I. HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTAMINATION
The high pressure direct injection system is highly sensitive to contamination. The risks associated with
contamination are:
–damage to or destruction of the high pressure injection system,
–components jamming,
–components losing seal integrity.
All After-Sales operations must be performed under very clean conditions. This means that no impurities
(particles a few microns in size) should have entered the system during dismantling.
The cleanliness principle must be applied from the filter to the injectors.
What are the sources of contamination?
–metal or plastic swarf,
–paint,
–fibres: from cardboard,
from brushes,
from paper,
from clothing,
from cloths.
–foreign bodies such as hair,
–ambient air
–etc.
II. ADVICE TO BE FOLLOWED BEFORE ANY OPERATION
Check that you have plugs for the unions to be opened (set of plugs available from the Parts Department). The plugs
are single-use only. After use, they must be discarded (once used they are soiled and cleaning is not sufficient to
make them reusable). Unused plugs must also be discarded.
Check that you have hermetically resealable plastic bags for storing removed parts. Parts stored in this way will be
less susceptible to the risk of contamination. The bags are single-use only. Once used, they must be thrown out.
Use lint-free cleaning cloths (cloth part reference 77 11 211 707). Using normal cloth or paper is prohibited. They are
not lint-free and could contaminate the fuel circuit. Each cloth should only be used once.
Use fresh cleaning agent for each operation (used cleaning agent is contaminated). Pour it into an uncontaminated
container.
For each operation, use a clean brush in good condition (the brush must not shed its bristles).
Use a brush and cleaning agent to clean the unions to be opened.IMPORTANT
Cleaning the engine using a high pressure washer is prohibited because of the risk of damaging connections. In
addition, moisture may collect in the connectors and create electrical connection faults.
IMPORTANT
Before any work is carried out on the high pressure injection system, protect:
–the accessories and timing belts,
–the electrical accessories, (starter, alternator, electric power-assisted steering pump),
–the flywheel surface, to prevent any diesel from running onto the clutch friction plate.

System outline
The DCM1.2 injection system used on the K9K engine is an electronically-managed high pressure injection system.
The fuel is compressed by a high pressure pump then stored in a rail that feeds the injectors. Injection takes place
when a current pulse is applied to the injector holders. The amount injected is proportional to the rail pressure
and the applied pulse length, and the start of injection is synchronised with the start of the pulse.
The system includes two subsystems, which have different fuel pressure levels:
–The low pressure circuit contains the tank, the diesel fuel filter, the transfer pump and the injector holder
return pipes,
–the high-pressure system includes the high-pressure pump, rail, injector holders and high-pressure pipes.
Finally, there are a certain number of sensors and regulating actuators for controlling and monitoring the entire
system.
Functions performed:
Function: Fuel supply management (timing, flow and pressure).
Quantity of fuel injected and injection timing setting
The injection checking parameters are the quantities to be injected and their respective timing.
These are calculated by the computer using signals from the following sensors:
–engine speed sensor (Crankshaft + Cam lobe for synchronisation),
–accelerator pedal sensor,
–coolant temperature sensor,
–rail pressure sensor,
–atmospheric pressure sensor,
–accelerometer,
–inlet manifold pressure sensor.

The quantities to be injected and their respective timing are converted into:
–a reference tooth,
–the time between this tooth and the start of the pulse,
–the time during which the supply to the injector holder is on.
An electrical current (pulse) is sent to each injector holder according to previously calculated data. The system
carries out one to four injections (one pilot injection, one pre-injection, one main injection, one post-injection).
The general principle is to calculate the total injection flow which is then divided between the injection stages to
promote correct combustion and reduce pollutant emissions.
An accelerometer checks some of the fuel injection deviation. This has several functions:
–Protecting the engine by detection of injection system leaks.
–Checking the quantity injected by measuring deviations and variations.
By changing both the injection duration and advance, the system readjusts the quantity of fuel injected
and the mixture's moment of ignition.Clio III

