Hi

I had the same problem with my 940 B200F engine. Kept getting the 231 code on the diagnostic.
A month ago i went down the shops. When I got back to the car, it wouldn't start.

I couldn't hear the fuel pump run when I turned the key, so i ripped off the fuse box cover by the gearstick and tapped the fuel pump relay (the white one one the left, behind the little ones at the front) and the pump kicked in.

So when i got home I took the relay out, took the cover off and inspected the solder joints. Some of them had gone dry (around the joint there's a hairline crack) so I resoldered every joint and put it back.

I've had no problems yet, and the other day I checked the diagnostic codes and it comes back 111 (no problems).

I looked at a supplier for a pump relay and found the cheapest was £15. To fix it only cost me a bit of solder and the electricity to power the soldering iron perhaps about 40pence. Not a bad difference for a hairline crack!!!!

So check your relays, and look very closely at the solder joints, it saved me a few quid!!!!!!!
