Diagnostic Procedure

CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Pinch fuel feed hose with two fingers.
  Fuel pressure pulsation should be felt on the fuel feed hose for 5 second after ignition switch is turned ON.
OK or NG
1. OK: INSPECTION END
2. NG: GO TO 2.

DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following
- Fuse block (J/B) No. 1 connector M1
- Fuse block (J/B) No. 2 connectors M143, M145
- 15A fuse
- Harness for open or short between fuse and fuel pump relay
  1. Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
CHECK FUEL PUMP POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect "fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump" harness connector.
