GENERAL INFORMATION


The common rail fuel Injection system consists of sensors which detect the condition of the diesel engine, an engine electronic control unit (engine-ECU) which controls the system based on signals from these sensors, and actuators which operate according to control commands from the engine-ECU. The engine-ECU carries out activities such as fuel injection control and idle speed control. In addition, the engine-ECU is equipped with several self-diagnosis functions which make troubleshooting easier in the event that a problem develops.


FUEL INJECTION CONTROL


The injector drive time, the injection timing and the fuel pressure are controlled so that the appropriate quantities of fuel are supplied to the engine in response to engine conditions which can change frequently. A single injector is mounted at each cylinder. The supply pump increases the fuel pressure to the pressure which is required for high-pressure injection, and then send the fuel each injector.

IDLE SPEED CONTROL


The idle speed is kept at the optimum speed by controlling the fuel injection quantity in accordance with changes in idling conditions and engine load during idling.
The engine-ECU drives the fuel injector to keep the engine running at the pre-set idle target speed in accordance with the engine coolant temperature and A/C and other electrical load.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION




OTHER CONTROL FUNCTIONS



  1. Power Supply Control
    When the ignition switch ON signal is input by the ignition switch, the engine-ECU turns ON the power transistor for controlling the engine control relay. As a result, current flows through the coil in the engine control relay, causing the relay switch to turn ON and supply power to the sensors and actuators.
  2. Glow Control
    Refer to GROUP 16
    (Refer to , GROUP 16 - Glow System).
  3. Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control
    Refer to GROUP 17
    [Refer to , GROUP 17 - Engine And Emission Control - Exhaust Gas Recirculation System].
  4. A/C Relay Control
    Turns the compressor clutch of the A/C ON and OFF.
  5. A/C Condenser Fan Motor Relay Control
    Controls the condenser fan motor relay based on the A/C switch , A/C load signal, engine coolant temperature and vehicle speed input signals.
  6. PTC Heater Relay Control
    The PTC heater is turned ON in accordance with the A/C operation at the engine cold state.
