DTC Descriptor
DTC P2635
- Fuel Pump Flow Performance
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to the fuel pump control module (fuel pump control module) when the ECM detects that the ignition is on. The voltage from the ECM to the fuel pump control module remains active for 2 seconds, unless the engine is in crank or run. While this voltage is being received, the fuel pump control module supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* DTC P018B, P018C, P018D, P0231, P0232, P023F, P064A, P1255 or P06A6 are not active.
* DTC P0641 has not failed this ignition cycle.
* Fuel pump control is enabled and the fuel pump control state is normal.
* The system voltage is greater than 11 V.
* The engine has been running for more than 30 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
This DTC sets when the fuel pump control module detects a predetermined fuel pressure performance degradation between the desired fuel rail pressure and the current fuel rail pressure.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P2635 is a Type A DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P2635 is a Type A DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
Using the Failure Records data may help locate an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information in the Failure Records can help determine how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can help determine how many ignition cycles that the diagnostic test reported a pass and/or a fail.

Circuit/System Testing
1. Verify that DTCs P018B, P018C, P018D, P0231, P0232, or P023F are not set.
• If the DTCs are set, refer to DTC P018B-P018D P018B or DTC P0231, P0232, or P023F P0231.
2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the fuel tank pump module.
3. Ignition ON, test for less than 5.0 ohm between the fuel pump module low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the fuel pump module low reference circuit for a high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the fuel pump control module.
4. Ignition OFF, install a test lamp between the control circuit terminal D and the control circuit terminal A.
5. Ignition ON, command the fuel pump ON and OFF using a scan tool ECM fuel pump output control. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
• If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the fuel pump control module.
• If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the fuel pump control module.
6. If all circuits test normal, perform the Fuel System Diagnosis Fuel System Diagnosis to verify proper fuel pressure.
