ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM 3-19
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 voltage.
CKP sensor :
Informs ECM of engine speed.
Battery voltage
Ignition switch :
Informs ECM of “START” signal.
