FUEL PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT

Note. For information on testing relays and fuel system components, see SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article. Circuit opening relay is used on all models except Land Cruiser & LX470. Circuit opening relay may be identified by appropriate illustration in SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS For complete wiring circuit of electrical components on a specific model, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.

Circuit Opening Relay (Avalon, Camry & Sienna)

Circuit opening relay controls the fuel pump circuit. When EFI main relay is energized, EFI main relay provides battery voltage to circuit opening relay. When proper input signals are delivered to the Engine Control Module (ECM), the circuit opening relay ground circuit is grounded at ECM terminal FC. Circuit opening relay then provides voltage to fuel pump for fuel pump operation. See CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY LOCATION table.

Circuit Opening Relay (Tacoma & T100)

Circuit opening relay controls the fuel pump circuit. When EFI main relay is energized, EFI main relay provides battery voltage to one side of circuit opening relay. When engine is cranking, circuit opening relay receives a start signal which energizes circuit opening relay. Circuit opening relay then provides voltage to fuel pump for fuel pump operation. When start signal is released from circuit opening relay, the Engine Control Module (ECM) then controls the ground circuit for circuit opening relay at ECM terminal FC. Circuit opening relay then provides voltage to fuel pump for fuel pump operation. See CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY LOCATION table.

Circuit Opening Relay (4Runner)

Circuit opening relay controls the fuel pump circuit. When EFI main relay is energized, EFI main relay provides battery voltage to circuit opening relay. When proper input signals are delivered to the Engine Control Module (ECM), the circuit opening relay ground circuit is grounded at ECM terminal FC. Circuit opening relay then provides voltage to fuel pump for fuel pump operation. See CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY LOCATION table.

CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY LOCATION

Note. EFI main relay may also be referred to as EFI relay.

EFI Main Relay (Avalon & Camry)

The EFI fuse supplies constant battery voltage to EFI main relay. EFI main relay is energized when ignition is turned on by voltage supplied through IGN fuse to EFI main relay on vehicles not equipped with engine immobilizer system, or by MREL terminal of Engine Control Module (ECM) on vehicles equipped with engine immobilizer system. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article. When EFI main relay is energized, the EFI main relay provides battery voltage to circuit opening relay, data link connector No. 1 and various other electrical components. The EFI main relay also provides battery voltage to +B terminal of Engine Control Module (ECM). EFI main relay is located in fuse/relay box at driver's side front corner of engine compartment, near the battery.

EFI Main Relay (Land Cruiser & LX470)

The EFI fuse supplies constant battery voltage to EFI main relay. When EFI main relay is energized by MREL terminal of Engine Control Module (ECM), the EFI main relay provides battery voltage to +B terminal of fuel pump Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and various other electrical components. The EFI main relay also provides battery voltage to +B terminal of ECM. For operation of fuel pump ECU and fuel pump switch, see FUEL PUMP ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) & FUEL PUMP SWITCH under FUEL PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT . EFI main relay is located in fuse/Relay box at driver's side front corner of engine compartment, near the battery.

EFI Main Relay (Sienna, Tacoma, T100 & 4Runner)

The EFI fuse supplies constant battery voltage to EFI main relay. EFI main relay is energized when ignition is turned on by voltage supplied through IGN fuse to EFI main relay. When EFI main relay is energized, the EFI main relay provides battery voltage to circuit opening relay, data link connector No. 1 and various other electrical components. The EFI main relay also provides battery voltage to +B terminal of Engine Control Module (ECM). EFI main relay is located in fuse/relay box at driver's side front corner of engine compartment, near the battery.

Fuel Pump Electronic Control Unit (ECU) & Fuel Pump Switch (Land Cruiser & LX470)

Fuel pump operating speed is controlled by the operating condition of the engine such as: starting, idling, light load or heavy load. The Engine Control Module (ECM) delivers an input signal from FPC terminal on ECM to FPC terminal on fuel pump ECU in accordance with the engine operating condition. The fuel pump ECU uses this input signal to determine how much voltage should be delivered to the fuel pump for varying fuel pump operating speed. If a problem exists in fuel pump ECU or control circuit, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1200 may be stored in the ECM. See TESTS W/CODES article for retrieving and servicing of any DTCs. Fuel pump ECU is located behind inner panel, just behind driver's side rear wheelwell. (Scheme 60)

Note. Fuel pump switch may also be referred to as fuel pump inertia switch or fuel pump control switch.

The fuel pump switch is in the circuit between FPC terminal on ECU and FPC terminal on fuel pump ECU. If the vehicle is involved in a collision, the fuel pump switch will shut off the fuel pump by opening this circuit, and not allowing any input signal to be delivered from ECM to fuel pump ECU. Fuel pump switch is located on driver's side of instrument panel. (Scheme 61) Fuel pump switch contains a reset switch which has an OFF and ON position. (Scheme 61) Continuity will exist between electrical terminals on fuel pump switch with reset switch in the ON position, and no continuity in the OFF position. Reset switch must be in ON position for fuel pump operation.

1. Disconnect electrical connector from crankshaft position sensor. Crankshaft position sensor is located at front of crankshaft, near crankshaft pulley. (Scheme 70)-35.
2. Manufacturer recommends removing crankshaft position sensor before checking the resistance. Remove bolt and crankshaft position sensor.
3. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between electrical terminals on crankshaft position sensor. Replace crankshaft position sensor if resistance is not within specification. See «CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE»(ref-22528-S21189306792001010300000) table.
4. Reinstall crankshaft position sensor. Install and tighten crankshaft position sensor bolt to 71 INCH lbs. (8.0 N.m). Reinstall electrical connector.

1. Crankshaft position sensor is located at front of crankshaft, near crankshaft pulley. (Scheme 70)-35. Manufacturer recommends removing crankshaft position sensor before checking the resistance.
2. Remove lower engine cover for access to crankshaft position sensor. Disconnect electrical connector from crankshaft position sensor. Remove bolt and crankshaft position sensor.
3. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between electrical terminals on crankshaft position sensor. Replace crankshaft position sensor if resistance is not within specification. See «CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE»(ref-22528-S21189306792001010300000) table.
4. Reinstall crankshaft position sensor. Install and tighten crankshaft position sensor bolt to 58 INCH lbs. (6.6 N.m). Reinstall electrical connector and lower engine cover.

1. Crankshaft position sensor is located just above crankshaft pulley. (Scheme 70)-35. Manufacturer recommends removing crankshaft position sensor before checking the resistance.
2. Remove lower engine cover if necessary for access to crankshaft position sensor. Disconnect electrical connector from crankshaft position sensor. Remove bolt and crankshaft position sensor.
3. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between electrical terminals on crankshaft position sensor. Replace crankshaft position sensor if resistance is not within specification. See «CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE»(ref-22528-S21189306792001010300000) table.

IDLE SPEED & IGNITION TIMING

Ensure idle speed and ignition timing are set to specification. For adjustment procedures, see ADJUSTMENTS article.

SUMMARY

If no faults were found while performing BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, proceed to TESTS W/CODES article. If no hard diagnostic trouble codes are found in self-diagnostics, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.) or intermittent diagnostic procedures.
