Starting problem-fuel pump not purging
I currently have a problem with my SV650S.
As we all know, when you turn the ignition on, the fuel pump primes up the injection system. Currently mine is not doing so. I have checked everything that could affect this or be a contributing factor. I know the pump works and there is power going to it. Fuses are all ok as is the relay. Kill switch isn't inhibiting it and the ignition circuit is fine. What i have narrowed it down to is the ECM. The ECM is not sending the signal to the fuel relay to purge the fuel pump when the ignition is switched on. I have proved this works by bypassing the ecm when i turn the ignition on. What could it be that is preventing the ecm from sending the signal to the relay? any help, input, knowledge or pointers are gratefully received |

No, I don't lend tools.

Re: Starting problem-fuel pump not purging
If the pump and relay function, but the pump doesn't pressurise the fuel system, (what I assume you mean by 'purge'*), then have you checked the various lockout switches; sidestand, clutch, neutral? As you have probably previously noticed, there are combinations of sidestand and gear position that inhibit starting and running, if these switches and/or wiring are not working correctly you may find the problem you're experiencing.
*Unless you do mean purge, as in empty, in which case I must be mistaking the fault you're describing.

Re: Starting problem-fuel pump not purging
Does it say 'CHECK' on the dash? that would point to one of the switches Sid mentioned or the wireing connection to it.

Re: Starting problem-fuel pump not purging
Sid, yes. i have checked all the switches that would prevent the pump from pressurising
Stonesie-it does indeed cay check on the dash. my bike won;t boot up the dealer mode either so i can't see the fault code it's throwing up got it started last night and was over the moon. then soldered up the wires as a more permenant fix and now it won't start again, it won't even turn over. starter motor is refusing to budge-not seized just wont allow me to turn it over. I have checked the clutch lever switch, TOS, side stand switch, fuses, connections, all wiring. The monkey that installed the alarm completely buggered it up and wired it in completely wrong thus creating a lot of the problems i am getting. wiring being wrong and changed among other cow boy antics |

you want me to repeat this again bud? lol The starter should turn, i wouldnt point the fault towards the ECM just yet. The manual has a process for checking the starter motor too. In fact the manual has a easy to read starter circuit layout & a fuel circuit layout. Are you using the official manual? You says you got it started last night before you solderered the cables perm. Have checked the opposing ends on the cables you soldered for continuity?

Re: Starting problem-fuel pump not purging
currently looking at the electrical diagrams in a Haynes Manual
Yeah it was all checked prior to a temp fix to see if it worked, and then soldered them up Today there's nothing, check on the dash and thats it. No fuel pump pressurising, no starter motor on the button. Very frustrating |

Re: Starting problem-fuel pump not purging
dump the haynes for fault finding and grab yourself the suzuki manual for these sorts of issues it beats haynes hands down.
