Fuel pump relay/fuel pump

Fuel pump relay/fuel pump

Symptom of fault

Engine will not start

Diagnostic procedure

1. Check the operation of the fuel pump relay




- Connect an ISAT scan tool.



- Ignition switch in ON position.



- Select "ACTIVATE".



- Select "PUMP RELAY".


The main relay is activated for 10 seconds at a frequency of 1 Hz. If a longer activation time is required, the command will have to be repeated.


- Listen for the sound of the fuel pump relay and fuel pump working. They should both be heard working at a frequency of 1 Hz (once a second).


Can only the relay be heard?

yes

Continue with point 2.


no

Neither the relay nor the pump can be heard. Continue with point 7.


2. Check the fuse



- Check fuse 32 and change it if necessary.


Is the fuse OK?

yes

Continue with point 3.


no

If the fuse blows on repeated activation of the fuel pump relay by means of the ISAT scan tool, continue with point 6.


3. Check the fuel pump



- Forcibly supply the fuel pump with power.



- Connect a jumper lead between fuses 4 and 32.



- Listen for the sound of the pump working.


Is the pump working?

yes

Continue with point 4.


no

Continue with point 5.


4. Check the fuel pump relay



- Unplug the fuel pump relay.



- Connect a jumper lead between pins 30 and 87 on the relay holder.



- Listen for the sound of the fuel pump working.


Does the fuel pump work?

yes

Change the fuel pump relay.


no

Check the lead between pin 87 and fuse 32 and the lead between pin 30 and battery positive (B+). Repair or replace the leads if necessary.


5. Check the wiring harness



- Unplug connector H2-9 from the fuel pump. It is located on the fuel pump underneath the rear seat. Note that the connector with the two thick cables is the one to unplug. The others are connected to the level sensor.



- Connect the test lamp to pins 1 and 2 of the 2-pin male connector.



- Select "ACTIVATE".



- Select "PUMP RELAY".


The test lamp should flash at the rate of 1 Hz (once a second).

Does the test lamp flash?

yes

Change the fuel pump and wiring harness between H4-7 and H2-9, or just the wiring harness.


no

First check and if necessary rectify the lead between pin 2 and grounding point G3. If this does not help, deal with the lead between pin 1 and fuse 32 in the same way.


6. Check the fuel pump



- Unplug connector H2-9 from the fuel pump. It is located on the fuel pump underneath the rear seat.



- Change fuse 32 and repeat the ISAT scan tool command "PUMP RELAY".


Did the fuse blow?

yes

Check and if necessary rectify the wiring harness between fuse 32 and pin 1 of connector H2-9.


no

Change the fuel pump.


7. Check the fuel pump relay



- Unplug the fuel pump relay.



- Connect the test lamp to pins 85 and 86 of the relay holder.



- Ignition switch in ON position.



- Select "ACTIVATE".



- Select "PUMP RELAY".


The test lamp should flash at the rate of 1 Hz (once a second).

Does the test lamp flash?

yes

Change the fuel pump relay.


no

Continue with point 8.


8. Check the fuel pump relay's power supply



- Connect a test lamp to pin 86 of the relay holder and a good grounding point.


The test lamp should light up.

Is the test lamp on?

yes

Continue with point 9.


no

Check and if necessary repair or replace the lead between pin 86 of the relay holder and fuse 17.


9. Check the fuel pump relay's connection to ground



- Check the lead between pin 85 of the relay holder and pin 56 of the control module.


Is the lead OK?

yes

Proceed to .
