Hmm, Ford only codes. Modern OBDII systems reguire things to be monitored that were never monitored before. Thermostats or in this case fuel pressure. There is a seperate module (black box) for this purpose.

I can make a few generic comments.

Try resetting the inertia/rollover switch. Check all applicable fuses and relays for the fuel pump system. I would consider unplugging the fuel pump module and the computer and replugging them in. Be sure to ground your self before attempting this.

I have no info on running a diagnostic on the fuel pump module, probably a dealer specific test. An expensive item to simply replace. Double check the wiring for any obvious faults. I would think that once it is back online/functioning the other code will also be solved.

Good luck and let us know. :)

Suggested Repair

Reset the inertia/rollover switch, check the fuel pump fuses and relays, and reseat the fuel pump module and computer connectors after grounding yourself. Inspect the wiring for obvious faults. Module testing is typically dealer-specific, so avoid replacing the expensive module without further diagnosis.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2000 Ford Ranger 4x4 reported OBD-II messages saying the fuel pump driver module was disabled or offline and the fuel pump control was out of self-test range, listing codes 1234 and 12345. The expert said these appear to be Ford-specific monitoring codes related to fuel pressure and a separate module, and recommended checking the inertia switch, fuses, relays, connectors, and wiring before considering module replacement.
