P0232

Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit High

Moderate severity

What it means

The voltage on the secondary side of the fuel pump circuit is higher than expected. Typical of a stuck relay or short to supply voltage that keeps the pump powered when it should be off.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Pump relay stuck closed

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Wire shorted to supply voltage

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
