Fuel Pump Driver Module
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) is located behind the rear left wheel. The FPDM is attached to a bracket and secured by two nuts. The bracket is secured to the rear left side member reinforcement panel.
The fuel pump operation is regulated by the FPDM. The FPDM is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) using a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) output signal.
The FPDM has a switched power supply from the fuel pump relay, located in the Battery Junction Box (BJB).
The following conditions will energize the fuel pump relay:
- Opening the driver door.
- Operating the ignition switch.
- Operating the ignition switch with applied brakes - Engine crank.
The FPDM supplies power to the fuel pump via hardwired connections. The FPDM adjusts the power to control the speed of the fuel pump, thus the fuel pressure and flow in the fuel delivery line.
