DTC P0230 Fuel Pump Primary Circuit
DESCRIPTION
In the diagram below, when the engine is cranked, current flows from terminal ST1 of the ignition switch into the ECM to the ST (starter) relay coil and also current flows to terminal STA of the ECM (STA signal).When the STA signal and NE signal are input to the ECM, Tr1 (power transistor 1) is turned ON, current flows to the coil of the circuit opening relay, the relay switches on, power is supplied to the fuel pump, and the fuel pump operates.
While the NE signal is generated (engine running), the ECM keeps the Tr1 ON (circuit opening relay ON) and the fuel pump also keeps operating.
The fuel pump speed is controlled at two levels (high speed or low speed) by engine condition (starting, light load, heavy load). When the engine starts (STA ON), Tr2 (power transistor 2) in the ECM is OFF, so the fuel pump relay closes and positive battery voltage is applied directly to the fuel pump. The fuel pump operates at high speed.
During idling or under light loads, Tr2 goes ON, and then power is supplied to the fuel pump via the fuel pump resistor. The fuel pump operates at low speed.

WIRING DIAGRAM

- HINT:
- This DTC chart is on the premise that the engine is started normally. If the engine is difficult to start, proceed to the problem symptoms table (Click here).
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
1.INSPECT ECM (FPR VOLTAGE)

Measure the voltage of the ECM connector.
- Standard voltage:
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition FPR (E6-30) - E1 (E6-1) STA signal ON 9 to 14 V FPR (E6-30) - E1 (E6-1) STA signal OFF 0 to 3 V
| REPLACE ECM | |||
| OK | |

2.INSPECT FUEL PUMP RELAY

Remove the fuel pump relay from the engine room R/B.
Measure the resistance of the fuel pump relay.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection Specified Condition 3 - 4 Below 1 Ω 3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 4 10 kΩ or higher
(when battery voltage applied to terminals 1 and 2)3 - 5 Below 1 Ω
(when battery voltage applied to terminals 1 and 2)

| OK | |

3.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FUEL PUMP RELAY - ECM)

Remove the fuel pump relay from the engine room R/B.
Disconnect the E6 ECM connector.
Measure the resistance between wire harness side connectors.
- Standard resistance (Check for open):
Tester Connections Specified Conditions Fuel pump relay (1) - FPR (E6-30) Below 1 Ω
- Standard resistance (Check for short):
Tester Connections Specified Conditions Fuel pump relay (1) or FPR (E6-30) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
Reconnect the ECM connector.
Reinstall the fuel pump relay.
