Fuel Pump Monitor (FPM) - All Others: Notes
The fuel pump control module communicates diagnostic information to the PCM through the FPM circuit. This information is sent by the fuel pump control module as a duty cycle signal. The duty cycle signals that may be sent are listed in the following tables.
Fuel Pump Control Module Duty Cycle Signals (Continental 2.0L, Continental 2.7L, Continental 3.0L, Edge 2.0L, Edge 2.7L, Escape/Kuga 1.5L, Escape/Kuga 2.0L, Expedition, Explorer 2.3L, Explorer 3.5L GTDI, F-150, Fiesta 1.0L, Fiesta 1.6L GTDI, Focus, Ford GT, Fusion 1.5L, Fusion 2.0L, Fusion 2.7L, MKC, MKT 2.0L, MKX 2.0L, MKX 2.7L, MKZ, Mustang 2.3L, Navigator, Taurus 2.0L)
| Duty Cycle | Comments |
|---|---|
| 20% | This duty cycle indicates the fuel pump control module is receiving an invalid duty cycle from the PCM. |
| 60% | This duty cycle indicates the fuel pump control module is functioning normally. |
| 80% | This duty cycle indicates the fuel pump control module is detecting a concern with the secondary circuits. |
| Duty Cycle | Comments |
|---|---|
| 20% | This duty cycle indicates the fuel pump control module is receiving an invalid duty cycle from the PCM. |
| 40% | For vehicles with event notification signal, this duty cycle indicates the fuel pump control module is receiving an invalid event notification signal from the RCM. For vehicles without event notification signal, this duty cycle indicates the fuel pump control module is functioning normally. |
| 60% | For vehicles with event notification signal, this duty cycle indicates the fuel pump control module is functioning normally. |
| 80% | This duty cycle indicates the fuel pump control module is detecting a concern with the secondary circuits. |
