The fuel pump (electrical pump) is not running due to one of these; FP relay, inertia switch (accident causes this), faulty fuel pump. I would check the fuses to see if you have any blown. Next would be the relays in the fuse box. There should be a diagram on the inside of the fuse box. Good Luck.

the fuse 40 is the only thing that is labeled as fuel pump. nothing else, i have swapped a few relays around and that didnt' change anything. every fuse is good. I have reset the switch and nothing, i guess it will have to get towed into the dealership

P1000 is an OBD systems readiness test not complete. Recycle the key and it should be OK.

did you even check to see if the fuel pump was pumping or trying to pump? disconnect quick disconnect under the truck, attach spare line and run into a bucket. cycle key. this wont tell fuel pressure, but will tell you if it works. its an easy test.

i could hear it kick on but didn't check to see if it was pumping out. since its under warranty i am just going to let the dealership mess with it. It was blocking the garage with the only working suv we had so i had to have it towed.
