Control of injected fuel quantity
The control unit controls the fuel pressure regulator and injectors on the basis of output signals from the
accelerator pedal potentiometer, flow meter and rpm sensor.
The timing and thus the injection sequence are determined when the engine is started up using signals
from the rpm and timing sensor (synchronisation stage); injection timing is then implemented using the
rpm sensor signal alone and considering a injection sequence of 1 -3-4-2.
The control unit inhibits injection in the following cases:
- fuel pressure level greater than 1500 bars;
- fuel pressure level lower than 120 bars;
- engine speed higher than 6000 rpm.
When the engine has warmed up, maximum injection duration (injector opening time) is 1500 ns, but it
can reach 3000 ns during the start-up stage.
Control of injection advance
The electronic control unit determines injection advance mainly on the basis of the quantity of fuel to be
injected.
The injection advance is then corrected on the basis of coolant temperature and speed in order to com­
pensate for ignition delays due to low temperatures in the combustion chamber during warm-up.
The optimum injection point is also processed to ensure driving comfort and emission limits laid down by
Euro 3 legislation.
Control of injection pressure
This control is of particular importance because injection pressure influences the following parameters:
- amount of fuel taken into the cylinders for the same injection time duration;
- injected fuel nebulation;
- spray penetration;
- lag between electrical control to injection and actual injection start and end times.
The above parameters engine behaviour significantly, particularly in terms of power output, exhaust emis­
sions, noise levels and handling.
The injection control unit controls the pressure governor on the basis of engine load to obtain an optimal
line pressure at all times.
When the engine is cold, injection pressure is corrected on the basis of engine speed and engine coolant
temperature to meet engine needs at different operating temperatures.
Control of auxiliary fuel pump
The auxiliary fuel pump submerged in the tank is supplied by the injection control unit by means of a relay
when the ignition key is turned on.
Fuel supply to the pump is inhibited when one of the following condition occurs:
- when the ignition has been turned on for a certain length of time without the engine running;
- if the inertia switch cuts in.
Control of injection during over-run (cut-off)
The fuel cut-off strategy is implemented when the injection control unit receives information that the ac­
celerator pedal has been released from the potentiometer.
Under these conditions, the control unit cuts off the fuel supply to the injectors and restores it before idle
speed is reached.

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.

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).

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.
