    What Does P0231 Mean?

    OBD-II Code P0231 is defined as a Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit Low

    The Fuel Pump enables the transfer of fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel injectors in the engine. The Fuel Pump is controlled by the engine computer (PCM) or the Fuel Pump Control Module (most newer vehicles). When the Ignition is turned on, the PCM or Fuel Pump Control Module will activate the fuel pump. If the PCM detects an incorrect signal to or from the fuel pump, it will set code P0231.

    What are the common causes of P0231 ?

    Likely causes are a faulty fuel pump relay, a faulty PCM, the fuel pump safety interrupt switch has been activated (Ford), or an open circuit in the fuel pump wiring or connectors.

    How do you troubleshoot P0231 ?

    Pack the connector cavity with dielectric silicone compound (same stuff they use for light bulb sockets and spark plug wires) and reassemble. Look for missing ground strap or a rusty ground where the fuel tank is grounded to the frame. Check for damage to the wiring harness connector. Oxygen sensors signal the engine management computer the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust, which is used in determining and controlling the fuel ratio.
