Answer:

No.this does not cause action potential.

Explanation:

Action potential is formed from the  influx of sodium ions through the special  sodiun channels call  volatage gated channels.

The influx caused deoplarisation and if upto to  the threshold level give action potential.

The  influx of sodium and out flux at the  node of  Ranvier does not lead to action potential neither does  hydrolysis of ATPs  for its active transports process.

The sodium pump is for maintenance of  electrochemical gradients with potassium for maintaining Resting Membrane Potential of the neuron.
