Control of idle speed
On the basis of signals from the rpm sensor and engine coolant temperature sensor, the injection control
unit controls the pressure governor and alters the injector control times to maintain idle speed stable at all
times.
Under certain conditions, the idle speed control unit also considers battery voltage.
Control of maximum speed limitation
According to rpm level, the injection control unit limits maximum speed by means of two types of inter
vention:
- as maximum speed approaches, it reduces the amount of fuel injected to reduce line pressure;
- when maximum speed is exceeded, it inhibits operation of the auxiliary pump and injectors.
Control of maximum torque limitation
On the basis of rpm level, the injection control unit computes limit torque and maximum permitted fume
index parameters on the basis of predefined, stored maps.
It then corrects the above parameters using engine coolant temperature and car speed data. The resulting
values are then used to modulate the amount of fuel to be injected by adjusting the pressure regulator and
injectors.
Control of fuel temperature
The injection control uint is kept constantly informed of fuel temperature by a sensor on the return mani
fold.
If fuel temperature exceeds a set value (about 110 °C), the control unit reduces line pressure by adjusting
the pressure governor, leaving injection times unaltered.
Control of coolant temperature
The injection control unit is constantly informed of coolant temperature by a sensor on the thermostat.
If engine coolant temperature or air conditioning fluid pressure exceeds certain levels, the control unit
performs the following actions:
- It reduces the amount of fuel injected by adjusting the pressure governor and injectors (power reduc
tion);
- it controls the engine radiator cooling fan.
Control of glow plugs
The injection control unit controls operation of the glow plug preheating control unit to bring the tem
perature in the combution chambers up to levels that promote fuel self-ignition and thus make start-up
easier.
The control unit controls the operation of the glow plug control unit for a certain time both before (pre
heating) and after (postheating) engine start-up and also controls activation of the warning light on the
control panel.
Preheating, postheating and glow plug warning light activation times vary according to engine coolant
temperature.
