What prompted this manufacturer document
- Cranks but will not start
- Stalling or loss of RPM
- Several fuel/injector-associated codes
- The relocation-kit route requires excessive heat at the F27 20-amp terminal in the battery junction box, not simply a fuel-system code.
Which vehicle conditions must be checked
Each row below retains its own conditions. Do not combine engines, years or models across rows to create new applications. A listed model is not proof that a particular VIN is affected.

- Stall/no-start circumstances
- Saved code report
- Any heat or burning smell; observe only when safe
Editorial safety boundary for this system
Smoke, hot wiring, melted fuse area, stalling or loss of vehicle control requires stopping and assistance.
- Use current model-specific service information, calibrated equipment and a qualified technician for the selected diagnostic branch.
- Do not bridge fuses, increase fuse rating, probe unknown high-current circuits, or permanently disable telematics.
This is a conservative editorial policy, not a manufacturer safe-to-drive decision for a specific vehicle.
What the source does not prove
- Do not bridge a fuse, install a higher rating, or buy a fuel pump before verifying its supply circuit.
- A code or message alone does not establish a failed part, a safe-to-drive decision or an approved repair for this VIN.
- A service bulletin is not automatically a recall or free warranty repair. Confirm current eligibility directly.
Questions for the repair shop
- Which current manufacturer procedure, VIN/RPO/build gate and test result determine the diagnostic branch?
- Does a later revision or a current recall change the source's original advice?
- What measurement or inspection confirms the cause, and how will the repair be verified?
