FK5 KOEO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE P0231
Note: Voltage is present for 20 seconds after key on with engine not running.

DTC P0231 indicates voltage was not present on fuel pump monitor circuit when the fuel pump was commanded on.
Possible causes:
open inertia switch
blown F/P fuse
open fuel pump monitor circuit
open fuel pump control circuit
faulty fuel pump relay

KB1 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0475
possible causes:
shorted to power
open/grounded circuit
damaged solenoid
damaged PCM

Key off.
Was voltage greater than 10.5 volts?
Yes No
GO to FK7 . RESET or REPLACE inertia switch. RESTORE vehicle. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.

FK7 CHECK FUEL PUMP MONITOR CIRCUIT
Install breakout box; leave PCM disconnected.
Disconnect inertia switch harness connector.
Measure resistance of Circuit 737 (PK/BK) between inertia switch harness connector and PCM Test Pin 40.
Is resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes No
REPLACE PCM. RESTORE vehicle. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST. REPAIR open in fuel pump monitor Circuit 737 (PK/BK). RESTORE vehicle. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.

FK8 CHECK FUEL PUMP FUSE
Key off.

Yes No
GO to FK9 . REPLACE fuse. RESTORE vehicle. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.

FK9 CHECK FOR POWER TO FUEL PUMP RELAY
Remove fuel pump relay.
Key on, engine off.
For F-Series, measure voltage of Circuit 1059 (LB/O) between Pin 2 of the fuel pump relay harness connector and ground.
For E-Series, measure voltage of Circuit 37 (Y) between Pin 2 of the fuel pump relay harness connector and ground.
Key off.
Was voltage greater than 10.5 volts?
Yes No
GO to FK10 . REPAIR open in Circuit 1059 (LB/O) for F-Series or Circuit 37 (Y) for E-Series. RESTORE vehicle. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.

FK10 CHECK INERTIA SWITCH FEED CIRCUIT
Disconnect inertia switch harness connector.
Measure resistance of Circuit 238 (DG/Y) between fuel pump relay harness connector Pin 4 and inertia switch harness connector.
Is resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes No
REPLACE fuel pump relay. RESTORE vehicle. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST. REPAIR open in Circuit 238 (DG/Y). RESTORE vehicle. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.
