Fuel pump circuit open between PCM and motor ground

Common causes of 95

  • The fuel pump circuit is open between the PCM and the pump motor ground.
  • The inertia fuel shutoff (IF5) switch is open or its contacts are bad.
  • The fuel pump ground or the wiring to it is damaged.
  • The PCM cannot complete the fuel pump circuit.

How to fix 95

  1. Check the fuel pump circuit between the PCM and the motor ground for an open.
  2. Check the inertia fuel shutoff (IF5) switch and reset it if it tripped.
  3. Check the wiring and the ground at the fuel pump.
