Function

Vehicles with 8-cylinder-Turbo engine possess 2 fuel pumps: The Fuel pump -G6-, which sucks in large quantities fuel. It supplies the Transfer Fuel Pump -G23-, which is responsible for the fuel pressure.

The voltage supply of the two fuel pumps is made by the Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module -J538-, which switches the heading for tension for both pumps depending upon engine requirement between 10 V and maximally the available of on-board tension. The Fuel Pump (FP) Control Module -J538- is supplied via the Fuel Pump (FP) Relay -J17- with on-board tension and connects these through directly to the pumps or reduced if necessary this tension to 10 V.

In accordance with the following condition the pumps are headed for

  1. When engine starts, the fuel pumps -G6- and -G23- are supplied briefly with full on-board tension, in order to guarantee snap pressure build-up.
  2. When driving, the fuel pumps -G6 and -G23 being supplied 10 V are operating. With exceeding of an engine fuel consumption of 90 l/h for both pumps, on-board tension are raised. When falling below a fuel consumption of 64,8 l/h the pumps are addressed with 2 seconds of delay and supplied again with 10 V.
  3. With engine running, the voltage supply of both pumps takes place for 5 seconds with on-board tension, in order to avoid bubble formation caused by vapor.
