Diag. Code 78Fuel Pump Control Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump speed is controlled at two steps (high speed, low speed) by\
the condition of the engine (starting,
light load, heavy load), when the engine starts (STA ON), the engine & ECT ECU sends a Hi signal to the fuel
pump ECU (FPC terminal).
The fuel pump ECU then outputs Hi voltage (battery voltage) to the fuel p\
ump so that the fuel pump operates
at high speed.
After the engine starts, during idling or light loads, the engine & ECT ECU o\
utputs a High Low signal to the fuel
pump ECU, the fuel pump ECU outputs Lo battery voltage (about 9V) to the f\
uel pump and causes the fuel pump
to operate at low speed.
If the intake air volume increases (high engine load), the engine & ECT \
ECU sends a Hi signal to the fuel pump
ECU and causes the fuel pump to operate at high speed.

Diag. Code 51Switch Condition Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Neutral Start Switch Signal
The ECU uses the signals from the neutral start switch to determine whether\
the transmission is in park or neu-
tral, or in some other gear.
Air Conditioner Switch Signal
The ECU uses the output from the air conditioner switch to determine whethe\
r or not the air conditioner is operat-
ing so that it can increase the idling speed of the engine if necessary.
Throttle Position Sensor IDL Signal
The IDL contacts are mounted in the throttle position sensor, and detects the idle condition.
