P0232 on Chrysler
Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit - High
P0232 on Chrysler vehicles indicates fuel pump secondary circuit - high. Au7o has documented this code across 4 Chrysler models — most commonly on 300, Aspen, Sebring. This code means the engine computer has detected a high voltage signal in the fuel pump secondary (control) circuit, indicating the circuit that drives or monitors the fuel pump relay is reading higher than it should. The computer controls fuel pump power delivery through a relay and/or driver module, and a high reading suggests a short to voltage, a stuck relay, or a wiring fault in that control circuit. Depending on the fault, it can cause hard starting, stalling, or a no-start because fuel delivery is disrupted. The problem is typically electrical, in the relay, driver, or wiring, rather than the pump motor itself. Typical repair costs on Chrysler range from $50 to $1,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0232
- •Faulty fuel pump relay (stuck or shorted)
- •Short to voltage in the fuel pump control wiring
- •Failed fuel pump driver module
- •Corroded or damaged connectors in the circuit
- •Faulty fuel pump (internal short)
- •Wiring chafed against the body or harness short
- •Faulty PCM/ECM (rare)
P0232 on Chrysler by Model
Chrysler 300(2 issues)
- TIPM Electrical Failures2011-2016
The TIPM main fuse and relay box circuit board traces blow from current spikes, shorts, or corrosion. Water intrusion common. Causes random electrical issues affecting fuel pump, lights, wipers, horn, windows, and safety systems.
- Fuel Pump Relay Failure (TIPM-Related)2011-2016
Fuel pump relay inside TIPM fails, preventing fuel pump activation. Vehicle has full electrical power but won't start due to no fuel delivery. Related to broader TIPM issue, specifically affects ASD/Fuel Pump relay circuits.
Chrysler Aspen(1 issue)
- TIPM Electrical Module Failure2007-2009
The Aspen shares the TIPM electrical module design with other Chrysler products. Fuel pump relay failure, random electrical activation, and battery drain are common. Same fundamental TIPM design flaw as Town & Country and 300.
Chrysler Sebring(1 issue)
- TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) Failure2007-2010
The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), located in the engine compartment near the air cleaner assembly, houses all important fuses and power relays. Water intrusion into the module can cause corrosion and electrical system failures. The TIPM controls critical systems including fuel pump operation, headlights, airbags, door locks, and air conditioning.
Chrysler Town & Country(1 issue)
- TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) Failure2008-2016
The TIPM central fuse/relay box controls nearly all vehicle electrical functions. Internal relays, especially the fuel pump relay, fail due to solder joint cracking from thermal cycling. Causes random activation of lights, wipers, horn, sliding doors losing power, battery drain, and no-start conditions. Class-action lawsuit filed. Most severe in 2008 and 2010-2011 model years.

What does P0232 mean on Chrysler?▼
P0232 stands for "Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit - High." This code means the engine computer has detected a high voltage signal in the fuel pump secondary (control) circuit, indicating the circuit that drives or monitors the fuel pump relay is reading higher than it should. The computer controls fuel pump power delivery through a relay and/or driver module, and a high reading suggests a short to voltage, a stuck relay, or a wiring fault in that control circuit. Depending on the fault, it can cause hard starting, stalling, or a no-start because fuel delivery is disrupted. The problem is typically electrical, in the relay, driver, or wiring, rather than the pump motor itself. On Chrysler specifically, this code is documented across 4 models.
What causes P0232 on Chrysler vehicles?▼
Common causes on Chrysler: Faulty fuel pump relay (stuck or shorted), Short to voltage in the fuel pump control wiring, Failed fuel pump driver module, Corroded or damaged connectors in the circuit, Faulty fuel pump (internal short). Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
