Fuel Pump: Testing and Inspection
Fuel Pump TestIf you suspect a problem with the fuel pump, check that the fuel pump actually runs; when it is ON, you will hear some noise if you hold your ear to the fuel filler port with the fuel filler cap removed. The pump should run for approx. 2 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned on. If the pump does not make noise, check as follows:
1. Remove the left maintenance access cover in the luggage area.
2. Disconnect the coupler.
CAUTION: Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF before disconnecting the wires.
3. Check that battery voltage is available for two seconds at the fuel pump connector when the ignition switch is first turned ON (Positive probe to the YEL wire, negative probe to the BLK wire).
- If battery voltage is available, replace the fuel pump.
- If there is no voltage, check the main relay and wire harness.
NOTE: When installing the maintenance access cover, make sure the seal is attached to the cover.
