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.

Exhaust fumes control
Through this function the injection control unit limits any exhaust fumes that could be produced during
transition speeds.
To satisy these requirements the control unit processes the signals supplied by the accelerator pedal po­
tentiometer, the rpm sensor and the air flow meter and controls the fuel pressure regulator and the injec­
tors to meter the correct amount of fuel to inject.
Exhaust gas recirculation control
On the basis of the signals supplied by the rpm sensor, intake air quantity sensor, engine coolant tempe­
rature sensor and accelerator pedal position sensor, the control unit calculates the operating times for the
EGR valve so that the exhaust gases are partly recirculated in certain engine operating conditions in line
with Euro 3 pollution control standards.
Air conditioning system engagement control
The injection control unit manages the operation of the air conditioning system compressor electro­
magnet coupling following a logic aimed at preventing operating conditions that would adversely affect
engine performance.
- When the compressor is switched on the injection control unit increases the quantity of fuel during
idling to allow the engine to adjust to the increased power requirements and momentarily interrupts the
supply to the compressor in high engine power requirement conditions (strong acceleration).
Engine immobilizer function control
The system is equipped with an engine immobilizer function. This function is achieved through the pre­
sence of a specific control unit (Fiat CODE), capable of conversing with the injection control unit and an
electronic key with a special transmitter for sending a recognition code.
Each time the key is turned to the OFF position, the Fiat CODE system completely deactivates the injecti­
on control unit.
When the key is turned to the ON position the following operations take place, in order:
1. the injection control unit (whose memory contains a secret code) sends the Fiat CODE control unit a
request to send the secret code to deactivate the immobilizer functions;
2. the Fiat CODE control unit responds by only sending the secret code after, in turn, having received the
recognition code transmitted by the ignition key;
3. the recognition of the secret code allows the deactivation of the injection control unit immobilizer func­
tion and its normal operation.
Autodiagnosis
The complete electronic fault diagnosis of the injection system is carried out by connecting the special
equipment (EXAMINER or EXAMINER PLUS) to the standardized diagnostic socket (EOBD).
The system is also equipped with a self-diagnostic function which recognizes, memorizes and signals any
faults.
If a fault is detected in the sensors or actuators, the recovery strategy is immediately activated in order to
ensure that the engine functions at an acceptable level. The vehicle can be driven to a service centre for
the appropriate repairs to be carried out.

AIR INTAKE CIRCUIT
The air intake circuit is turbocharged by means of of a GARRET variable geometry turbocharger and an
intercooler.
The turbocharger is low inertia type. Its design is based on a new principle of turbocharging whereby the
turbocharger aims to increase torque within the range of most frequent use (e.g. at low speeds).
After passing through the filter (1), intake air is compressed by the exhaust gas-drive turbocharger (4),
cooled by intercooler (5) and sent to throttle body (6) and the intake manifold from where it is distributed
to the cylinders.

TURBOCHARGER (1910 JTD 110 CV)
The turbocharger used in the application of the
EURO 3 standards in the variable geometry
type connected to the exhaust manifold.
The turbocharger is controlled by the engine
management control unit via a duty-cycle so­
lenoid valve.
The increased volumetric output for the engine
is achieved, in the case of variable geometry
compressors, through the use of:
- a centrifugal compressor (1)
- a turbine (2)
- a series of moving vanes (3)
- a pneumatic actuator (4) controlling the
moving vanes.
- asolenoid valve (5) controlling the actuator
The variable geometry turbocharger makes it
possible to:
- increase the speed of the exhaust gases in
the turbine at low engine speeds
- slow down the speed of the exhaust gases
in the turbine at high speeds.
The control of the speed (kinetic energy) of
the exhaust gases makes it possible to pro­
duce increased engine torque at low speeds
and greater maximum power at high speeds.
Operation at low rotation speeds
When the engine is operating at low speeds,
the exhaust gases possses little kinetic energy:
under these circumstances a conventional tur­
bine would rotate slowly, supplying a limited
supercharging pressure.
On the other hand, in the variable geometry
turbine (1), the moving vanes are in the
maximum closure position and the small pas­
sage sections between the vanes increase the
speed (C) of the intake gases.
Increased intake speeds lead to increased pe­
ripheral speeds (U) of the turbine and, conse­
quently, the compressor.
The speed of the gases inside the impeller is
indicated by the vector (W).

