X22SE 2.2L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSION

FUEL SYSTEM ELECTRICAL TEST

D06RX111

Circuit Description

When the ignition switch is first turned ON, the powertrain
control module (ECM) energizes the fuel pump relay
which applies power to the in–tank fuel pump. The fuel
pump relay will remain ON as long as the engine is
running or cranking and the ECM is receiving 58X
crankshaft position pulses. If no 58X crankshaft position
pulses are present, the ECM de–energizes the fuel pump
relay within 2 seconds after the ignition is turned ON or the
engine is stopped.
The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel rail and injectors,
then to the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pressure
regulator controls fuel pressure by allowing excess fuel  to
be returned to the fuel tank. With the engine stopped and
ignition ON, the fuel pump can be turned ON by using a
command by the Tech 2.

Diagnostic Aids

An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed–through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for the following items:

D

Poor connection or damaged harness – Inspect the
ECM harness and connectors for improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal–to–wire connection, and
damaged harness.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart:
2. If the fuel pump is operating but incorrect pressure

is noted, the fuel pump wiring is OK and the ”Fuel
System Pressure Test” chart should be used for
diagnosis.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury:

D

It is necessary to relieve fuel system pressure
before connecting a fuel pressure gauge. Refer to
Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure, below. 

D

A small amount of fuel may be released when
disconnecting the fuel lines. Cover fuel line
fittings with a shop towel before disconnecting, to
catch any fuel that may leak out. Place the towel in
an approved container when the procedure is
completed.

Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure

1. Remove the fuel cap.

2. Remove the fuel pump relay from the underhood

relay center.

3. Start the engine and allow it to stall.
4. Crank the engine for an additional 3 seconds.

Fuel Gauge Installation

1. Remove the shoulder fitting cap.
2. Install fuel gauge 5–8840–0378–0 to the fuel feed line

located in front of and above the right side valve
cover.

3. Reinstall the fuel pump relay.
