Location 

The fuel system control unit is located under the trim of the right rear door sill.

Task 

The fuel system control unit has the internal designation FSCM-GEN4

(F  uel ystem ontrol odule GEN  eration 4. 

The FSCU controls the fuel pump according to need (M3) and transmits information about the current fuel pressure to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10).

Input and output signals 

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

Direct output signals 

CAN input signals 

CAN output signals 

Structure 

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

Function 

The function is described in 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 by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit as a CAN signal via the drive train CAN (CAN C1) and as a ground signal.

The fuel system control unit also receives the CAN signal "specified pressure of the fuel" from the ME-SFI [ME] 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 ME control unit.

The fuel system control unit evaluates the current fuel pressure, compares it with the fuel specified pressure and actuates the fuel pump appropriately by means of these phase-offset AC voltage signals in such a way that the actual value of the fuel pressure corresponds to the specified value.

The fuel pump pressure is regulated dependent on the fuel temperature and the Engine RPM between about 4.5 and a maximum of 6.7 bar.

Fill level evaluation of fuel tank 

The fuel system control unit reads in the data from the fuel tank fuel display fill level sensors for the calculation and evaluation of the fuel tank fill level.

The nominal volumes of the fuel tank, the current fill level in percent and the reserve quantity are calculated from the values measured in ohms and transmitted to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit with an appropriate signal.

Furthermore the data of the fill level sensors is checked for plausibility.

In a case of implausible measurement values a fault message is sent to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit.

Diagnosis 

The FSCU performs a self-check and component check. Detected faults are saved by the fuel system control unit and sent via the drive train CAN to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit and the powertrain control unit (N127), and also via the suspension FlexRay (Flex E) to the electronic ignition lock control unit (N73) and the diagnostic CAN (CAN D) to a connected XENTRY Diagnosis.

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 Diagnosis, and the following parameters are entered:

During draining, XENTRY Diagnosis 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.
