Special tools and workshop equipment required 

Test Requirements 

Test Procedure 

-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customer's complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK 

Start diagnosis

-- Remove rear seat assembly. Refer to the appropriate service information.

Checking voltage

Switch the ignition on.

-- Using a multimeter, check the following wiring connection for voltage.

Fuel Pump Control Module -J538- Terminal Measure to
12 Chassis Ground (GND)

Specified value: Battery voltage

-- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Check the Fuel Pump Control Module -J538- wiring harness terminal 12 to theTerminal 30 Power Supply Relay -J317- terminal 8/87 for an open circuit or short to Ground (GND).

-- Check the electrical harness connectors for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

Checking Ground (GND)

-- Using a multimeter, check the Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module -J538- wiring harness terminal 4 to T91/21 for resistance.

Fuel Pump Control Module -J538- Terminal Engine Control Module -J623- electrical harness connector T91 terminals
4 21

Specified value: 1.5 Ω maximum.

If the specified value was not obtained:

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If no malfunctions are found in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

-- Replace theFuel Pump Control Module -J538-. Refer to the appropriate service information.

-- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the fault does not return:

Generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .

If the fault does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

-- Replace the Engine Control Module -J623-. Refer to the appropriate service information.

-- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final Procedures 

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

  1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
