Fault finding – Cleanliness guidelines
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,
– a component leaking.
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 - INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED PRIOR TO ALL OPERATIONS
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 be discarded.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 FLOWCHART
The high pressure injection system is designed to deliver a precise quantity of diesel fuel to the engine at a set
moment.
The Siemens VDO piezo Common Rail system used on the K9K Step 2 engine is a second generation Common Rail
injection system. Fuel pressure in the rail can reach a maximum of 1650 bar.
The Siemens VDO piezo Common Rail system uses injectors which are controlled by piezoelectric actuators.
The fuel is pressurised by means of a high pressure pump then sent to a rail which supplies the four injectors.
The system includes two subsystems, which have different fuel pressure levels:
●the low pressure system which includes the tank, diesel fuel filter, internal fuel transfer pump and injector
return pipes,
●the high pressure system which includes the high pressure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes.
There are a number of sensors and regulating actuators for controlling and monitoring the entire system.
It is fitted with a 112- track (or 128- track for Kangoo II) SIEMENS computer (SID 301 and SID 304).
The system comprises:
– a priming bulb,
– a diesel filter,
– a high pressure pump (HPP) with a fuel pressure solenoid valve (PCV), a fuel flow solenoid valve (VCV) and an
internal fuel transfer pump (ITP, low pressure pump),
– an injector rail,
– a rail pressure sensor,
– four piezoelectric injectors,
– a fuel temperature sensor,
– a coolant temperature sensor,
– a camshaft sensor,
– a TDC sensor,
– a turbocharger pressure sensor,
– an exhaust gas recirculation solenoid valve with integrated position sensor (EGR),
– an accelerator pedal potentiometer,
– an atmospheric pressure sensor integrated into the injection computer,
– an air mass flowmeter with integrated air temperature sensor,
– an air damper valve (Vdiag 44, 45, 48, 49 and 4D only),
– a temperature sensor upstream of the turbine,
– an antipollution system:
●a temperature sensor upstream of the particle filter (Vdiag 45, 49, 4D only),
●a temperature sensor downstream of the particle filter (Vdiag 45, 49, 4D only),
●a particle filter differential pressure sensor (Vdiag 45, 49, 4D only),

FUEL SUPPLY
High pressure pump
The high pressure pump consists of the following components:
– Internal fuel transfer pump (ITP):
The pump is a rotary pump with vanes which sucks the fuel from the tank through the fuel filter and supplies the high
pressure pump with fuel.
– Fuel flow solenoid valve (VCV):
The solenoid valve regulates the flow of fuel entering the high pressure pump and enables an optimum quantity of
fuel to be pressurised according to the operating phase; this improves the efficiency of the high pressure pump
and the engine.
– High-pressure pump (HPP):
The pump is a 3-piston radial pump which generates the required pressure in the rail.
– Fuel pressure solenoid valve (PCV):
The solenoid valve regulates the output pressure of the high pressure pump.
Piezoelectric injectors
The piezoelectric injectors enable rapid, precise metering of the quantity of fuel injected, with excellent injection
process repetitiveness.
The piezoelectric actuator operates like a condenser. To control the injector, the computer sends, at the correct time,
a quantity of energy which is sufficient to enable the actuator to deform and the injector to open.
During the injection period, the piezoelectric actuator stores this energy.
At the end of the injection period, the computer recovers the energy sent at the start of the control operation.
The piezoelectric actuator discharges and returns to its original shape. The injector closes.
To improve efficiency, the energy stored by the piezoelectric actuator is reused, reducing the energy required for the
next injection.
WARNING:
The injector voltage is very high (much higher than that of conventional injectors).
This voltage can be as much as 150 V.

Fault finding – Function13B
Engine synchronisation
One of the determining factors for fuel injection control is knowing the position of each of the pistons in their
respective cylinders at all times.
The angular position is measured using a TDC sensor triggered by machined teeth on the flywheel. The flywheel
has 60 teeth, with 2 teeth missing which forms a notch which is used as a reference point for the 1
st cylinder.
A second sensor (Hall-effect), excited by a machined tooth on the camshaft, and turning at half the engine speed,
provides information on the progress of the injection cycle. When the piston of cylinder 1 is at top dead centre (TDC),
either at the end of the compression stroke or at the end of the exhaust stroke, the camshaft sensor enables
a distinction to be made between these two states.
By comparing the signals from these two sensors, the computer is able to provide all of its systems with
synchronisation parameters, namely: the angular position of the flywheel, engine speed, the number of the active
injector and the progress of the injection cycle.
The module supplies the system with the rotation speed signal.
The camshaft sensor is only used when starting the engine. As soon as the engine is running by itself (not being
cranked by the starter), the signal provided by the TDC sensor is sufficient. A camshaft sensor fault, when the
engine is running, does not prevent the engine from operating correctly.
Quantity of fuel injected and control of start of injection
The parameters for controlling injection are, for each cylinder, the quantity to be injected and the start of injection.
These parameters are calculated by the injection computer using the following information:
– Engine speed.
– Accelerator pedal position.
– Turbocharging air pressure.
– Coolant temperature.
– Air temperature.
– Fuel temperature.
–Air flow.
– Pressure of fuel in the rail.

Step by step flow regulation
The aim of this regulation process is to facilitate smooth engine operation by compensating for system variations
(injectors, compression value, etc.) which affect the torque generated by each cylinder during combustion.
The regulation process is only active at idle speed, with a warm engine and provided the engine speed is sufficiently
stable.
Each cylinder has an injection time correction coefficient which sets the injection time when the regulation process is
active, otherwise the correction coefficient remains at its last set value.
On each new cycle, the coefficients are set to 1.
