Diag. Code 78

Fuel Pump Control Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The fuel pump speed is controlled at two steps (high speed, low speed) by the condition of the engine (starting,
light load, heavy load), when the engine starts (STA ON), the engine & ECT ECU sends a Hi signal to the fuel
pump ECU (FPC terminal).
The fuel pump ECU then outputs Hi voltage (battery voltage) to the fuel pump so that the fuel pump operates
at high speed.
After the engine starts, during idling or light loads, the engine & ECT ECU outputs a High Low signal to the fuel
pump ECU, the fuel pump ECU outputs Lo battery voltage (about 9V) to the fuel pump and causes the fuel pump
to operate at low speed.
If the intake air volume increases (high engine load), the engine & ECT ECU sends a Hi signal to the fuel pump
ECU and causes the fuel pump to operate at high speed.

Code No.
