Is there battery voltage for 2 seconds?  

YES -Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), 
or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the 
symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM (see 
ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). 

NO -Go to step 18. 

18. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

19. Remove the center console (see CENTER CONSOLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).  

20. Fold back the rear floor covering to reach the access panel (see REAR FLOOR COVERING ). Remove 

the access panel from the floor (see FUEL TANK UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).  

21. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and measure voltage between fuel pump 5P connector terminal No. 5
