What it means

The engine computer (ECU) switches the fuel pump on through a relay or a dedicated fuel pump control module. The computer detected an open or fault in this control circuit, so the pump may not run and fuel may not reach the engine.

Symptoms4

  • Engine cranks normally but does not start.
  • Sudden stalling while driving.
  • No pump hum for a few seconds when the key is switched on.
  • Check engine light on.

Possible causes5

  • Faulty fuel pump relay or blown fuse.
  • Broken or corroded control circuit wiring or connectors.
  • Faulty fuel pump control module on vehicles that have one.
  • Open circuit in the pump itself on some systems.
  • Faulty control circuit inside the engine computer (rare).

How to diagnose5

  1. Switch the key on and listen for the pump near the fuel tank.
  2. Check the pump fuse and swap in an identical known-good relay to test.
  3. Use the scan tool to command the pump on if the function is available, and watch the relay.
  4. Measure voltage on the control circuit at the relay or pump module while it is commanded on.
  5. Check wiring and connector continuity against the manufacturer wiring diagram.

How to fix5

  1. Replace the faulty fuse or relay.
  2. Repair the broken wire or corroded connector.
  3. Replace the fuel pump control module if proven faulty.
  4. Replace the fuel pump if its internal circuit is open.
  5. Clear the codes and confirm the pump runs, fuel pressure is stable and the code does not return.

Repair cost

In Saudi riyals; the highlighted part is the expected range for this fault.

The cost is low for a relay, fuse or connector repair, and rises if a pump control module or a new pump is needed.

Prices are rough estimates for common cars at independent workshops and vary with the car and the source of the part.

Frequently asked questions

Does this code mean the fuel pump is bad?

Usually not. The code concerns the control circuit, and the most common cause is a relay, fuse or connector. Replace the pump only after the circuit is proven good.

Can I drive with this code?

With great caution, because the engine can stall suddenly if the pump stops. If it will not start, avoid long cranking that strains the battery and starter.
