Causes

  • Blown fuse for fuel pump circuit
  • Faulty fuel pump relay or control module
  • Damaged, chafed or shorted wiring in pump B control circuit
  • Corroded or loose connector at fuel pump or driver module
  • Failed fuel pump motor (internal short) or pump driver
  • Poor ground connection

Symptoms

  • Check Engine Light or MIL illuminated
  • Engine cranks but won’t start (no/low fuel pressure)
  • Intermittent or complete loss of engine power or stalling
  • Extended cranking times
  • Possible unusual battery drain or blown fuse

What to check

  • Confirm code P2633 and capture freeze-frame/occurrence data
  • Scan for additional related DTCs (fuel pump, fuel pressure, wiring)
  • Visual inspection of pump B wiring, connectors and harness for damage or corrosion
  • Check fuel pump fuse(s) and relay(s) for correct operation
  • Measure battery voltage at vehicle and at pump connector with key ON and while cranking
  • Backprobe pump control circuit and monitor voltage while PCM commands pump on

Signal parameters

  • Battery voltage at vehicle battery: ~12.4–14.5 V (engine running)
  • Expected voltage at pump positive terminal when commanded ON: near battery voltage (~11–14 V)
  • Low-circuit indication: control voltage much lower than battery (typically
  • Expected pump current draw (typical in-tank pumps): several amps (commonly 4–15 A) — refer to vehicle-spec sheet for exact value
  • Resistance of pump motor (approx): low ohms; open/high resistance indicates open circuit, very low with excessive current may indicate internal short

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Verify DTC and read freeze-frame data. Note conditions (ignition ON, cranking, speed).
  2. Inspect fuses and relays for the fuel pump circuit; replace or swap known-good relay to test.
  3. Visually inspect wiring harness from fuse/relay/PCM to pump B for damage, rubbing, or corrosion. Repair any damaged insulation or connectors.
  4. With connector exposed, backprobe the pump power and ground pins. With ignition ON and/or PCM commanding pump, measure voltage at the connector. If voltage is near battery, pump supply is OK.
  5. If voltage at connector is low (
  6. Measure pump current while commanded ON. If current is abnormally high or low, suspect pump motor or wiring fault. Apply direct 12 V to pump briefly (bench or harness) to confirm pump operation.
  7. Check ground integrity: measure resistance from pump ground to chassis/battery negative. Repair poor grounds.
  8. If wiring and pump test good, test/replace fuel pump driver module or PCM output driver according to manufacturer procedure. Reprogram/relearn if required after replacement.
  9. Clear codes and perform road/test cycle to confirm repair. Re-scan for reoccurrence and related codes.

Likely causes

  • Connector at in-tank pump corroded, causing low voltage under load
  • Control transistor in PCM/fuel pump driver shorted to ground
  • Wire insulation rubbed through and shorting to chassis ground
  • Fuse or relay contacts failed, low supply to pump when commanded
  • Pump motor drawing excessive current causing voltage drop

Fault status

⚠️ Status
PCM detected low-voltage/short-to-ground on Fuel Pump B control circuit when pump was commanded ON. Fuel delivery may be reduced or interrupted.
