Welcome to 2CarPros.

I believe you need the fuel pump relay location. This vehicle doesn't have a traditional fuel pump relay. In its place is a circuit opening relay which allows power to reach the fuel pump. I attached a schematic of the fuel pump control circuit for you to review.

Let me know if this is what you were looking for.

Take care,
Joe

Welcome back:

According to the manual, it should be in the same box as the EFI relay which is on left side of the engine compartment.

Let me know.

It's not there. I found it under the dash on driver side changed circuit open relay and EFI relay in fuse box under hood. Still no power to fuel pump.

Welcome back:

Then it seems they are getting power. The next step would be to check for power at the pump to see if it is bad.

If you have power to the pump, it should be running. Either you have a bad pump or a bad ground. Have you checked ground?

Let me know.

The yellow wire on the pump plug is the only one that has power the other three do not.

Okay. Lets start with a description of how the system works and then go backwards. When the engine is cranked, current flows from terminal ST2 of the ignition switch into the ST (starter) relay coil and current also flows into terminal STA of the ECM (STA signal).
When the STA and NE signals are received by the ECM, Tr (power transistor) is switched on, allowing current to flow into the circuit opening relay coil. The circuit opening relay switches on, power is supplied to the fuel pump and the fuel pump operates.

First, check and confirm there is a ground, and also let me know the colors of the other wires in the harness. When I look at OEM schematics, they are very difficult to follow. If you look at the one I sent, it doesn't even indicate a yellow wire.

I also need to know this. You get power to the yellow wire when the key is turned on. Does it only power for a short time? Also, are you sure the pump is good?

Welcome back:

What I am going to attach is the entire fuel pump control diagnostic flow charts. It is everything that can be a cause. Take a look through them and let me know if any of this helps.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

pic 1

When the engine is cranked, a current flows from terminal ST2 of the ignition switch into the ST (starter) relay coil and a current also flows into terminal STA of the ECM (STA signal).

When the STA and NE signals are received by the ECM, Tr (power transistor) is switched on, allowing a current to flow into the circuit opening relay coil. The circuit opening relay switches on, power is supplied to the fuel pump and the fuel pump operates.

While the NE signal is being generated (engine running), the ECM keeps Tr ON, therefore keeping the circuit opening relay ON, so that fuel pump continues to operate.
