Fuel Pump Relay

ECM powers relay as long as ECM receives ignition reference signals or starter crank signal. For fuel pump relay location, see FUEL PUMP RELAY LOCATION table.
To run fuel pump without starting engine, remove relay and jumper terminals No. 2 and 4. See Figure & Figure .
To test relay, use jumper wires to ground terminal No. 4 of relay and apply battery voltage to terminal No. 2 of relay. Using ohmmeter, check for continuity between relay terminals No. 1 and 3. If continuity is not present, replace relay.

⁽¹⁾

There are two unregulated pressure tests. The first is with fuel pressure regulator and pressure regulator Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV) vacuum hoses disconnected. The second is with pressure regulator vacuum hose connected, Blue wire of VSV is connected to positive battery terminal and Black wire connected to negative battery terminal. In both tests, pressure should be as specified.
