If you suspect a problem with the fuel pump, check that the fuel pump actually runs; when it is ON, you will hear some noise if you hold your ear to the fuel filler port with the fuel filler cap removed. If the pump does not make noise, check as follows:
- 1Remove the rear seat.
- 2Disconnect the 3P connector.CAUTION: Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF before disconnecting the wires.
- 3Check that battery voltage is available at the fuel pump connector when the ignition switch is turned ON (positive probe to the YEL/BLK wire, negative probe to the BLK wire).
