Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
Operation
OPERATION
The pump draws fuel through a strainer and pushes it through the motor to the outlet. The pump contains one check valve. The check valve, in the pump
outlet, maintains pump pressure during engine off conditions. The fuel pump relay provides voltage to the fuel pump.
The fuel pump has a maximum deadheaded pressure output of approximately 880 kPa (130 psi). The regulator adjusts fuel system pressure to
approximately 400 ±34 kPa (58 ±5 psi).
FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CONTROL
Voltage to operate the electric pump is supplied through the fuel pump relay. For an electrical operational description of the fuel pump refer to fuel
Pump Relay-PCM Output.
ELECTRICAL PUMP REPLACEMENT
The electric fuel pump is not serviceable. If the fuel pump or electrical wiring harness needs replacement, the complete fuel pump module must be
replaced. Perform the Fuel System Pressure Release procedure before servicing the fuel pump.See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Cylinder Head
