rich Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Hello again, quick question for some people more experienced than me, hope its not been covered too many times or a silly question but here goes; ive been slowly getting a tune worked out on my wrx v9 with a g4+, and the fuel pump speeds look odd to me. little snapshot of what happens if I build a little boost with a steady throttle all the way through, it seems like duty cycle would increase with fuel demand, but I may be completely wrong. any help would be great, thanks! (added my actual map to the post,incase it helps) 57.pclr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 just for curiosity I had a play with the settings at idle, mainly by setting a really low medium speed injector duty cycle, and it seems when I request the low pump speed I end up with medium, and vice versa. is this a thing to solve or am I just distracting myself logging too much stuff? little log attached hopefully showing what I'm talking about. thanks peeps fuel pump log.llg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 There was another post about this not long ago. Link figured it is a bug if memory serves me right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 ah ok not just me then, any idea if it was Scooby related or just the g4+? ill have a trawl see if I can dig it up, found a fella with a evo 5 with some kind of pump issue but his was actually leaning out up top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Yes, there is a bug in the current firmware, it was just recently discovered. It only effects subaru's that use the 33/66/100% DC FP control mode. Basically Low speed and medium speed are swapped over. The work-around for now is to put the same vaule in the FP low>med setting as the FP Med>high setting as per the example below. This will give 66% fuel pump DC up to 20% inj DC, then switch straight to 100% Fuel pump. rich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Cool, thought it looked funky. Thanks for the reply Adam, seems a simple enough fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barge Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 I'm having a, maybe related, issue to this. Subaru STI(04) V10 PnP After seeing this post i changed my switchover points but this got me looking at the fuel pressure more closely. I tried just switching to an open loop mode to maybe bypass this bug but open loop control didn't work at all for me. With it in 33% cells i put in the pump was putting out 67%. I switched back to the 3 speed mode and now it seems to be stuck at 67% and won't change even as I change the switchover points.

Adamw Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi Barge, I just took a look at your map and run it on the simulator, it seems to work ok for me as is. 100% for first 30 seconds of run time, then drops to 67% if inj DC is less than 20%. Once I increase inj DC above 20%, fuel pump jumps up to 100%.

With it in 33% cells i put in the pump was putting out 67%. This is a bit hard to explain but what you saw here is normal as the Subarus work opposite polarity to normal. Normally in Link 100% DC on an aux ouput means 100% ground. But subaru works opposite, 100% = 12V. When you use the "3 step" FP control method we invert the output DC display in the software so it is easier to understand then 100%DC means fuel pump running at 100%. When you change to the generic open loop mode then the software displays the real DC on the output, so 0%DC displayed = fuel pump running 100% max speed. I have attached your map modified to Open loop mode to duplicate how the original Subaru control works. You can use this if you want to try.

barge Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Does changing the fuel pump mode require you to power cycle the ECU? I didn't do that when I changed it back to 3 step. I'll test it today. The inverted percentage makes a lot more sense now. Thanks for clarifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I redownloaded the latest just to make sure and i'm still getting the same message. I think I understand how to set up the open loop now based off what you've said though.

Sorry, I must have set that up in a later test software. Attached a new copy that will work on current firmware.

Drex Tim Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hi, I would to know if the software bug that was mentioned has been fixed. Another thing that I would like to ask is that the stock Subaru ecu has 2 connections to the fuel pump controller (MY2005 in my case); However, when using my G4+ storm black, it seems that I only need to wire 1 aux output to the controller and use FP speed function: is this correct? And if so, why does the stock ecu have 2 connections to the controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, see the release notes for firmware version 5.6.6.3593. The fuel pump control still actually worked correctly all the time, just the displayed duty cycle in the log didnt match what was actually happening. 23 minutes ago, Drex Tim said: Another thing that I would like to ask is that the stock Subaru ecu has 2 connections to the fuel pump controller (MY2005 in my case); However, when using my G4+ storm black, it seems that I only need to wire 1 aux output to the controller and use FP speed function: is this correct? And if so, why does the stock ecu have 2 connections to the controller? The 2nd connection from the FPC is a feedback "Pump is running signal". Im not really sure what you would need or want to use this for. Our V10 plug-in ECU's dont use it. It may be a part of some emmisions or Evap strategy in the oem ecu but im not sure.

Drex Tim Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hi Adam, I was concerned if the second ecu connection was not wired the fuel pump will not operate properly, because I could not find any information about it. Thank you very much indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
