Check the relay under the hood "Fuel pump Relay" Drivers side

When this relay is missing or broken the VP44 doesn't energize nor pump fuel. It allows you to do the cranking test. But it also sets a P1689 and CEL light. So for all of you that have a P1689 error code present check your fuel pump relay first by trading with another relay!

P1689 (M) No Communication Between ECM
and Injection Pump Module
Data link circuit failure between ECM and fuel injection
pump. Low power, engine derated, or engine stops.
Could be any number of things, and it could be a fluke. Try resetting it, and see if it comes back...
