P2633

Moderate

Fuel Pump "B" Control Circuit Low

What Does P2633 Mean?

The fuel pump 'B' control circuit voltage is below the expected threshold. The ECM has detected that the signal or voltage in the circuit controlling the secondary or auxiliary fuel pump is too low, indicating a potential short to ground or driver circuit failure.

Common Causes

35%

Damaged or chafed wiring creating a short to ground in the fuel pump control circuit

Wiring harness
Connector pins

30%

Failed fuel pump driver module or ECM internal driver circuit

20%

Corroded or damaged electrical connector at fuel pump or control module

Electrical connector
Connector terminals

15%

Faulty fuel pump 'B' with internal short to ground

Fuel pump B

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Visually inspect all wiring and connectors in the fuel pump 'B' control circuit for damage, corrosion, or signs of shorting

2

Step 2: Disconnect fuel pump 'B' connector and measure resistance to ground on the control wire from the ECM/driver module side

3

Step 3: Check voltage supply and ground circuits at the fuel pump connector with key on

4

Step 4: Test the fuel pump driver module output signal using a digital multimeter or oscilloscope

5

Step 5: If all wiring checks good, test fuel pump 'B' resistance and compare to specifications

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $800
