Why does my ECM fuse?
Fuel Pump. Another cause of an ECM 1 fuse consistently blowing is a fuel pump problem. When the fuel pump begins to fail it overheats, causing it to drain more amperage (amp); if the amps exceed the amount of amps the ECM 1 fuse allows, the fuse will blow. Replacing the fuel pump should correct this problem.
What to do when ECM 1 fuse blows?
Hi GMCs! Just turn the key on the ignition and ECM 1 fuse blows. I am trying to find a short in the circuit. Would anyone help me with this task? Any relevant information available? Thanks guys!
What does p018c code mean on ECM1 fuse?
Now when turning the key (No crank) and ECM1 fuse blows, it shows P018C code. I did some search and some people report being “Fuel Injection Pressure Sensor” malfuction and other saying “Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor”.
Why is the ECM 1 fuse blowing on my Acadia?
When I got the yellow engine warning last week, I scanned the 2011 acadia and it showed P0451 code. It seemed it could be related to EVAP problem. I drove for couple days and then I filled up the tank to top. Now when turning the key (No crank) and ECM1 fuse blows, it shows P018C code.
What happens when an ECM power relay goes dead?
If the relay shorts it can leave power on to the computer, even when the vehicle is turned off. This will place a parasitic drain on the battery, which will eventually cause it to go dead. The ECM power relay is one of the most important relays as it provides power for the vehicle’s computer system.
Is there an ECM signal to the fuel pump relay?
The fuel pump relay works as it should. I always have power to Pin 30. I believe the ECM tells the relay to work via the green/black wire to Pin 85. This should happen for 2 seconds when the key is turned on. I have tested this when the issue is occurring and have confirmed that no signal is being sent from the ECM.
Is there a way to make a fuel pump run?
I can make the pump run by using a jumper at the relay and by utilizing the Prime test slot; however, even when the pump is running continuously via the jumper, the truck will not start – just cranks. I’ve tested every fuse I have inside the cab and under the hood. I’ve checked grounds.
Why is my fuel pump relay not working?
Most of the time, if I leave the key in the On position, after several seconds to a few minutes, it will all of the sudden prime and the gauge comes alive. Then it will work for a few days until the next time it randomly doesn’t. I have ruled out the Passkey issue. The fuel pump relay works as it should. I always have power to Pin 30.
Where does the electricity from the fuel pump relay come from?
This is the ground from the electromagnetic coil inside the relay that receives electricity from a switched power source to pin #86.
