-off system. It reduces the danger of a fire in a crash as the fuel pump is switched off via the fuel pump relay.
• When the door is opened the fuel pump is activated for 2 seconds to build up the pressure in the fuel system.
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Hand held remote control (jumper).
• Multimeter.
• Electrical connector test lead set.
Test conditions
• Battery voltage at least 12.5 volts..
• Power Supply Relay (terminal 30) (J317) OK.
• Fuel filter OK.
• Ignition switched off.
Test procedure
- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.
Test sequence
- Remove the rear seat bench. Refer to the appropriate service manual.
- Remove cover retainers from the right sealing flange.
- Disconnect the electrical harness connector from the Transfer Fuel Pump (FP) (G6) fuel delivery unit.
- Connect a hand-held remote control (jumper) to terminal 5 of the fuel delivery unit and to vehicle battery (+).
- Connect a jumper cable from an Electrical connector test lead set to terminal 1 of the fuel delivery unit and to vehicle Ground (GND).
- Press switch on the hand-held remote control (jumper).
• The Fuel Pump (FP) runs quietly. Avoid surrounding noises while testing the fuel pump.
- Listen for an operating noise from the fuel pump.
If no operating noise is heard:
- Remove the fuel delivery unit.
- Using a multimeter, check the electrical circuit between terminals 1 to and 5 of the fuel delivery unit pump motor for resistance.
Specified value: 1.5 ohms max.
If the specification was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for an open circuit, a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or to Ground (GND).
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.
If the specification was obtained:
- Replace the fuel delivery unit.
- Using a multimeter, check the Transfer Fuel Pump (FP) (G6) electrical harness connector to the Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module (J538) electrical harness T12 connector for resistance.
Final procedures
After 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 Modes 01 - 09.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Programming and Relearning.
