Code 95 Question/help Fp Relay Wiring

outdorsman · Feb 15, 2017

Hey all, currently my car has a code 95 KOEO. I've been trying to trace down the problem for 2 weeks now. I swapped relays and they click and all. My car had been running fine and it came out of nowhere. I can hear my pump priming and I can actually drive the car fine.

I tried checking voltage on the relay wiring but it was giving me weird readings. I had to go to work so I couldn't continue on that. I will attempt again.

I found something that peaked my interest. My car is a 1987 4 cyl coupe converted to 5.0 using a 1989 wiring harness and computer. So it has a 1987 Body harness and 1989 Engine harness. The ecu already has a wire going to PIN 19 but I don't know from where, would I still need to splice into my fuel pump relay wiring and and splice into the wire going into pin 19 on the ecu? I have heard this can cause a code 95.

My code 95 only comes on when I'm driving, it will go away when you turn off the car. It won't have it for a few miles and then itll pop back up. I have swapped fuel pressure regulators and fuel pump relays.

Any other things to check? All the threads I found were dead ends where no one posts solutions.

The wire that monitors the fuel pump wasn't present in the 87-88 cars. It's usually added when these cars are Mass air swapped. Since you have a mix of harnesses, I would just run a new wire from the relay to pin 19 and call it a day.

Code 96 for 86-90 model 5.0 Mustang – KOEO- Fuel pump monitor circuit shows no power - Fuel pump relay or battery power feed was open - Power / Fuel Pump Circuits. The fuel pump lost power at some time while the ignition switch was in the run position. The main power feed to the pump is what is losing power.

Look for a failing fuel pump relay, bad connections or broken wiring. The fuel pump relay is located under the passenger seat. On Mass Air Conversions, the signal lead that tells the computer that the fuel pump has power may not have been wired correctly.
See http://www.stangnet.com/tech/maf/massairconversion.html

Look for power at the fuel pump - the fuel pump has a connector at the rear of the car with a pink/black wire and a black wire that goes to the fuel pump. The pink/black wire should be hot when the test connector is jumpered to the test position. . To trick the fuel pump into running, find the ECC test connector and jump the connector in the lower RH corner to ground.

86-90 Models:
Using the diagram, check the red/black wire from the fuel pump relay: you should see 12 volts or so. If not, check the inertia switch: on a hatch it is on the drivers side by the taillight. Look for a black rubber plug that pops out: if you don't find it, then loosen up the plastic trim. Check for voltage on both sides of the switch. If there is voltage on both sides, then check the Pink/black wire on the fuel pump relay: it is the power feed to the fuel pump. Good voltage there, then the fuel pump body to tank wiring harness connector is the likely culprit since it is getting power. No voltage there, check the Orange/Lt blue wire, it is the power feed to the fuel pump relay & has a fuse link in it. Good voltage there & at the Pink/black wire, swap the relay.

Keep in mind that the relay wiring and socket can also cause intermittent problems. Clean the relay socket with non-flammable brake parts cleaner or electrical contact cleaner. If you find damaged wiring at the relay socket, replacement pigtail socket assemblies are available at the auto parts stores. Be sure to solder the wires and cover the solder joints with heat shrink tubing if you replace the relay socket.

I'll try checking voltage again. I was getting weird readings when I tried it this morning. I tried jumping the fuel pump on and succeeded on that, i then tried to measure voltage on the pink/black wire and received no solid readings, like it kept fluctuating. I tried measuring voltage on the orange/lt blue wire and received abnormal and unstable readings. Also, would all that apply to the code 95? I ask cause you said code 96?

It just is weird to me, the 1987 mustangs did not have a Fuel Pump Monitor wire correct? So why did this code 95 take 9 months after the swap to pop up? Ill try and add the additional wire as well but I don't want to cut up my harness anymore than I have to. All i've done since this started was install some longtube headers. The car runs and drives. If they didnt have the wire then where does the wire on pin 19 on my engine harness go to?

jrichker · Feb 16, 2017

The code 95 and 96 are very similar, using the code 96 adds few extra things to check.

outdorsman · Feb 16, 2017

Losing my mind over this car. Everyone in the family detests it and wants it gone lol.

