2006 Model

If you suspect a problem with the fuel pump, check that the fuel pump actually runs; when it is on, you will hear some noise if you listen to the fuel fill port with the fuel fill cap removed. The fuel pump should run for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned on. If the fuel pump does not make noise, check as follows:

  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  2. Remove the left kick panel (see TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - DOOR AREAS ), then remove PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) (A) from the under-dash fuse/relay box.

  3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  4. Measure voltage between PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) 4P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.

    Is there battery voltage? 

    1. YES  - Go to step  5.
    2. NO- 
      • Replace PGM-FI main relay 1 (FI MAIN)
      • If needed replace the under-dash fuse/relay box.
  5. Measure voltage between PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) 4P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.

    Is there battery voltage? 

    1. YES  - Go to step  6.
    2. NO- 
      • Check the No. 19 FUEL PUMP (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
      • If needed replace the under-dash fuse/relay box.
  6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  7. Connect PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) 4P connector terminal No. 4 to body ground with a jumper wire.

  8. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
  9. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector E (31P).
  10. Check for continuity between body ground and ECM/PCM connector terminal E2.

    Is there continuity? 

    1. YES  - Go to step  11.
    2. NO  - Repair open in the wire between PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) and the ECM/PCM (E2).
  11. Reinstall PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP).
  12. Connect ECM/PCM connector terminal E5 to body ground with jumper wire.

    Is there battery voltage? 

    1. YES  - Go to step  15.
    2. NO  - Replace PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP).
  15. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  16. Reconnect ECM/PCM connector E (31P).
  17. Open the SCS line with the HDS.
  18. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  19. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminal E2 and body ground within 2 seconds.

    Is there battery voltage? 

    1. YES  - Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT CIRCUITS AT THE ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ).
    2. NO  - Go to step  20.
  20. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  21. Remove the trunk floor trim panel (see TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - TRUNK AREA ).
  22. Remove the access panel from the floor.
  23. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and measure voltage between fuel pump 5P connector terminal No. 5 and body ground within 2 seconds.

    Is there battery voltage? 

    • YES  - Go to step  28.
    • NO  - Go to step  24.
  24. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  25. Remove PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP).
  26. Connect PGM-FI main relay 2 (FUEL PUMP) 4P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2 with a jumper wire.