Rail pressure check
The quality of combustion is influenced by the size of the atomised droplets in the cylinder.
In the combustion chamber, smaller fuel droplets will have time to burn fully, and will not produce smoke or unburned
particles. To meet emission control requirements, the droplet size must be reduced and therefore the injection holes
must be smaller.
With smaller holes, less fuel will be able to be introduced at a given pressure, which limits the power. To offset this
disadvantage, the quantity of fuel injected must be increased, which means increased pressure (and more holes in
the injector nozzles). In the Delphi Common Rail injection system, the pressure in the rail can reach 1600 bar
and must be constantly controlled. The measuring circuit comprises an active pressure sensor on the rail connected
to an analogue port on the computer.
The High Pressure pump is supplied at low pressure (5 bar) by a built-in transfer pump. This pump supplies the rail.
The rail filling pressure is controlled by the filling valve (IMV) and the discharge pressure is controlled by the injector
valves. This compensates for pressure drops. The filling actuator enables the high pressure pump to supply
the exact quantity of diesel fuel required to maintain the rail pressure. This mechanism minimises the heat generated
and improves engine output.
In order to discharge the rail using the injector valves, the valves are actuated by short electrical pulses which are:
–short enough not to open the injector (fuel passes through the return circuit from the injectors),
–long enough to open the valves and discharge the rail.
The fuel surplus is sent back to the fuel filter or the tank, according to its flow. If there is no IMV* control, the rail
pressure is limited by a discharge valve on the pump.
IMV*: Filling actuator.
Idling speed regulation
The computer handles the calculation of idling speed. This has to take account of the instantaneous power level to
be supplied, according to the following factors:
–engine coolant temperature,
–gear ratio engaged,
–battery charge,
–electrical consumers (Additional heating, Air conditioning, Fan assembly, heated windscreen, etc.) active
or inactive,
–system faults detected.
Individual injector correction (C2I)
The DCM1.2 system injectors must be calibrated with corrective values so that their flow may be adjusted precisely.
Each injector is calibrated for different pressures on a test bench, and its specifications are shown on a label
attached to the body of the injector holders. These individual correction values are then entered into the computer
memory, which can control the injectors, taking their manufacturing variations into account.

Angular position measurement
Engine speed sensor:
The angular position is measured using a magneto-inductive sensor triggered by machined teeth on the shaft
flywheel. This flywheel has sixty teeth, six degrees apart, minus two missing teeth that form a notch.
Cylinder reference sensor:
A second sensor (Hall effect) triggered by a machined tooth on the high pressure pump drive pulley (synchronised
with the camshaft), turning at half the engine speed, supplies a signal about the progress of the injection cycle.
By comparing the signals from these two sensors, the computer's APS module (Angular Position Subsystem) can
supply the entire system with the synchronisation factors, which are: the angular position of the flywheel, the engine
speed, the number of the active injector and the injection cycle timing.
This module also supplies the system with the engine speed signal.
New pump chamber filling procedure (pump boosting)
The pump lubrication goes through a booster cycle during which the pump is filled and pressurised before
"transferring" the diesel fuel to the rail.
This lubrication goes through a procedure called new pump chamber filling, which prevents starting for
approximately 10 seconds, which is the time required for filling the pump and starting. For vehicles with keys,
if the key is released before the end of this "initial starting" phase there is no need for a power latch phase to be
completed before a fresh attempt to start the vehicle.
This procedure is run after the first start in the factory, after a computer is replaced if the parameters relating to
the rail pressure have not been copied into the new computer, and also after reprogramming of the injection
computer.
Variable Low Capacity (VLC) output function
Because of the combination of several parameters such as the diesel fuel temperature, part wear, clogging of
the diesel filter etc., the system limit may be reached during its service life. If this happens, the rail pressure cannot
be maintained because the pump lacks the necessary capacity. If the pump lacks the necessary capacity, this
programming will therefore reduce the requested flow to a value that will enable the pressure monitoring system to
control the pressure again.
The customer may have noticed a loss of vehicle performance when this program is activated (depending on
the vehicle, this programming can be confirmed by ET563 Flow capacity function). This is normal operation of
the injection system.
