The control module enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The control module will disable the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds unless the control module detects ignition reference pulses. The control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference pulses are detected. The control module disables the fuel pump relay within 2 seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected and the ignition remains ON.

The control module monitors the voltage on the fuel pump relay control circuit. If the control module detects an incorrect voltage on the fuel pump relay control circuit, a fuel pump relay control DTC sets.

DTC P0230 is a Type B DTC.

With the ignition ON, engine OFF, command the fuel pump relay ON and OFF several times using the scan tool output control function. You should either hear or feel the relay click with each command.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the fuel pump relay.
2. Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the fuel pump relay and the ground circuit of the fuel pump relay.
4. Command the fuel pump relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. 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 ECM.

⇒	If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the fuel pump relay.

1. Measure for 70-110 ohms of resistance between terminals 85 and 86 of the fuel pump relay.

⇒	If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the fuel pump relay.

2. Measure for infinite resistance between the following terminals of the fuel pump relay:

•

30 and 86

•

30 and 87

•

30 and 85

•

85 and 87

⇒	If continuity is detected, replace the fuel pump relay.

3. Connect a 20-amp fused jumper wire from the positive terminal of the battery to relay terminal 85. Connect a jumper wire from the negative terminal of the battery to relay terminal 86. Measure for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87 of the relay.

⇒	If the resistance measures more than 2 ohms, replace the fuel pump relay.
