DTC P0230 Fuel Pump Primary Circuit


DESCRIPTION

When the engine is cranked, current flows from terminal ST2 of the ignition switch to the ST 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, Transistor 1 (Tr1) of the ECM is turned ON, current flows to the coil of the circuit opening relay (Unit B: C/OPN), 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 Tr1 ON (C/OPN relay ON) and the fuel pump also keeps operating. The fuel pump speed is controlled at two levels (high speed or low speed) by the condition of the engine (starting, light load, heavy load).
The fuel pump operates at high speed when: 1) the engine starts and the STA signal is ON: and 2) Transistor 2 (Tr2) of the ECM is OFF, causing the fuel pump relay (Marking: F/PMP) to close and battery positive (+) voltage to be applied directly to the fuel pump.
The fuel pump operates at low speed when: 1) after the engine starts, the engine is idling or has a light load: and 2) since the ECM's Tr2 is ON, battery positive voltage is applied to the fuel pump via the fuel pump resistor.

HINT:
This DTC chart is based on the premise that the engine is started normally. If the engine is difficult to start, proceed to the problem symptoms table (Toyota Fortuner RM0000015IT003X.html).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is 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.
