SPN 931 FMI 3 - EFP short to PWR

Fault Overview
Fault code sets when B+ is on EFP PWR circuit when Electric Fuel Pump (EFP) is commanded Off.

Lamp Reaction
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate when this fault is detected during two consecutive drive
cycles.

Associated Faults
None

Fault Facts
ECM will power fuel pump for 30 seconds after key is turned on. If ECM doesn’t see engine rotation at
end of 30 seconds, pump will shut off until engine rotation is detected.

Drive Cycle to Determine Fault Status

Key-On, Engine-Off (fuel pump commanded Off)

Possible Causes

l Fuel Pump PWR/FPM circuit short to GND

l Fuel Pump PWR/FPM circuit short to PWR
l Failed Fuel Pump Relay

End Diagnostic Tests

After performing diagnostic steps, if SPN 931 FMI 3 remains, verify each step was
completed correctly and proper decision was made. Notify supervisor for further
action.
