This distinction between “circuit” and “sensor/component” is a great help to anyone trying to diagnose a circuit malfunction code, since it narrows the list of possible causes down considerably. With “Circuit Malfunction” codes, replacement of sensors and components in the affected circuit will almost never resolve the problem, since as the code suggests, the trouble is in the circuit. “Circuit Malfunction” indicates that there is a malfunction in the control circuit, as opposed to a fault in a sensor or other component. If voltage malfunctions, it will set DTC P0230, which is defined as “Fuel Pump Relay – Circuit Malfunction.” The ECM monitors the fuel pump relay circuit for voltage. Insufficient fuel pressure can be caused by any number of electrical problems. If there is insufficient fuel pressure, the fuel injectors won’t be able to deliver fuel properly, for example. To ensure proper fuel system function, everything needs to work in concert. If the ECM detects crank but not engine starting, using the RPM signal from the crank position sensor, it will turn off the fuel pump after a set period. On some vehicles, turning the key on will turn the pump, on for a few seconds, to prime the system. The ECM grounds the fuel pump relay control or primary circuit, which then feeds power to the fuel pump using the power or secondary circuit. Usually, the fuel pump relay is commanded by the ECM.

Usually, the controller is part of the ECM (engine control module), though some vehicles, such as some diesels, may have a separate fuel injector driver module.

The fuel pump and fuel injectors are operated electrically and electronically, so there are also fuses, relays, and a controller for these.

The fuel system includes the fuel tank, a low-pressure fuel pump, sometimes a high-pressure fuel pump, fuel tubes and hoses, a fuel pressure regulator, and the fuel injectors. With regards to this DTC (diagnostic trouble code), we’ll be focusing on fuel. The internal combustion engine needs three basic things to start and run: air, fuel, and spark.
