The Fuel Pump Module Controller (FPMC) is a critical electronic component within a vehicle's fuel supply system, typically integrated with the fuel pump within a single module. It comprises an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), sensors, actuators and other elements, forming a highly integrated assembly. A typical fuel pump module comprises the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel level sensor, and the Fuel Pump Module Controller (FPMC). The FPMC manages the fuel pump's operation, being installed within or near the fuel tank. It communicates with the Engine Control Module (ECM) via wiring harnesses to achieve precise control of the fuel pump.

The FPMC's core function is to regulate the fuel pump's output pressure and flow rate according to directives from the engine control unit. Internally, it typically incorporates electronic switches, relays, and control circuits to receive signals from the ECM and drive the fuel pump motor's start/stop operations and speed modulation. Additionally, the FPMC may incorporate a fuel level sensor to monitor remaining fuel in the tank and relay this information to the ECM. Overall, the fuel pump module controller ensures stable operation of the fuel system through electronic regulation, forming an indispensable component of modern automotive fuel delivery systems.

To prolong the service life of the fuel pump module controller and ensure its reliable operation, the following maintenance practices are recommended:

• Regular fuel level checks: Maintaining sufficient fuel in the tank reduces the risk of the fuel pump running dry due to low fuel levels. When fuel approaches the minimum level, refuel promptly to prevent prolonged operation without fuel. This not only prevents fuel pump overheating but also minimises vapor lock issues caused by air ingress into the fuel lines. Regularly monitor the fuel gauge and remaining fuel level, cultivating the habit of refuelling promptly, which is crucial for protecting the fuel pump module.
• Replace the fuel filter: The fuel filter removes impurities from the fuel, preventing these contaminants from entering the fuel pump and injectors, where they could cause wear or blockages. It is advisable to replace the fuel filter regularly according to the vehicle manufacturer's maintenance manual, typically every specified mileage (e.g., 16,000 kilometres or 2 years). When replacing the filter, select a high-quality filter that meets the vehicle's specifications and ensure it is installed correctly to maintain the cleanliness of the fuel supply system. Good fuel cleanliness helps extend the service life of the fuel pump and injectors, reducing the likelihood of faults caused by contaminants.
• Inspect wiring harnesses and electrical connections: Periodically examine the wiring harness connectors and electrical connections of the fuel pump module for looseness or corrosion. As the fuel pump module is typically housed within the fuel tank, prolonged exposure to a humid environment can cause wiring terminals to oxidise or become loose. Clean connectors using a soft, clean cloth and compressed air, inspecting contact points for rust or oxidation layers, and ensure connectors are firmly seated. If necessary, apply a small amount of electrical contact preservative to prevent further corrosion. Regular maintenance of wiring connections helps avoid fuel pump malfunctions caused by poor contact, enhancing system reliability.
• Avoid frequent rapid acceleration and prolonged high-speed driving: Sudden acceleration and extended high-speed operation increase the fuel pump's workload and operating temperature. To reduce strain on the fuel pump, drive as smoothly as possible, avoiding abrupt heavy throttle application and prolonged high-speed cruising. This is particularly important during hot summer weather. If high-speed driving is unavoidable, control speed and throttle appropriately to prevent the fuel pump from operating continuously at high RPM. Additionally, during long journeys, take regular breaks to allow the vehicle and fuel pump to cool, preventing overheating. Adopting sensible driving habits reduces wear and overheating risks for the fuel pump module.
• Regular Maintenance and Inspection: Include inspection of the fuel pump module in routine vehicle servicing. Address any abnormal signs promptly, such as fuel leaks or ageing wiring harnesses. For vehicles with high mileage or extended service life, consider assessing the fuel pump's operational status during servicing, conducting pressure tests or replacement as necessary. Regular servicing not only identifies potential fuel pump module issues early but also ensures the proper functioning of other related components (such as the fuel filter and injectors), thereby safeguarding the reliability of the entire fuel supply system.

Implementing the above maintenance and servicing measures can effectively extend the service life of the fuel pump module controller and reduce the likelihood of faults occurring. Good maintenance practices not only contribute to the long-term stable operation of the vehicle but also enhance driving safety and fuel economy.
