To detect atmospheric pressure, the built-in atmospheric pressure sensor in the ECM is used for the common rail system. Following the changes in the atmospheric pressure, the ECM corrects the fuel injection volume, timing and duration, and adjusts the common rail internal fuel pressure in order to optimize engine combustion.

Disconnect the E81 sensor connector.

The accelerator pedal position sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal and detects the opening angle of the accelerator pedal. Since this sensor is electronically controlled with Hall-effect elements, accurate control and reliability can be obtained. It has 2 sensors to detect both the accelerator position and a malfunction of the accelerator position sensor.

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

The EDU has been adopted to drive the injectors at high speeds. The EDU delivers high-speed drive signals under highly-pressurized fuel conditions using the DC/DC converter, which provides a high-voltage and quick-charging system.

Soon after the EDU receives an injection command (IJt) signal from the ECM, the EDU responds to the command with an injector injection confirmation (IJf) signal when the current is applied to the injector.

The ECM monitors the internal fuel pressure of the common rail using the fuel pressure sensor, and controls the suction control valve to regulate the common rail pressure to the target pressure determined by the ECM. The pressure sensor is a semiconductor that varies its electrical resistance when pressure is applied to its silicon chip. This sensor outputs a voltage in proportion to the common rail fuel pressure.

The fuel temperature sensor monitors the fuel temperature. The fuel temperature sensor has a thermistor that varies its resistance depending on the fuel temperature. When the fuel temperature is low, the resistance of the thermistor is high. When the temperature is high, the resistance is low. The variations of resistance are communicated to the ECM as changes of voltage (see Fig. 1).

When the fuel temperature is low, the resistance of the thermistor is high. When the temperature is high, the resistance is low. The variations of resistance are communicated to the ECM as changes of voltage (see Fig. 1).

The exhaust fuel addition injector is mounted on the exhaust port of the cylinder head, and low pressure is provided to the injector by the feed pump in the supply pump. This injector adds fuel by a control signal from the ECM.

This injector is used for two different controls: DPNR catalyst regeneration and nitrogen oxides (NOx) reduction.

Under the DPNR catalyst regeneration control, the injector adds fuel to raise a catalyst temperature.
