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 termi-
nal).
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.

DTC No.
