Fuel injection system

The Common Rail systems makes it possible to carry out a pre-injection before T.D.C. with the advantage of reducing the derivative of the pressure in the combustion chamber, reducing the value of the combustion noise, typical of direct injection engines.The control unit controls the quantity of fuel injected, regulating the line pressure and injection times.

The control unit processes the following information to control the quantity of fuel to inject:

  • engine rpm;
  • coolant temperature;
  • turbocharging pressure;
  • air temperature;
  • intake air quantity;
  • battery voltage;
  • diesel pressure;
  • accelerator pedal position.

System operating modes

Self-diagnosis

The control unit's self-test checks the signals coming from the sensors, comparing them with the permitted limits:

Indication of faults upon start-up:

  • warning light for 4 s indicates test stage;
  • warning light off after 4 s indicates no faults in components that could affect the values established in emission control regulations;
  • warning light on after 4 s indicates fault.

Fault indication during operation:

  • warning light on indicates fault;
  • warning light off indicates no faults in components that could affect the values established in emission control regulations

Recovery:

  • from time to time, the control unit defines the type of recovery according to the components which are faulty;
  • the recovery parameters are managed by non-faulty components.

Recognition of fiat code

When the control unit receives the ignition 'ON' signal, it communicates with the body computer to obtain starting enablement.

Control of the fuel temperature

With the temperature of the fuel 110°C, measured by the sensor on the fuel filter casing cover, the control unit operates the pressure regulator in order to reduce the line pressure (it does not modify the injection times).

Control of the engine coolant temperature

With the temperature of the engine coolant greater than 105°C, the control unit:

  • reduces the quantity of fuel injected (reduces the engine power);
  • operates the cooling fans;
  • lights up the coolant overheating warning light.

Intake valve control

The control unit supplies the valve control solenoid when the engine is turned off. This causes closure of the throttle valve on the intake duct and cuts of the flow of air to the cylinders.

Control of the quantity of fuel injected

On the basis of the signals coming from the sensors and the values in the map, the control unit:

  • operates the pressure regulator;
  • varies the 'pilot' injection time up to 3000 rpm;
  • varies the 'main' injection time.

Control of the idle speed

The control unit processes the signals coming from the various sensors and regulates the quantity of fuel injected:

  • it operates the pressure regulator;
  • it varies the injector injection time.
Within certain limits the speed takes the battery voltage into account.

Fuel cut-off during overrunning

When the accelerator pedal is released the following logics are implemented:

  • it cuts off the supply to the fuel injectors;
  • it partially reactivates the supply to the injectors before the idle speed is reached;
  • it operates the fuel pressure regulator.

Control of the cylinder balance during idling

On the basis of the signals received from the sensors, the control unit controls the precision of the torque at idle speed:

  • it varies the quantity of fuel injected in the individual injectors (injection time).

Control of irregular operation

The control unit processes the signals received from the various sensors and determines the quantity of fuel to be injected via:

  • the pressure regulator;
  • the opening time of the injectors.

Control of the exhaust fumes during acceleration

When there is considerable acceleration, the control unit determines the optimum quantity of fuel to be injected, on the basis of the signals received from the flow meter and engine rpm sensor:

  • it operates the pressure regulator;
  • it varies the injector injection time.

Control of the exhaust gas recirculation (e.g.r.)

On the basis of the engine load and signal coming from the accelerator pedal potentiometer, the control unit restricts the amount of air drawn in, implementing the partial intake of exhaust gases.

Eobd (european on board diagnosis) system

The implementation of the EOBD function is managed by the engine management control unit which manages the yellow warning light for the engine management system (EOBD) as described below.The warning light is activated on request by the engine control unit for about 4 seconds (check) when the ignition key is turned to 'MAR'.The EOBD system carries out continuous diagnosis of the car's petrol fuel system components relating to emissions and indicates any deterioration of these components by the warning light in the instrument panel coming on.

The aim of the system is:

  • to monitor the efficiency of the system;
  • to signal an increase in emissions due to a vehicle malfunction;
  • to signal the need to replace deteriorated components.
Prompt repair of the problem which has caused the warning light to come on is vital in accordance with the legal requirements of the traffic regulations of the country in question.

Control of the maximum torque restriction

According to the number of revs, the control unit calculates the following from predefined maps:

  • the torque limit;
  • the permissible fumes (limit).

It compares these minimum values and corrects them with other parameters:

  • coolant temperature;
  • engine rpm;
  • vehicle speed;
and controls the quantity of fuel to be injected (pressure regulator - injectors).

Control of the maximum speed limit

According to the number of revs, the control unit implements two intervention strategies:

  • at 5000 rpm it cuts off the fuel, reducing the line pressure;
  • above 5400 rpm it deactivates the auxiliary pump and the injectors.

Control of the heater plugs

The control unit, during the following stages:

  • starting;
  • post-starting;
the engine management control unit times the operation of the heater plugs control unit according to the engine temperature.

Control of entry into operation of the air conditioning system

The control unit operates the air conditioning compressor:

  • switching it on/off when the relevant switch is pressed;
  • switching it off momentarily (for around 6 s) if there is substantial acceleration or a request for maximum power.

Control of the auxiliary electric fuel pump

Irrespective of the engine speed, the control unit:

  • supplies the auxiliary fuel pump with the ignition key in the ON position;
  • excludes the auxiliary pump supply if the engine is not started up within a few seconds.

Control of the position of the cylinders

During each revolution of the engine, the control unit recognizes which cylinder is in the explosion stroke and operates the injection sequence at the appropriate cylinder.

Control of the main and operated injection advance

On the basis of the signals coming from the various sensors, including the absolute pressure sensor in the actual control unit, the control unit determines the optimum injection point according to an internal map.

Control of closed loop injection pressure

On the basis of the engine load, determined by processing the signals coming from the various sensors, the control unit operates the regulator to obtain optimum line pressure.

Control of the electrical balance

According to the battery voltage, the control unit varies the idle speed:

  • it increases the injector injection time;
  • it regulates the line pressure.

Control of the turbocharging pressure
