Fuel Pump Electrical Circuit

The fuel pump relay is located below the rear seat inside the rear electrical center. The fuel pump relay allows the fuel pump to be energized by the PCM. When the ignition is first turned On, the PCM energizes the fuel pump relay for two seconds. This allows the fuel pump to run for two seconds and build up fuel pressure for cranking. The PCM then waits for ignition reference pulses from the ignition coils. Once the PCM sees references pulses, the PCM energizes the relay to run the fuel pump.
