Description and Operation

Description

Installed on top of the high pressure fuel pump, the Fuel Pressure Sensor (FPS) measures the pressure in the low pressure fuel line.

Based on the fuel pressure measured by the FPS and the fuel flow rate, the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) determines whether to activate the low pressure fuel pump.

After the low pressure fuel pump is activated, the FPS continuously feeds the fuel pressure back to the FPCM, and the FPCM continues to control the fuel flow using feedback from the FPS.

Repair Procedures

Inspection

  1. Connect the KDS to the Data Link Connector (DLC).

  2. Check the output voltage of the Fuel Pressure Sensor (FPS).

    Pressure [kPa (kgf/cm², psi)] Output Voltage (V) [Vref = 5 V]
    50 (0,51, 7,3) 0,3
    600 (6,12, 87,0) 2,5
    1100 (11,2, 159,5) 4,5

Removal

  1. Release the residual pressure in the fuel line.

    (See Fuel System - "Relieve Fuel Line Residual Pressure")

  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

  3. Remove the rear seat cushion.

    (See Body - "Rear Seat Assembly")

  4. Remove the fuel pump service cover (A) after loosening the mounting screws.

  5. Disconnect the quick-connector (A) of the fuel feed line.

  6. Remove the fuel pressure sensor lock pin (B).

  7. Remove the fuel pressure sensor from the fuel pump.

Installation

  1. Install in the reverse order of removal.
