Fuel Pump Control Module - J538- / Transfer Fuel Pump - G6-, Checking

General Description 

The Engine Control Module -J623- tells the Fuel Pump Control Module -J538- the demand needed for fuel volume and pressure and activates the Fuel Delivery Unit -GX1-. The Fuel Delivery Unit -GX1- transfers fuel to the rest of the fuel system, where it is monitored by the Engine Control Module -J623- through sensors, and controlled through regulators and/or metering valves.

Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required 

Test Requirements 

Test Procedure 

NOTE:

When the door is opened or the Ignition is turned to the ON position the fuel pump is activated for 2 seconds to build up the pressure in the fuel system.
