FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
Circuit Description
The fuel pump is an in–tank type mounted to a fuel sender
assembly. The fuel pump will remain on as long as the en-
gine is cranking or running and the Engine Control Module
(ECM) is receiving reference pulses from the crankshaft
position (CKP) sensor. If there are no reference pulses,
the ECM will turn off the fuel pump two seconds after the
ignition switch is turned ON or two seconds after the en-
gine stops running. The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel
rail and the fuel injectors, where the fuel system pressure
is controlled from 284 to 325 kPa (41 to 47 psi) by the fuel
pressure regulator. The excess fuel is returned to the fuel
tank.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
2. When the engine is idling, the intake manifold vacu-
um is high. This vacuum is applied to the fuel pres-
sure regulator diaphragm, offsetting the spring
pressure inside the fuel pressure regulator and low-
ering the fuel pressure.10. If there is fuel bleeding back through the fuel return
outlet, this is due to a faulty fuel pressure regulator.
14. Another symptom often present when the fuel injec-
tors are leaking is hard starting. Leaking fuel injec-
tors can cause a flooding condition.
23. Fuel leaking from the fuel pump inlet is due to a
faulty one–way check valve in the fuel pump.
CAUTION : The fuel system is under pressure. To
avoid fuel spillage and the risk of personal injury or
fire, it is necessary to relieve the fuel system pressure
before disconnecting the fuel lines.
CAUTION : Do not pinch or restrict nylon fuel lines to
avoid damage that could cause a fuel leak, resulting
in possible fire or personal injury.
Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Remove the fuel pump fuse EF18 from the engine
fuse box.
3. Start the engine and allow the engine to stall.
4. Crank the engine for an additional 10 seconds.

FUEL PUMP RELAY CIRCUIT CHECK (1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the Engine Control
Module (ECM) will supply battery voltage to activate the
fuel pump relay and run the in–tank fuel pump. The fuel
pump will operate as long as the engine is cranking or run-
ning and the ECM is receiving ignition reference pulses.
If there are no reference pulses, the ECM will shut off the
fuel pump within 2 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned ON.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent problem may be caused by a poor connec-
tion, rubbed through wire insulation, or a broken wire in-
side the insulation.Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
3. This step checks for the ECM providing a ground
for the operation of the fuel pump relay.
7. By confirming that the wiring is OK using Steps 2
through 6, it can be determined that the fuel pump
relay is at fault.
9. After determining that there is no ground being pro-
vided by the ECM to the fuel pump relay, the fault is
either the ECM or the wiring between the ECM and
the fuel pump relay.
