Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) Applications

2005 Ford Econoline E150, Van Cargo, 5.4 LSECTION Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) Applications
NOTE: The Ford GT uses 2 FPDMs to control fuel for the dual-injection fuel delivery system. The PCM will individually monitor both FPDMs through their FPM circuits.

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.

FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE DUTY CYCLE SIGNALS

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 OUTPUTS , FUEL PUMP ). 15-60%
75% 750 The FPDM has detected a fault in the circuits between the fuel pump and FPDM. 250-400%
(1) If a duty cycle meter and breakout box is used, be aware that these values may be reversed depending on the trigger setting of the specific meter (for example, 25% from FPDM may read as 75% on duty cycle meter depending on trigger setting).
(2) Some diagnostic tools will display the FP_M PID as the duty cycle in column 1. Other diagnostic tools will display the FP_M PID as a value shown in the FP_M PID column. This value will fluctuate randomly. It is OK for the value to briefly go outside this range, then return.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
