Have a mk6 the fuel pump died. Replaced with a new one etc etc doesn't start or run
Now has a communication error with the pump. P1665 irc
All the wiring checks out with no breaks, from pump to fuse box and to ecu
The PCM relay comes on and stays on, the power to the fuel pump relay is good
now the strange part;
The fuel pump relay is switched on and then shortly after turns back off. I’ve checked the negative connection back to the ecu and that is fine.
Why would it turn on and then back off, no wonder it can't communicate with the pump it's not on....
Questions
Should the power to the pump (pin 7) be live when the ignition is on and stay on, in my mind yes
Why does it turn back off, is it an initialisation problem ? pump turns on, handshake fails, so turns pump off ?
Thanks for any help
