FUEL PUMP CONTROL SYSTEM
OUTLINE
To supply the optimum fuel amount, the ECM controls the fuel pump drive duty cycle, a repeated ON / OFF
signal, at a specified rate (1000 times a second).
Based on engine speed and battery voltage, the ECM determines the optimum duty (repeating "ON" time
rate within a cycle) and sends this signal to the fuel pump.
CKP sensor:
Informs ECM of engine speed.
Battery voltage:
Ignition switch:
Informs ECM of "START" signal.

CONTROL MODE
BEFORE START:
For 3 seconds after ignition switch is turned "ON", the pump is controlled to operate at 100% duty in order to
initially pressurize the high pressure line.
WHEN CRANKING:
The pump is controlled to operate at 100% duty.
WHEN RUNNING (NORMAL OPERATION):
The pump is controlled to operate at 60 – 100% duty based on the current engine speed and battery voltage.
