The control unit autodiagnostic system checks the signals coming from the sensors and compares them
with the figures allowed:
- signalling faults during starting
- warning light on for 4 seconds indicates test stage
- warning light off after 4 seconds indicates no fault with components that could alter the pollution con­
trol standard figures
- warning light on after 4 seconds indicates fault.
- signalling faults during operation
- warning light on indicates fault
- warning light off indicates no fault with components that could alter the pollution control standard fig­
ures.
- 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 components which are not faulty.
Control of cylinder balancing during idling
According to the signals coming from the sensors, the injection control unit controls the idle speed torque,
altering the injector operating times.
Control of irregular operation
Depending on the signals coming from the sensors, the injection control unit corrects the amount of fuel
to be injected in order to improve driveability and reduce jerking whilst driving.
The correction is achieved through the fuel pressure regulator and by varying the injector operating times.
Control of electrical balance
According to the battery voltage, the injection control unit alters the idle speed, to guarantee a sufficient
current supply from the alternator in situations where the consumers are absorbing a great deal of power.
The variation in the idle speed is achived by regulating the fuel pressure and altering the injector operat­
ing times.
VGT variable geometry turbocharger control (1910 JTD 110 CV)
The injection control unit processes the signal coming from the supercharging sensor, at the various en­
gine operating speeds, and determines the quantity of fuel to be injected, acting on the fuel pressure
regulator and the injector opening times.
In addition, through the solenoid valve, the control unit regulates the geometry of the turbine in order to
ensure optimum performance in all operating conditions.
Turbocharger waste gate valve control (1910 JTD 100 CV)
At the various engine operating speeds, the injection control unit processes the signal coming from the
supercharging sensor and determines the amount of fuel to inject, acting on the fuel pressure regulator
and the injector opening times.
In addition, the control unit controls the opening of the turbocharger waste gate valve, via the solenoid
valve, in order to ensure excellent performance in all operating conditions.
Control of throttle closing when engine is switched off
When the engine is switched off (ignition key in OFF position) the injection control unit closes the throt­
tle valve located on the air intake duct via the special solenoid valve.
This action makes it possible to limit the tiresome shuddering of the engine whilst it is switching off.

ELECTRONIC INJECTION CONTROL UNIT
The control unit processes signals from the various sensors by applying software algorithms and controls
the actuators accordingly (particularly the injectors and pressure regulator) to achieve the best possible
engine service conditions.
The control unit is "flash E.P.R.O.M." type, i.e. it can be reprogrammed from outside without andy need
to adjust the hardware.
The injection control unit contains a built-in absolute pressure sensor and is connected to the wiring by
means of a 121 pin connector.

RPM SENSOR
The rpm sensor is fitted to the engine crank-
case and faces the phonic wheel on the
crankshaft.
The sensor is inductive type, i.e. it works by
varying a magnetic field generated when the
phonic wheel teeth (60-2 teeth) pass in front
of the sensor element.
The injection control unit uses the rpm sensor
signal to determine crankshaft speed and an­
gular position.
Operation
The changeover from full to empty due to the
presence or absence of teeth sets up a mag­
netic flux change sufficient to generate an in­
duced alternating voltage proportional to the
number of teeth on the phonic wheel.
The peak sensor output voltage value, all
things being equal, depends on the distance
between the sensor and the tooth (gap).

TIMING SENSOR
The Hall effect sensor is fitted to the cylinder head and faces the camshaft pulley.
An opening on the pulley allows the timing sensor to detect the engine timing position and indicate it to
the injection control unit.
The injection control unit uses the timing sensor signal to detect TDC at the end of compression.
Operation
A semi-condulator layer, through which a current passes, immersed in a magnetic field (lines of force per­
pendicular to the direction of the current), produces a difference in power, known as Hall voltage.
If the intensity of the current remains constant, the voltage produced only depends on the intensity of the
magnetic field. The intensity of the field can simply be altered periodically to produce a modulated electri­
cal signal. Signal frequency is proportional to the speed with which the magnetic field changes.
To achieve this change, the sensor is crossed by a metal ring (inner part of the pulley) with an opening.
When it moves, the metal part of the ring covers the sensor to magnetic field and the output signal is
therefore low; Conversely, the sensor generates a high signal at the opening when the magnetic field is
present.
This signal, together with the rpm and TDC signals, allows the injection control unit to identify piston po­
sition and determine injection point.
AIR FLOW METER
(DEBIMETER)
The debimeter is located on the air intake
sleeve and is hot film type.
The debimeter contains an intake air tem­
perature sensor.
Operation
The principle of operation is based on a
heated membrane fitted into a measurement
channel through which engine intake air
flows.
The hot film membrane is maintained at a
constant temperature (about 120 °C higher
than incoming air) by the heater coil.
The mass of air flowing through the measure­
ment channel tends to take heat from the
membrane. To keep the membrane at constant
temperature, a certain current level must flow
through the resistance.
Because this current is proportional to the
mass of air that flows to the engine, it can be
measured with a Wheatstone bridge and the
resulting signal is sent to the injection control
unit.

