i had the same fault with mine and it turned out to be a broken wire to the ecu and it killed the ecu. but it could also be a direct short in one of the sensors. poss ckp

Does the pump not even prime when you turn the ignition on?

Power getting to the pump?? Wires and connections all good on the pump?

I would use the pump as a starting point, if no power is getting to that then work back from there I suppose.
