PINPOINT TEST HC: FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM

Introduction

WARNING: Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent accidental spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure, even when the engine is not running. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: When handling fuel, always observe fuel handling precautions and be prepared in the event of fuel spillage. Spilled fuel may be ignited by hot vehicle components or other ignition sources. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Clean all fuel residue from the engine compartment. If not removed, fuel residue may ignite when the engine is returned to operation. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Fuel may remain pressurized in some fuel lines after the Fuel System Pressure Release procedure. Wear safety gloves and a face shield when disconnecting pressure lines to avoid skin and eye contact. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

NOTE: Replacement fuel injectors may not be the same color as the original injectors in the vehicle. Verify the replacement injector is correct for the application by part number.

NOTE: With the engine running, the FRP PID value may be higher than a fuel pressure reading taken with a mechanical gauge.

The fuel pump control module monitors the duty cycle and frequency of the signal it receives from the PCM . The fuel pump control module determines if the signal from the PCM on the fuel pump command circuit is a valid duty cycle and frequency. If the duty cycle or frequency is invalid, the fuel pump control module sends a 20% duty cycle signal on the fuel pump monitor circuit to report the concern to the PCM .
PCM P025C:00	Fuel Pump Module 'A' Control Circuit Low: No Sub Type Information	Sets when the PCM detects a short to ground from the fuel pump command circuit. When the PCM commands the fuel pump ON, the PCM is able to detect a short to voltage from the fuel pump command circuit. When the PCM commands the fuel pump OFF, the PCM is able to detect an open circuit or a short to ground from the fuel pump command circuit.
PCM P025D:00	Fuel Pump Module 'A' Control Circuit High: No Sub Type Information	Sets when the PCM detects the fuel pump command circuit is open or short to voltage.
