I had this code 3 or 4 years ago and it was corrosion on the relay connector (caused by a front end accident that damaged the splash shield on the driver's side). I cleaned up the contacts and was fine until August when the code returned. Hoping for a better repair I got a connector from a junked car and soldered it in over Christmas. The pump is running on cold starts (I can feel it running for the first 10 - 30 seconds). I also jumpered it with the engine off and it seems to run fine. But the code still returns.
Any ideas?
I'm going to remove the pump and check the filter and how freely the motor spins (maybe a little oil will help). My temporary inspection after a failure (10 days to fix) runs our on Friday so I'm under the gun to get it fixed.
