A Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 524/543, without the presence of a Continuous Memory DTC 556/557, indicates that during vehicle operation, one of the following has occurred:
- Open in the B(+) circuit between B(+) and the fuel pump relay.
- Fuel pump relay contacts opened.
- Open in the power-to-pump circuit from the Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM) / LFP relay to the Fuel Pump Monitor (FPM) splice.
- Left/Front Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) circuit short to power (w/dual HO2S).
- Start engine.
- Check for engine stall/stumble while performing the following (also, if possible, listen for fuel pump turning off):
- Shake, wiggle, bend the fuel pump relay B(+) circuit to the CCRM/LFP relay.
- Lightly tap the CCRM/LFP relay (to simulate road shock).
- Shake, wiggle, bend the power-to-pump circuit from the CCRM/LFP relay to the FPM splice.
