Low fuel pressure control 

• The low fuel pressure pump is controlled by ECM and pumps fuel according to a driving condition. The pumped fuel passes through the fuel filter and is sent to the high pressure fuel pump.
• Low fuel pressure is adjusted by the fuel pressure regulator.

High fuel pressure control 

• The high pressure fuel pump is actuated by the cam of camshaft (EXH).
• The high pressure fuel pump activates the high pressure fuel pump solenoid based on a signal received from ECM, and adjusts the amount of discharge by changing the timing of closing the inlet checkvalve to control fuel rail pressure.
