DTC Descriptors
DTC P0231
- Fuel Pump Control Circuit Low Voltage
DTC P0232
- Fuel Pump Control Circuit High Voltage
DTC P023F
- Fuel Pump Control Circuit
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) supplies voltage to the fuel pump control module when the ECM detects that the ignition is on. The voltage from
the ECM to the fuel pump control module remains active for 2 seconds, unless the engine is in crank or run. While this voltage is being received,
the fuel pump control module supplies a varying voltage to the fuel tank pump module in order to maintain the desired fuel rail pressure.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P0231, P023F
The ignition voltage is between 9-18 V.
P0232
The control enable voltage signal supplied for the ECM to fuel pump control module is inactive for 4 seconds after engine has been shut off.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The fuel pump control module detects a fault on the fuel pump voltage circuit that is less than 4 V or greater than 4.5 V.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P0231, P0232, and P023F are Type A DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0231, P0232, and P023F are Type A DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
Using the Failure Records data may help locate an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information in the Failure Records
can help determine how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can help determine how many ignition cycles that the
diagnostic test reported a pass and/or a fail.
