Fuel Pump Control
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2015 Lincoln Navigator, 2015 Lincoln MKZ, 2015 Lincoln MKX, 2015 Lincoln MKT, and 2015 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The FP signal is a duty cycle command sent from the PCM to the fuel pump control module. The fuel pump control module uses the FP command to operate the fuel pump at the speed requested by the PCM or to turn the fuel pump OFF. A valid duty cycle to command the fuel pump ON, is in the range of 15-47%. The fuel pump control module doubles the received duty cycle and provides this voltage to the fuel pump as a percent of the battery voltage. When the ignition is turned ON, the fuel pump runs for about 1 second and is requested OFF by the PCM if engine rotation is not detected.
FUEL PUMP DUTY CYCLE OUTPUT FROM PCM DESCRIPTION (FOCUS 2.0L GDI)
| FP Duty Cycle Command | PCM Status | Fuel Pump Control Module Actions |
|---|---|---|
| 0-4% | Valid OFF duty cycle. | The fuel pump control module sends a 60% duty cycle signal on the FPM circuit. The fuel pump is OFF. |
| 4-18% | Invalid OFF duty cycle. | The fuel pump control module sends a 20% duty cycle signal on the FPM circuit. The fuel pump is OFF. |
| 18-80% | Normal operation. | The fuel pump control module operates the fuel pump at the speed requested. FP duty cycle times 1.43 minus 14.29 equals pump speed % of full ON. For example, FP duty cycle equals 42%. 42 times 1.43 minus 14.29 equals 46 (rounded). Pump is run at 46% of full ON. The fuel pump control module sends a 60% duty cycle signal on the FPM circuit. |
| 80-86% | Normal operation. | The fuel pump control module operates the fuel pump at full ON. The fuel pump control module sends a 60% duty cycle signal on the FPM circuit. |
| 86-95% | Invalid OFF duty cycle. | The fuel pump control module sends a 20% duty cycle signal on the FPM circuit. The fuel pump is OFF. |
| 95-100% | Valid OFF duty cycle. | The fuel pump control module sends a 60% duty cycle signal on the FPM circuit. The fuel pump is OFF. |
FUEL PUMP DUTY CYCLE OUTPUT FROM PCM DESCRIPTION
| FP Duty Cycle Command | PCM Status | Fuel Pump Control Module Actions |
|---|---|---|
| 0-5% | Invalid OFF duty cycle. | The fuel pump control module sends a 20% duty cycle signal on the FPM circuit. The fuel pump is OFF. |
| 5-47% | Normal operation. | The fuel pump control module operates the fuel pump at the speed requested. FP duty cycle times 1.43 minus 14.29 equals pump speed % of full ON. For example, FP duty cycle equals 42%. 42 times 1.43 minus 14.29 equals 46 (rounded). Pump is run at 46% of full ON. The fuel pump control module sends a 60% duty cycle signal on the FPM circuit. |
| 47-51% | Normal operation - full ON. | The fuel pump control module operates the fuel pump at full ON. The fuel pump control module sends a 60% duty cycle signal on the FPM circuit. |
| 51-67% | Invalid OFF duty cycle. | The fuel pump control module sends a 20% duty cycle signal on the FPM circuit. The fuel pump is OFF. |
| 67-83% | Valid OFF duty cycle. | The fuel pump control module sends a 60% duty cycle signal on the FPM circuit. The fuel pump is OFF. |
| 83-100% | Invalid OFF duty cycle. | The fuel pump control module sends a 20% duty cycle signal on the FPM circuit. The fuel pump is OFF. |
