Location 

The fuel system control unit is located on the right below the rear seat.

Task 

The fuel system control unit is supplied by the "Continental Automotive GmbH" company and bears the internal designation FSCM-light ( uel ystem ontrol odule-light).

The fuel system control unit regulates the fuel pump (M3) in accordance with requirements and transmits information about the current fuel pressure to the CDI control unit (N3/9).

Input and output signals 

The following input signals are evaluated by the FSCU and the respective output signal is issued:

Direct input signals 

Direct output signals 

CAN input signals 

CAN output signals 

Body 

The fuel system control unit consists of a plastic housing with two plug connections and internal measuring and control electronics.

Function 

The function description is subdivided into the following points:

Controlling the fuel pump 

Switching on of the fuel pump takes place if a "fuel pump ON" signal is received by the FSCU. This signal is sent redundantly from the CDI control unit as a CAN signal via the drive train CAN (CAN C) and as a ground signal.

The fuel system control unit also receives the CAN signal "fuel requirements" from the CDI control unit.

The fuel system control unit detects the current fuel pressure by means of a voltage signal from the fuel pressure sensor and transmits this information via the drive train CAN to the CDI control unit.

The fuel system control unit evaluates the current fuel pressure, compares it with the specified fuel pressure and actuates the fuel pump accordingly by means of a pulse width modulated signal in such a way that the actual value corresponds to the specified value.

Depending on the fuel requirements, fuel pressure is varied from about 4.0 bar.

Fuel system control unit limp-home mode 

Diagnosis 

The FSCU performs am own and component check.

Recognized faults are stored by the FSCU and made available via the drive train CAN to the CDI control unit and additionally via the diagnostic CAN (CAN D) to attached diagnostic equipment.

Tank drainage service 

The fuel tank can be emptied over the FSCU without the engine running.

To do this, the container draining function is selected using Xentry Diagnostics, and the following parameters are entered:

During draining, Xentry Diagnostics must remain connected and the ignition must remain switched on.

Variants 

The vehicle and engine variants are already stored in the FSCU. After replacement of the FSCU a variant coding must be carried out.
