Fuel Pump







SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM activates the fuel pump for several seconds after the ignition switch is turned on to improve engine startability. If the ECM receives a 180° signal from the camshaft position sensor, it knows that the engine is rotating, and causes the pump to perform. If the 180° signal is not received when the ignition switch is on, the engine stalls. The ECM stops pump operation and prevents battery discharging, thereby improving safety. The ECM does not directly drive the fuel pump. It controls the ON/OFF fuel pump relay, which in turn controls the fuel pump.




COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
A turbine type design fuel pump is used in the fuel tank.







DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

COMPONENT INSPECTION
Fuel pump relay





Check continuity between terminals (3) and (5).




If NG, replace relay.

Fuel pump
1. Disconnect fuel pump harness connector.




2. Check resistance between terminals (1) and (2).

Resistance: 0.2 - 5.0 Ohms at 25°C (77°F).

If NG, replace fuel pump.
