Fuel Pump Control Circuit [07/2015 - ]: Description

When the engine is cranked, the start request signal output from the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly is input to the ECM, and the NE signal generated by the crankshaft position sensor is also input to the NE+ terminal. Thus, the ECM interprets that the engine has been cranked, and turns transistor Tr1 in the ECM internal circuit on. Current flows to the C/OPN (Circuit Opening) relay by turning Tr1 on. Then, the fuel pump operates.

While the NE signal is input to the ECM with the engine running, the ECM turns Tr1 on continuously.
