Code 54

My 90 5.7 is showing code 54
54. Low voltage at fuel pump OR Low voltage at Fuel pump relay OR Output failure at quad driver module

It needs to crank longer then usual to start.

Looked in the service manual and not finding anything for code 54.

searched for 14103304 relay on line and not finding a new replacement to try

Found the code 54 Troubleshoot Tree

The tests indicate a faulty relay

Relay ordered and will install when it arrives

Big thanks to Tuned Performance

Re: Code 54

Relay fixed the problem.

Bought the service manual when I purchased the car new, First time I used it for a repair.
