1. What Does Error Code P0627 Mean?

Error code P0627 is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects an open circuit in the fuel pump control system. The fuel pump is responsible for delivering fuel from the tank to the engine. When the circuit is open, it means the ECM cannot properly control the pump.

2. Common Causes of Error Code P0627

Several factors can lead to P0627. Here are the most common causes:

1. Faulty Fuel Pump

   • A malfunctioning fuel pump can cause the circuit to open.

2. Damaged Wiring or Connectors

   • Corroded, broken, or loose wires and connectors can disrupt the circuit.

3. Faulty Fuel Pump Relay

   • The relay may fail to provide the necessary power to the pump.

4. Issues with the ECM

   • A malfunctioning ECM may misread or fail to control the circuit.

5. Blown Fuse

   • A blown fuse in the fuel pump circuit can lead to an open circuit.
