An electronic control system supervises and governs all engine parameters to optimise performance and fuel consumption by means of a real-time response to different service conditions.Diesel engines are equipped with a COMMON RAIL type injection system.This features the use of an electronically controlled high injection pressure. The supply of fuel, known as the pilot injection, is optimized by the electronic control unit by means of the injector rather than managed by the pump.The throttle body is also controlled electronically by the control unit: the throttle opening is calculated in accordance with a specific logic inside the engine management control unit.Depending on the signals received from numerous sensors, the control unit controls the injectors connected to it managing the following systems:- fuel supply;- air supply;- heater plugs;- accelerator pedal;- engine cooling;- particle filter management.The most recent version of electronic management which includes new components and the DPF particle filter has been adopted in line with the most recent pollution control regulations.The DPF particle filter (Diesel Particulate Filter) is a mechanical filter, inserted in the exhaust pipes which traps the carbon particles present in the exhaust gases on diesel engines. The filter makes it possible to almost totally eliminate the emission of carbon particles in line with current legislation. See E5070 PARTICLE FILTER SYSTEM For more details, See descriptions 1060 DIESEL INJECTION SYSTEM The system is also controlled by dedicated relays in the engine compartment control unit. Lines supplying the control unit and various system components (sensors and actuators) are protected by dedicated fuses that are also located inside the engine compartment.