Anyway I tried checking voltage. Don't know if my meter is messed up or something but I'm not getting the 12v on any wire at all. It just gives me random numbers. TI just don't see how thats right considering the car turns on and runs, idles, everything. Just that CEL annoys the out of me because I know it may be causing a lean condition or whatever.

Just tested my meter on a wall outlet and it works. So i'm guessing my wiring is all screwed up on my car? That's all I'm really gathering

Do you have a pink/black wire connected to your fp relay?

outdorsman · Feb 16, 2017

There is a pink black wire on the fp relay, but its not like the ones ive seen having two of them coming out from the same pin. This is a 1987 Car so I know they didn't come with the FPM wire from the factory.

I just checked voltage again and I think I got the hang of it. I'm getting voltage on both sides of the inertia switch, at the orange/lt blue wire, at the pink/black wire, and at the red/black wire. So what now. It says to switch relays? I've done that and the problem still came up so I returned the relay I replaced it with.

If the lack of a fpm wire is the issue, I just dont understand why it didn't come up in the past year I've daily driven this car.

General karthief · Feb 16, 2017

Can't answer that.
89 computer will have that wire (pink/black) from relay to pin 19, 87 didn't from what I read, check to see if the p/b wire go's to the pin 19 with your tester, make sure everything is unpluged from computer and batt is disco'd
Is this mas air?

outdorsman · Feb 16, 2017

Yes Mass Air, Pro-m MAF. I used the entire 1989 engine harness for the swap and kept the 87 dash and body harness

General karthief · Feb 16, 2017

I understand the 87/89 wiring addition, what I am trying to determine is if the p/b wire from the relay is in fact connected to your computer, I understand there is a p/b wire there and it probably will need an additional wire added.
Bear with me and we will get this sorted out.

outdorsman · Feb 16, 2017

So I ran the wire and the code is still there. I also found out I had a few more codes, code 29, code 33, code 41. I took care of the 41, replaced the pass o2 sensor. code 29 is there because my longtubes melted my VSS which I will replace later. Code 33, my egr isn't hooked up.

I still have a code 67 Neutral safety switch and the code 95. I hear the code 67 is common on auto-5 spd swaps which my car is.

So i'm at a loss of what to check now. How can I trace the wire at pin 19? Would that really cause this issue?

Would this code cause any driveability issues? If not, i'ma just drive it...

General karthief · Feb 16, 2017

Let me do a little research on this, maybe consult with another member and I'll get be to you, as far as drivability, I don't know, you say it runs and drives good despite the codes so use your own judgement on that.

outdorsman · Feb 17, 2017

Just took the car for a 25 mile cruise and the engine light did not pop up anymore. I'll dump codes tomorrow morning just to check.

General karthief · Feb 17, 2017

You added that wire didn't you

a91what · Feb 17, 2017

.......

outdorsman · Feb 17, 2017

I did add the wire but the code was still popping up. I had taken it for a drive and it came up immediately even with the FPM wire. It wasn't til I fixed my o2 sensor issue that it seems I have no issues no more. Tomorrowwill be the real test, cause its raining today, so I'll be staying indoors.

outdorsman · Feb 17, 2017

And the code remains, As well as having developed code 66 and code 91 now.... I hate this car. I'll be checking it further this weekend. Last thing I need is for the MAF to be toast...

Mustang5L5 · Feb 19, 2017

If your car is a swap, verifybthe o2 sensor loop is the correct for the year of ECU and harness you have.

If you jump out the plug under the dash, and still have 67, then my bet is the wiring isn't matching up somewhere as the NSS wiring did change in 1988 and 1987s were wired differently.

You may just have to jump it out somewhere to clear the code 67 and regain idle quality

outdorsman · Feb 19, 2017

Okay so I found out if I press in the clutch the code 67 goes away. Now the only code that still remains is the code 95. I got rid of the code 66, it was pretty embarassing but I found out the MAF plug wasn't plugged in all the way. Lol my bad