INJECTORS
The injectors are fitted to the cylinder head
and are electromagnetic in type. They are
controlled directly by the injection control
unit.
The injectors come with a high-pressure sup­
ply port and a recirculation pipe at environ­
mental pressure; The supply port is connected
to a delivery manifold (rail) with pipes de­
signed to withstand the high service pressures.
The injector can be divided into two parts:
- Actuator/spray made up of a pressure rod
(1), pin (2) and nozzle (3);
- control solenoid made up of coil (4) and
pilot valve (5).
Operation
Injector operation may be divided into three
stages:
1. rest position
Coil (4) is deactivated and plunger (6) is in
closed position to prevent fuel entering the
cylinder: Fc > Fa where Fc is the force gener­
ated by pressure acting on the control area (7)
of pressure rod (1) and Fa is the force due to
the pressure acting on supply volume (8).
2. Start of injection
Coil (4) is excited and causes plunger (6) to
rise. Fuel flows from control volume (9) to
the return manfold to bring about a pressure
drop in control area (7). Simultanteously, line
pressure through supply port (12) exerceses a
force Fa > Fc on supply volume (8) to cause
pin (2) to rise and thus allow fuel into the
cylinders.
3. end of injection
Coil (4) is deactivated and causes plunger (6)
to return to closed position. The resulting bal­
ance of forces makes pin (2) return to rest po­
sition and injection therefore ends.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
The sensor is fitted to the thermostat and
measures the temperature of the engine cool­
ant by means of an NTC thermistor with a
negative resistance coefficient.
Because the sensor is made using semicon­
ductor technology, the resistance falls if sen­
sor element temperature rises with increasing
coolant temperature.
Because resistance does not change in linear
manner, it is higher at low temperatures than
at high temperatures for the same temperature
increase.

SENSOR
The sensor is fitted on the return manifold and
measures fuel temperature by means of an
NTC thermistor with a negative resistance co­

Refer to the previous description of the cool­
ant temperature sensor for sensor operation.
FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR
The sensor is fitted in the middle of the fuel
delivery manifold (rail) and is responsible for
providing a return signal (feedback) to the

MULTIFUNCTION VALVE
The multifunction valve is located on the fuel
tank and performs the following functions:
- tank pressurisation
- ventilation
- seal if the car rolls over
Tank pressurisation
Tank pressurisation is maintained at a level be­
tween 55 and 75 mbars by means of a valve
mounted on a sealing rim.
The valve is supported by a steel plate and held in place by a spring.
When tank pressure exceeds a specified level, it overcomes spring resistance and allows the valve to rise
so that vapours can flow out.
When the pressure returns to within specified limits, the valve closes again
Ventilation
Under certain car service conditions, a vacuum may build up in the tank due to the effect of:
- heat changes;
- fuel consumption
in this case, the valve's function is to make up pressure inside the tank by letting air into the tank.
If this function is not performed correctly, the car may judder or stall due to difficulties in supplying the
pump.
Seal if the car rolls over
The roll-over function prevents fuel emerging from the tank if the car rolls over or tilts to a great extent.
During normal car operation (bends, acceleration, braking etc.), the fuel slops about and may emerge.
The highly-sensitive roll-over valve prevents this happening.
DELIVERY MANIFOLD (RAIL)
The delivery manifold (rail) is fitted to the cylinder head on the intake side.
Its volume damps fuel pressure fluctuations due mainly to:
- operation of the pressure pump;
- injector opening.
A fuel pressure sensor is fitted in the middle of the delivery manifold.
Hydraulic connections (high pressure) are via special steel pipes.
