Circuit/System Testing
Note: Verify that the fuel tank is not empty. Only perform this diagnostic if there is at least 2 gallons of fuel in the fuel tank. Clear the DTC, and
start and run the engine. Verify that the DTC P0118B resets before proceeding with the circuit system testing. If the DTC does not reset, refer to
diagnostic aids.
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B47 fuel pressure sensor.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K27
fuel pump flow control module.
3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the B47 fuel pressure sensor 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal,
replace the K27 fuel pump flow control module.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K27 fuel
pump flow control module.
4. Verify the scan tool 5 V reference is less than 1 V.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K27 fuel
pump flow control module.
5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3. Verify the scan tool 5 V
reference is greater than 4.8 V.
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace
the K27 fuel pump flow control module.
6. If all circuits test normal, replace the B47 fuel pressure sensor.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
