MK6 2.4 TDDI Fuel pump communication / power

Postby username_unkown » Mon Apr 13, 2026 12:32 pm

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

Is it a "new to you" second hand pump...or a "brand new" pump..?? Do you know if the pump was "virginised".??

Has the pump been "coded" into the system using IDS or Forscan..??

recon pump, virgin.

no, just the switch on wait for it to do its thing and then off before starting (attempting to start in this case) like i have with other cars equipped with vp30 turds.

Strange...Mk6 doesn't have a "Can-Bus" system. Only the Mk7 does.

The Mk6 has normal wiring..."NOT" Can-Bus.

Can-Bus wasn't introduced on the Transits until April of 2006 on the Mk7...

Below is the Can-Bus system of the Mk7....none of which is in the Mk6.

that's jolly good, but you still haven't explained how you think the ecu communicates with the pump.

I'll give a clue..

Drawing and wiring is fine but it is "NOT" a proper Can-Bus....

And the Mk6 & 7 Transits don't have an ECU as such...they're called a PCM, (Powertrain Control Module).

of course it's a proper can-bus, you're too simple to understand the difference between vehicle wide and localised can-bus systems

the pcm contains the ecu according to ford but what the eff would they know

I'm done here you're a know it all retard obviously

Fine....You'll not get any help from us then.

If you know all about it, why are you asking for help..??

Don't let the door hit you in the asr$e on the way out.