Operation at high rotation speeds
When the engine speed is increased, the ki­
netic energy of the exhaust gases increases
gradually.
As a result, the speed of the turbine (5) in­
creases and consequently the supercharging
pressure.
The VGT solenoid valve (2) operated by the
injection control unit (1), through the actuator
(4) causes the moving vanes to change posi­
tion until the maximum opening position is
reached.

There is therefore an increase in the passage
sections and consequently a slowing down in
the flow of exhaust gases which pass through
the turbine (1) at the same speed or slower
than the low speed conditions.
The speed of the turbine (1) decreases and
settles down at a suitable vaule for the correct
operation of the engine at high speeds.

TURBOCHARGER (1910 JTD 100 CV)
It basically consists of two impellers (1) on
one shaft (2) which rotates on floating bear­
ings lubricated by a duct (3) from the engine
lubrication circuit.
The oil used dissipates some of the large
amount of heat given off by the exhaust gases
at the turbine.
There is a waste gate valve (4) fitted on the
turbocharger, operated by a pneumatic actua­
tor (5), that makes it possible to shutter the
flow of exhaust gases to the turbine, accord­
ing to the engine power/torque requirements.
The pneumatic actuator is controlled by the en­
gine management control unit via a solenoid
valve.
* The turbocharger used on the 1910 JTD 100 CV version is the fixed geometry type.

EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES
The car is equipped with devices designed to reduce polluting emissions in accordance with Euro 3
reguirements:
- Oxidising catalytic converter (1)
- Exhaust gas recirculation circuit (EGR) (2)
- Crankcase blow-by vapour recirculation circuit (3).
4F027XJ01
OXIDISING CATALYTIC CONVERTER
The oxidising catalytic converter is a post-
treatment device used to oxidise CO, HC and
particulate and convert them to carbon dioxide
(C02) and water vapour (H20).
The catalytic converter consists of a ceramic
honeycomb case (1) with its chambers im­
pregnated with platinum, a substance that
catalyses oxidation reactions.
Exhaust gases flow through the chambers and
heat the catalytic converter where they trigger
the conversion of pollutants to inert com­
pounds.
The chemical reaction involved in oxidising
the CO, HC and particulate is effective at tem­
peratures between 200 °C and 350 °C.
Above 350 °C, the sulphur in the diesel begins
to oxidise to produce sulphur dioxide and sul­
phuric acid.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION CIRCUIT (EGR)
This system sends a proportion of exhaust gases to the intake under certain engine service conditions.
This dilutes the fuel mixture with inert gsaes to lower.peak temperature in the combustion chamber; This
helps limit the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and reduces exhaust levels by 30-50%.

The EGR valve consists of:
- a Pierburg EGR solenoid (1) operated by engine management unit (2)
- a pipe from the exhaust manifold (4) (from which the exhaust gases flow)
- an air-water heat exchanger (3) (that lowers exhaust gas temperature)
- a pipe connected to throttle body (5) to which exhaust gases are admitted
4
Operation
With coolant temperature > 20°C and engine speeds between 800 and 3000 rpm, the engine management
unit controls the EGR solenoid by means of a square wave signal.
Changes in this signal allow the EGR coil to move a plunger and thus modulate the flow of exhaust gas
from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold; this achieves two results:
- less air is taken in
- combustion temperature is lowered (due to the presence of inert gases), thus reducing the formation of
NOx (nitrogen oxides).
The engine management control unit is constantly informed of recirculation gas quantity via data from the
debimeter. If the intake of a given quantity of air (Qam) is required for a given rpm and the level sent by
the debimeter (Qar) is lower, the difference (Qgr) is the amount of gas recirculated.
Qam - Qar = Qgr
Qam = stored theoretical air quantity
Qar = actual air quantity
Qgr = recirculated gas quantity
An atmospheric pressure signal is used in controlling the EGR valve to detect when the car is being driven at
altitude. The recirculation gas quantity can then be reduced to prevent engine fumes.
