Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not replace the fuel pump before checking the primary circuit; a relay, fuse, wiring, or control fault can prevent pump operation.
