### Circuit Description

The engine control module (ECM) provides ignition voltage to the coil side of the fuel pump relay whenever the engine is cranking or running. The control module enables the fuel pump relay as long as the engine is cranking or running, and ignition system reference pulses are received. If no ignition system reference pulses are received, the control module turns OFF the fuel pump.

The fuel pump relay control circuit is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled up to 2.5 volts within the ECM. The ECM can determine if a control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage. If the ECM detects the control circuit voltage is more than a predetermined voltage when the circuit is commanded OFF, this DTC sets.

### DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0629 Fuel Pump Relay Control Circuit High Voltage

### Conditions for Running the DTC

• | The engine speed is more than 80 RPM.

• | The ignition 1 voltage is between 10-18 volts.

• | The ECM has commanded the fuel pump relay ON and OFF at least once during the ignition cycle.

• | DTC P0629 runs continuously once the above conditions are met.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

• | The ECM detects the voltage on the fuel pump relay control circuit voltage signal is higher than 2.74 volts.

• | This conditions exists for a cumulation of 50 seconds.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.

• | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

### Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 4 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

• | A current DTC, last test failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

• | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.

• | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

### Diagnostic Aids

• | Use the J 35616-A/BT-8637 Connector Test Adapter Kit for any test that requires probing the ECM harness connector or a component harness connector.

• | The lower connector of the ECM is connector C1 and the upper connector of the ECM is connector C2. Refer to Engine Controls Component Views .

• | If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors while monitoring the circuit status for the component in the Output Driver Module (ODM) data list with a scan tool. The circuit status parameter changes from OK to Fault, if there is a condition with the circuit or a connection.

• | For an intermittent condition, refer to Intermittent Conditions .

### Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

1. This step verifies that the control module is providing voltage to the fuel pump relay.

2. This step tests for an open in the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay.
