Task 

The fuel system control unit bears the internal designation FSCM-GEN4 ( uel ystem ontrol odule Generation 4).

The fuel system control unit regulates the delivery rate of the fuel pump (M3). To do so, the fuel system control unit evaluates various input signals.

Input signals via direct lines 

The fuel system control unit reads in the following signals via direct lines:

Input signals via CAN 

The fuel system control unit receives, for example, the following signals via the drive CAN (CAN C1):

The fuel system control unit evaluates all relevant input signals and actuates the fuel pump with three phase-offset AC voltage signals:

Output signals via CAN 

The fuel system control unit transmits, for example, the following signals via the drive CAN:

IMPORTANT After the fuel system control unit has been exchanged, variant coding must be carried out.

Controlling the fuel pump 

Switching on of the fuel pump takes place if the signal "fuel pump ON" is received by the fuel system control unit. This signal is transmitted redundantly from the CDI control unit (N3/9) via the drive CAN and as a direct signal.

Pressure control (engine 642, 651) 

The fuel system control unit records the current fuel pressure via the signal from the fuel pressure sensor. The fuel system control unit transmits this information to the CDI control unit. The CDI control unit evaluates the fuel pressure and the current load requirement and calculates the specified fuel pressure. The CDI control unit then transmits the specified fuel pressure to the fuel system control unit. The fuel system control unit actuates the fuel pump accordingly with three phase-offset AC voltage signals.

Volume control (engine 656) 

The CDI control unit evaluates the current load requirement and transmits a volume request to the fuel system control unit. The fuel system control unit adjusts the requested volume on the basis of an integrated characteristics map. The fuel system control unit actuates the fuel pump accordingly with three phase-offset AC voltage signals. The fuel pump pressure is regulated depending on the fuel temperature and the engine speed in the following pressure ranges:

Limp-home mode 

The fuel system control unit switches off the fuel pump under the following conditions:

Fuel tank fill level 

The fill level in the fuel tank is recorded by the fuel display fuel tank fill level sensors. The fuel system control unit reads in the signals from the fuel display fuel tank fill level sensors directly and calculates the fill level in the fuel tank. The fill level in the fuel tank is calculated as a percentage. In the case of implausible measurement values, the fuel system control unit transmits a fault message to the CDI control unit.

Tank drainage service 

The fuel tank can be emptied without the engine running. In order to do this, the tank draining service must be called up using the diagnostic tester and the following parameters must be entered:

During draining, the diagnostics tester must remain connected and the ignition must remain switched on.
