Hello, I had a fuel pump fuse blow the other day and when I checked with ECMSPY the codes were: Fuel pump short to ground 33 3 3 VSS Short to Supply voltage 43 7 4 Anyone have any idea on what that could be or should I just look for a good repair shop in eastern CT? Thank you, | ||

Does it happen when the fuel is low and the weather gets hot? | ||

Sure... Do a "fuel pump short" or "low fuel light on" search. It should provide all sorts of info how to fix that problem. Remove the pump, fix the split/chaffed open wire by your choice of methods and replace the pump into the tank/frame. Have done it myself. Takes a while, though not too difficult. Mike | ||

No, tank was over half and temp was about 83. I Searched for fuel pump short and got 625 returns. I don't think I am getting the premature low fuel light since I can usually get about 4 gallons in it when I refuel. Did you get the same code or codes? Thanks. | ||

My 2009 XB112Ss would short only when the ambient temperature is hot (90+) and fuel is low. It happened three times. I replaced the assembly and no more blown fuse. | ||

Fern - There's...as I recall at least three wires, maybe four to get chaffed thru the insulation..! My low fuel light stayed on for 20+ thousand miles without problem..! Till the "next" wire grounded... So...you may not be safe from pulling the pump..! Mike | ||

If it happens again I will look into repairing the pump. My main concern at the moment is the VSS Short since it is now showing 20ish MPH at times when I am standing still and the fan is either reacting to that or causing it. |
