Fuel Pump Control System

Fuel Pump Control System:

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The ECU supplies the ground circuit for the fuel pump relay for a few seconds after the ignition switch is turned on. If the ECU receives a 1° signal from the crank angle sensor, that indicates that the engine is on or starting and the circuit is continuously supplied. The relay closes, providing voltage to the fuel pump. If the 1° signal is not present, indicating a stalled engine, the ECU does not supply the ground circuit thereby preventing excessive battery discharge.

Single Pole Normally Open Relay:

FUEL PUMP RELAY
The fuel pump relay, located in the relay box near the battery, allows voltage to be applied to the fuel pump. The ECU supplies the ground circuit to the relay allowing the windings to close the switch internally. Battery voltage is then applied to the fuel pump.
