Task 

The fuel pump control modules are designated internally as FSCM DECOS (Fuel System Control Modul DECOS).

The LH fuel pump control unit controls the LH fuel pump (M3/2) and the RH fuel pump control unit controls the RH fuel pump (M3), according to requirements.

Input and output signals 

The fuel pump control units evaluate the following input signals and send the corresponding output signals:

Direct input signals 

Direct output signals 

CAN input signals 

CAN output signals 

Design 

Each fuel pump control unit consists of a plastic housing with two plug couplings and internal measurement and control electronics.

Function 

The ME-SFI control unit registers the current fuel pressure using the fuel pressure sensor (B4/15). To control the fuel pumps, the ME-SFI control unit evaluates the fuel pressure and required load and sends the "specified fuel pressure" PWM signal (with a duty cycle of 10 to 90 %) to the fuel pump control units. These evaluate the PWM signal and actuate the fuel pumps with a PWM signal as

The function is described at the following points:

Fuel pump control 

The fuel supply is controlled and monitored by the ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) and the LH and RH fuel pump control units.

The fuel pumps are switched on if the fuel pump control units receive the "Fuel pump ON" ground signal from the ME-SFI control unit.

required, so that the actual fuel pressure value corresponds to the specified value.

Depending on the fuel requirement, fuel pressure is varied between 3.0 and 4.8 bar. The fuel pumps are actuated independently of each other.

Emergency running 

Coding 

Since the two fuel pump control units are identical in construction, they must be coded differently. For its coding, the RH fuel pump control unit is given a coding link between PIN 6 and PIN 7.

Tank-draining function 

The fuel tank can be drained using the fuel pump control units without the engine running. To do this, the tank 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.

Diagnosis 

The fuel pump control units carry out a self-test and a component test. Recognized errors are stored by the fuel pump control unit and sent to the Xentry diagnostics via the diagnostic CAN (CAN D) to the ME-SFI control unit over the drive train CAN (CAN C).

Variants 

The vehicle and engine variants are already stored in the fuel pump control units. If a fuel pump control unit is replaced, it must be given the variant coding.
