System Description

ECM INPUT SIGNAL CHART

Sensor Input Signal to ECM ECM function Actuator
Crankshaft position sensor (POS)
Camshaft position sensor (PHASE)
Engine speed(1) Fuel pump control Fuel pump control module (FPCM)
Mass air flow sensor Amount of intake air
Engine coolant temperature sensor Engine coolant temperature
Battery Battery voltage(1)
(1) ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.

This system controls the fuel pump operation. The amount of fuel flow delivered from the fuel pump is altered between two flow rates by the FPCM operation. The FPCM determines the voltage supplied to the fuel pump (and therefore fuel flow) according to the following conditions.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE CHART

Conditions Amount of fuel flow Supplied voltage
  • Engine cranking
  • Engine coolant temperature is below 10°C (50°F).
  • Engine is running under heavy load and high speed conditions
high Battery voltage (11 - 14 V)
Except the above low Approximately 8 V
