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.

GLOW PLUG PREHEATING CONTROL
UNIT
The glow plugs are controlled by means of a
preheating control unit under the direct con
trol of the injection control unit.
The preheating control unit contains a smart
relay that sends a return response (feedback)
to the injection control unit, which is thus in
formed of faults in the preheating control unit
or glow plug short-circuits to earth.
The figure shows the connectors on the base
of the preheating control unit and the pin-out

ACCELERATOR
PEDAL POTENTIOMETER
Accelerator pedal position is converted to an
electrical voltage signal and send to the injec
tion control unit by a potentiometer connected
to the accelerator pedal.
Accelerator pedal position is processed to
gether with rpm information to provide injec
tion times and pressure.
The sensor consists of a case (1) secured to
the pedal by a flange, which contains an axi-
ally-positioned shaft (2) connected to two
potentiometers (3): main and safety potenti
ometers.
A coil spring on the shaft ensures the correct
resistance to pressure while a second spring
ensures return upon release.

PROTECTION AND SAFETY DEVICES
All the vehicle supply lines were designed taking into account the most up-to-date directives in terms of
safety and protection, especially to prevent fires.
There are 2 types of protection:
- active protection, aims to reduce the causes of faults "at source"
- passive protection, aims to limit the effects of a fault as much as possible
The first category includes a carefully designed wiring layout with wires positioned and carefully anchored
on tracks that are repaired and protected if necessary.
The cables connected to the alternator and the motor were modified for this reason by adding protective
caps etc. A strengthened sheath was also introduced for some of the more exposed sections of wiring.
The passive protection includes all interventions to reduce faults due to high current (overload, short cir
cuit).
All system fuses were rated based on the nominal absorbtion of the loads activated at the same time, to
ensure intervention in cases of a clear short circuit.
The introduction of a box containing 4 maxifuses with other fuses connected on the outside means all
the supplies can be protected except for the cable that connects the battery to the starter motor and the
cable that connects the starter motor to the recharging alternator. These cables are therefore protected by a
strengthened supplementary sheath.
