Fuel Pump Circuit Troubleshooting
lf 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 listen to the fuel fill port with the fuel
fill cap removed. The fuel pump should run for 2
seconds when the ignition switch is first turned on. lf
the fuel pump does not make noise, check as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Remove the glove box {see page 20-63), then
remove the PGM-FI main relay 2 (A).
Turn the ignition switch ON {ll).
Measure voltage between PGM-Fl main relay 2 5P
connector lerminal No. 5 and body ground.

Fuel Pressure Relieving
Before disconnecting fuel lines or hoses, relieve
pressure from the system by disconnecting the fuel
tube/quick connect fitting in the engine compartment.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF,
2. Remove the PGM-Fl main relay 2 (A).
Startthe engine, and let it idle until it is stalls.
NOTE: The DTCS or Temporary DTCS P0301. P0302,
P0303, P0304 may come on during this procedure.
lf any DTCS are stored, ignore them.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Remove the fuel fill cap, and relieve fuel pressure
in the fueltank.
Remove the engine cover.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Check the fuel quick-connect fitting for dirt, and
clean it if necessary.

9. Place a rag or shop towel over the quick-connect
fitting (A).
Disconnect the quick-connect fifting (A): Hold the
connector (B) with one hand and squeeze the
retainer tabs (C) with the other hand to release
them from the locking pawls {D). Pullthe connector
off.
NOTE:. Prevent the remaining fuel in the fuel feedlineor
hose from flowing out with a rag or shop towel.. Be careful notto damage the line (E) or other
pa rts.. Do not use tools.. lf theconnectordoes not move, keepthe retainer
tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push
the connector until it comes off easily.. Do not remove the retainer from the line; once
removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.
After disconnecting the quick-connect fifting, check
it for dirt or damage (see page 1 1-149).

Fuel Gauge Sending Unit Test
Special Tools Required
Fuel sender wrench 07XAA-001010A
NOTE; For the fuel gauge system circuit diagram, referto the Gauges Circuit Diagram (see page 22-58||.
1. Checkthe No. 10 fUETER {7.5A)fuse in the under-
dash fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Do the gauge drive circuit check (see page 22-56|l.
' lf the fuel gauge needle sweeps from minimuni
to maximum position and then returns to the
minimum position. the gauge is OK. Go to step 3.. lf the fuel gau ge need le does not sweep from
minimum to maximum position position and
then return to the minimum position, replace thegauge assembly and retest.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Remove the rear seat cushion {see page 20-80).
5. Remove the access panel (A)from the floor.
6. Disconnect the fuel pump 5P connector {B).

7. Measure voltage between fuel pump 5P connectorterminals No. 1 and No. 2 with the ignition switchON (ll). There should be battery voltage.
. lf the voltage is as specified, go to step 8.. lf the voltage is notasspecified,checkfor:
- an open in the YEUBLK or BLK wire.- poor ground (G551).

Turn the ignition switch OFF. Remove the No. 9BACK UP (7.5A)fuse from the under-hood fuse/
relay box for at least 10 seconds, lhen reinstall it.
Install a 2 Q resistor between fuel pump 5P
connector lerminals No. 1 and No. 2, then turn the

10. Checkthatthe pointerof thefuel gauge indicates"F".
. lf the pointer does not indicate "F", replace the
ga uge.. lf the pointer indicates "F", inspect the fuel
gauge sending unit.
NOTE: The pointer of the fuel gauge retu rns to the
bottom of the gauge dial when the ignition switch
is OFF, regardless of the fuel level. -
11. Relieve the fuel pressure (see page 11-144\.
12. Remove the fuelfill cap.
13. Disconnect the quick-connect fittings from the fuel
pump.
14. Using the special tool, loosen the fuel tank unit
locknut (A).

15. Measure resistance between the No. 1 and No.2
terminals with the float at E (EN4PTY), 'l12 \HALF
FULL), and F {FULL) positions.
lf you do not get the following readings, replace the
fuel gauge sending unit {see page 1'1-163).

NOTE: Remove the No. 9 BACK UP (7.5A) fuse from
the under-hood fuse/relay box for at least 10
seconds after completing troubleshooting,
otherwise it may take up to 20 minutes for the fuel
gauge to indicate the correct fuel level.

Low Fuel Indicator Test
Do the fuel gauge sending unit test (see page 11,
rcol.
. lf the system is OK, go to step 2.. lf the system has any malfunction, repair it.
Turn the ignition switch OFF. Remove the No. 9
BACK UP (10A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/
relay box for at least 30 seconds, then reinstall it.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll) with the float at the
E (EMPry) position.
. lf the low fuel indicator is on, go to step 4.. lf the low fuel indicator is not on, refer to the low
