Default P0230 Code Help??

So I have my 99 cummins and this code came up Wednesday night backing into my driveway. Got worried since it said transfer pump out of range and had read up on the code. Well I only had a small carter pump in line from previous owner and went ahead and bought a FASS system and installed it last night to ensure I dont run my VP dry with a failure.

My question, my stock lift pump is bypassed so what do I need to do to get the light to stay off? Thanks ahead of time guys

This is a electrical code that was caused by either a short in the pump or something open in the harness, you shouldn't have to do anything to keep the light off as long as the computer is seeing the right readings(ohms) assuming your using the factory harness. If the light keeps coming on good chance its not the pump since its brand new that would lead to me believe something is open in the harness. I have a excellent thread diognosing the po230 code if i can find it I'll post it up for ya

Driver side battery ground controls ECM and VP44.

Passenger Side covers the PCM.

Lift pump ground is behind the starter on the block.

Did you clear the code with a scanner and then the code came back?

????

This is everything on the PCM and the passenger side battery ground...




Now the driver side battery ground, ECM and the VP44 are tied to this ground. Also you'll see the lift pump ground is to the block at this put separate from the main grounds.
