fuel pump dead? Code 542

drove my bronco around this morning. Went to drive it this afternoon, and the fuel pump wont come on. I checked all fuses9in cab and under hood) and the inertia shut-off switch. Ran codes, pulled 542:"fuel pump secondary curcuit failure: PCM to ground" Any know what this could be? I also checked the voltage to and from the shutoff switch. 3 wire conector, when unpluged: 12v, 6v, and 0v. When pluged in: 12v, 6v, and 6v. Anyone know if this is right, or wants to check theirs? Tomorrow I will probably have to drop the tank and check the leads into the pump.
