P0232 on Nissan
Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit - High
P0232 on Nissan vehicles indicates fuel pump secondary circuit - high. Au7o has documented this code across 3 Nissan models — most commonly on Altima, Rogue, Versa. 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.
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 Nissan by Model
Nissan Altima(1 issue)
- Fuel Pump Failure (Recall)2019-2021
Nissan issued a recall for fuel pump issues that can cause engine stalling or failure to start. The fuel pump impeller may deform, causing fuel delivery problems. This affects multiple Nissan models.
Nissan Rogue(1 issue)
- Fuel Pump Failure (Recall)2017-2020
Nissan issued a recall for fuel pump issues that can cause engine stalling or failure to start. The fuel pump impeller may deform, causing reduced fuel delivery. This affects multiple Nissan models.
Nissan Versa(1 issue)
- Fuel Pump Control Module Failure2020-2023
The 2020-2023 Versa (and many other Nissan models) is affected by fuel pump issues where the fuel pump can stop operating, causing engine stall. This was addressed under multiple recalls including NHTSA Campaign 21V-560. The fuel pump impeller can deform, reducing fuel delivery and causing stalling or no-start conditions.

What does P0232 mean on Nissan?▼
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.
