Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) Applications
The FPDM communicates diagnostic information to the PCM through the FPM circuit. This information is sent by the FPDM as a duty cycle signal. The 3 duty cycle signals that may be sent are listed in the following table.
| Duty Cycle (1) | On Time (msec) | Comments | FP_M PID (2) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50% | 500 | All OK output from FPDM. With this input, the PCM can verify that the FPDM is powered and able to communicate on the FPM circuit. | 80-125% | ||||
| 25% | 250 | FPDM did not receive a fuel pump (FP) duty cycle command from the PCM, or the duty cycle that was received was invalid (refer to PCM OUTPUTSΒ , FUEL PUMPΒ ). | 15-60% | ||||
| 75% | 750 | The FPDM has detected a fault in the circuits between the fuel pump and FPDM. | 250-400% | ||||
