If any code is PRESENT, it needs to be addressed. To read and clear codes from the fuel pump module, you will need a BMW scanner. If you are experiencing problems, a good starting point is to read fault codes from the EKPS module. Waiting a few minutes will often allow you to restart the engine. In some cases, the engine may start but shake then cut off. List of possible symptoms you may notice if the EKPS module or one of its components fails. Many BMW owners have successfully swapped their EKPS module with a used one without programming it as long as the used unit is from a similar BMW model and engine. When replacing the EKPS module, it is required the new EKPS module is programmed (coded) to the car. The EKPS control module then activates the fuel pump according to the engine speed. The EKPS control module converts this request into a corresponding engine speed for the fuel pump in the fuel tank. The engine management system sends the request for the fuel required at the moment to the EKPS control module. EKPS units are generally installed in the trunk (side panel) or under the rear seat while the fuel pump is mounted on top of the fuel tank.

The EKPS control unit is different from the fuel pump. The electronic fuel pump control module (EKPS | EKP ) controls the fuel pump. You will learn what the EKPS module is, what systems it covers, and how to read/clear codes from the EKPS module.

We look at how to troubleshoot the EKPS module using a BMW diagnostic scanner.
