P0627 on Ford by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
Improper nickel plating of internal components in the Bosch in-tank fuel pump can cause the pump to fail, letting the engine stall without warning and increasing crash risk. Ford issued NHTSA recall 15V005000 covering certain 2014-2015 Fiesta (and related Escape, Edge, Focus, Transit Connect and Lincoln MKC) vehicles built spring 2014; the recall was first announced January 2015 and later expanded April 30, 2015. Owners report intermittent no-start and stalling. Outside the recall window, general in-tank pump wear produces similar hot-restart/low-pressure symptoms.
Common Symptoms
- Engine stalls without warning while driving
- Intermittent no-start (often restarts after cooldown)
- Long crank / hard start
- Loss of power / sputtering under load
How to Fix
For affected VINs, Ford dealers replace the fuel pump free of charge under recall 15V005000 — verify the VIN via NHTSA/Ford lookup. For out-of-recall failures, replace the in-tank pump module and check the fuel pump driver module (FPDM) where fitted. Confirm fuel-rail pressure after repair.

Frequently asked questions
What does P0627 mean on a Ford?
P0627 stands for "Fuel Pump "A" Control Circuit/Open." This code means the engine computer detected an open (broken) circuit in the control wiring it uses to command the primary fuel pump, so it cannot reliably switch the pump on. The fuel pump delivers pressurized fuel to the engine, so a control-circuit problem can cause low fuel pressure, hard starting, stalling, no-start, or loss of power. Because it can leave the vehicle stranded, it should be diagnosed promptly. On Ford it is documented across 1 model: Fiesta.
What are the most common causes of P0627?
The most common causes of P0627 are: Faulty fuel pump relay or fuel pump driver module, Open, damaged, or corroded wiring in the pump control circuit, Bad electrical connector at the pump, relay, or PCM, Blown fuse in the fuel pump circuit, Failed fuel pump (internal open), Poor ground for the fuel pump circuit, PCM/ECM control driver fault (rare).
