P0629

DTC P0629

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION




The DTC P0629 Fuel Pump Relay Control Circuit High Voltage diagnostic detects an incorrect voltage on the coil control circuit. The fuel pump relay, is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM energizes the relay coil for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned ON and when ignition system reference pulses are detected. The fuel pump relay supplies ignition positive voltage to the fuel pump.

DTC DESCRIPTOR
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC.
DTC P0629 Fuel Pump Relay Control Circuit High Voltage

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
- Battery voltage is 10.5 volts or more.
- DTC P0629 runs continuously with the above condition met.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
- The PCM detects a higher than expected voltage on the coil control circuit.
- The above condition is present for at least 1 second.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) the first time the diagnostic fails.
- The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. This information is stored in the Freeze Frame buffer.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
- The MIL turns OFF after 3 consecutively passing trips without a fault present.
- A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without a fault.
- Perform the scan tool Clear DTC Information function.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check for any of the following conditions:
- Check the resistance of the relay. The resistance across the coil terminals is 70-95 ohms at 20°C (68°F). The resistance across the switched terminals is infinite.
- The relay electrical contacts may be pitted or sticking. Replace the relay if tapping gently on the relay or wiggling the relay causes a change in the relays operation.
- The performance of the relay may be affected by temperature. Test the relay after sitting outside overnight and after running the engine 30 minutes.

An intermittent malfunction may be caused by a fault in the relay electrical circuit. Inspect the wiring harness and components for an intermittent condition. Refer to Intermittent Conditions. Intermittent Conditions




Use the above relay cavity table in order to locate the correct cavities to probe during diagnosis. The table layout corresponds to the cavity layout of the relay block.

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1-12:

Step 13:

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
4. This step verifies that the control module is providing voltage to the fuel pump relay.
5. This step tests for an open in the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay.
