Fuel pump cycles every 10 seconds?

Just got back from the dealer for my 2nd inspection and had software 37.7 loaded. Something new is happening now and I'd like to know if its normal. The fuel pump turns on for about 2 seconds ever 10-15 seconds. This happens with the key in the on position (cycles start after the initial fuel pump priming) and when the car is running. So those with 37.1 - is this normal? the dealer says that they THINK it is but are not sure. Thanks - Tom

Maybe I should be more specific. Would a fellow MCS motorer with v.37 please do the following.

1) turn your key to the on position
2) let the fuel pump and all the other accessories power up then sit there for 30 seconds and listen.

Do you hear the fuel pump turning on & off? every 10-15 seconds mine turn on for 1-2 seconds and this continues for as long as I sit there. Also happens when the car is running.

Thanks
