FUEL PUMP CONTROL
M2132017500019
• A relay circuit has been added in order to supply
the power for actuating the fuel pump directly
from the battery. This system is the same as the
one used on the 2.0L engine (4G94) of the
Lancer.
• A control function has been added to change the
fuel discharge volume of the fuel pump in two
stages in accordance with the engine load. When
the load on the engine is low if the fuel consump-
tion volume is also low, this control actuates the
fuel pump at a lower speed. As a result, the fuel
return volume decreases, reducing the discharge
of fuel vapors.

DESCRIPTION OF FUEL DISCHARGE VOLUME CONTROL
When the load on the engine is low, the engine con-
trol module (ECM) turns the power transistor ON,
which causes the current to flow through the coil of
the fuel pump relay 3. Accordingly, the contacts of
the relay open, causing the current to the fuel pump
to flow via the fuel pump resistor. Because the resis-
tor drops the voltage of the current, the supply volt-
age to the fuel pump decreases. As a result, the
pump speed decreases, thus reducing the fuel dis-
charge volume of the fuel pump.
When the load on the engine is higher than the pre-
scribed value, the ECM turns OFF the power transis-
tor, which causes the contacts in fuel pump relay 3 to
close. This eliminates the voltage drop by the resis-
tor. As a result, the pump speed increases, thus
increasing the fuel discharge volume of the fuel
pump.
