ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
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.

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
70- 90%
duty based on the current engine speed and battery volt
age.
