The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the fuel system while the vehicle is operating on CNG. A high pressure lock-off (HPL) solenoid in each CNG tank and a low pressure lock-off (LPL) solenoid in the fuel rail prevent fuel flow. The PCM commands ONLY the HPL's open for 1 second at every ignition ON for a CNG prime pulse. The CNG prime pulse is performed in order to charge the fuel line and also allows the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor to monitor the amount of fuel pressure in the tanks. The PCM commands BOTH the HPL and the LPL open when engine RPM indicates the engine is cranking or running on CNG.
The lock-off relay's coil and switch are supplied power whenever the ignition is in the Start or Run position. The PCM controls the ground path. When the lock-off relay's are energized they supply power to the high pressure lock-off (HPL) solenoid and the low pressure lock-off (LPL) solenoid.
