| Control | The output circuit is switched to 12 V to activate the component. |
| Low Reference | Grounded through the control module. |
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| A7 Fuel Pump and Level Sensor Assembly | Pump Motor The fuel pump has a DC motor that is controlled by a PWM signal to achieve the desired fuel pressure. Sensor A float in the fuel tank is attached to a potentiometer-type variable resistor. The voltage drop over this resistor is used by the fuel gauge in the instrument cluster. |
| K111 Fuel Pump Driver Control Module | The control module contains a microprocessor used to process input data to control outputs. The control module communicates with the engine control module via serial data. |
When the ignition is turned On, the ECM sends a 12 V signal to the control module K111 to enable the fuel pump. If the engine is not started, the control module K111 turns the fuel pump Off after 6 s.
