FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

System Description

The control module enables the fuel pump relay when the ignition switch is turned ON. The control module will
disable the fuel pump relay within two seconds unless the control module detects ignition reference pulses. The
control module continues to enable the fuel pump relay as long as ignition reference pulses are detected. The
control module disables the fuel pump relay within two seconds if ignition reference pulses cease to be detected
and the ignition remains ON.

The Fuel System is a returnless on-demand design. The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel sender

assembly, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A returnless fuel system reduces the internal
temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the fuel tank. Reducing the internal
temperature of the fuel tank results in lower evaporative emissions.

The fuel tank stores the fuel supply. An electric turbine style fuel pump attaches to the fuel sender assembly
inside the fuel tank. The fuel pump supplies high pressure fuel through the fuel filter and the fuel feed pipe to
the fuel injection system. The fuel pump provides fuel at a higher rate of flow than is needed by the fuel
injection system. The fuel pump also supplies fuel to a venturi pump located on the bottom of the fuel sender
assembly. The function of the venturi pump is to fill the fuel sender assembly reservoir. The fuel pressure
regulator, a part of the fuel sender assembly, maintains the correct fuel pressure to the fuel injection system. The
fuel pump and sender assembly contains a reverse flow check valve. The check valve and the fuel pressure
regulator maintain fuel pressure in the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail in order to prevent long cranking times.

3. Install a fuel pressure gauge. Refer to Fuel Pressure

IMPORTANT:

Verify that adequate fuel is in the fuel tank before
proceeding with this diagnostic.

CAUTION:

Wrap a shop towel around the fuel pressure
connection in order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury. The towel will absorb any fuel
leakage that occurs during the connection of the fuel
pressure gauge. Place the towel in an approved
container when the connection of the fuel pressure
gauge is complete.
