WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the fuel pump resistor. (See FUEL PUMP RESISTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
Verify that the continuity between the fuel pump resister terminal A and B is within the specification.
