Checking Fuel Pump Operation Using Scan Tester

  1. Remove cover (if equipped) and install scan tester on data link connector No. 3. See Figure. Turn ignition on. DO NOT start engine.
  2. Using scan tester manufacturer's instructions, activate fuel pump. Listen for fuel pump operating sound and feel for pressure in fuel inlet line near fuel filter. Turn ignition off. Remove scan tester. If fuel pump operates, check fuel pressure. See FUEL PRESSURE .
  3. If fuel pump does not operate, EFI main relay, circuit opening relay or fuel pump relay (if used) may be defective. For relay application and explanation of relay operation, see FUEL PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT .
  4. If relays are okay, check wiring circuit and fuses. If fuel pump does not operate, check for defective fuel pump or defective fuel pump ground circuit. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
