Key on.
Connect digital multimeter to the battery positive and battery negative posts.
While monitoring battery voltage, command outputs on. Note voltage within 5 seconds.
Command outputs off.

Was battery voltage greater than 11.0 volts?

Yes

No
Battery voltage is low. REFER to Charging

KB71 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT TO FUEL PUMP BY MEASURING VOLTAGE AT

FUEL PUMP USING BATTERY NEGATIVE AS A REFERENCE
z

z

Connect digital multimeter between the FP PWR circuit at the fuel pump harness connector and the
battery negative post.
Key on.
While monitoring voltage, command outputs on. Note voltage within 5 seconds.

Is voltage greater than 10.5 volts?

Yes
Ground fault to fuel pump indicated. CHECK all
associated wiring and connections for the fuel
pump and FPDM ground circuits. Carefully
CHECK the FPDM ground connection to
chassis ground. REPAIR as necessary.

No
KEY OFF. Ground circuit to fuel pump is OK.
GO to KB72 .

KB72 CHECK VOLTAGE TO FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE (FPDM)

Note: For LS6/LS8 and Thunderbird, the FPDM functions are incorporated in the Rear Electronics
Module (REM). In the following steps, if directed to complete an action with the FPDM, complete the
action with the REM.

Disconnect fuel pump driver module (FPDM).

Key on.
Measure voltage between the FPDM PWR circuit at the FPDM harness connector and the battery
negative post.

Is voltage greater than 10.5 volts?

Yes
KEY OFF. GO to KB73 .

No
KEY OFF. Improper voltage is being supplied to
FPDM. GO to KB75 .

KB73 CHECK FP PWR CIRCUIT

Connect a jumper wire between the FPDM PWR pin and FP PWR pin at the FPDM harness
connector.
Key on.
Measure voltage between the FP PWR circuit at the fuel pump harness connector and the battery
negative post.

Is voltage greater than 10.5 volts, AND within 0.5 volt of the reading in KB72?

Yes
KEY OFF. REMOVE jumper. VERIFY previous
test steps. CHECK related connectors for
corrosion, etc. If all checks are OK, REPLACE
FPDM.

No
KEY OFF. REMOVE jumper. CHECK for
causes of high resistance in FP PWR circuit.
