The known 561 failure is in grounding the pump relay coil for starting and running.

A grounded jumper wire whose free end is back-probed into Fuel Relay harness socket — so it contacts the Blue-Green wire terminal end — can sub for the normal ECU ground. If the car now starts and runs with the ground jumper in place, the ECU is failing.

Note that it's not safe to run like this. The ECU normally doesn't let fuel get pumped without "permission" from the Ignition CU — as a safety feature in case of an accident.
