Measuring the angular position (Cylinder reference sensor)
The angular position is measured using a magneto-inductive sensor triggered by machined teeth on the engine
flywheel. This flywheel has 60 teeth separated by six degrees, minus 2 missing teeth that form a notch.
A second sensor (Hall effect), activated by a machined tooth on the high pressure pump drive pulley
(synchronised with the camshaft), which rotates at half the engine speed, supplies a signal showing 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, namely: 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.
Flow capacity function (VLC)
Because of the combination of several parameters such as the diesel fuel temperature, part wear, clogging of the
diesel filter, etc., the system may reach its limit 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 (confirmed by
ET563 Flow capacity function). This is part of normal operation.
Function: Air flow management.
EGR valve control
The EGR (Exhaust gas recirculation) system comprises a proportional EGR valve with a built-in valve position
feedback potentiometer. The EGR valve position is controlled by the potentiometer in a closed loop and/or by
changes in the estimated air flow.
Calculation of the air flow
WITHOUT FLOWMETER (K9K 722)
Certain models are not fitted with air flowmeters. In this case the amount of fresh inlet air must be evaluated, based
on the values supplied by the surrounding systems. The (theoretical) air volume is calculated using a model with
these calculation parameters:
– the inlet air temperature measured by a sensor located after the turbocharger and/or after the intercooler (if fitted),
– the turbocharging pressure,
– the atmospheric pressure (external air),
– the EGR valve position,
– the fuel flow,
– the engine speed.
The atmospheric pressure sensor is optional. If fitted, it sends back an atmospheric pressure signal to an analogue
port on the micro-controller. If not, atmospheric pressure is recovered based on the turbocharger pressure
and the engine field.

Temperature / emergency stop warning light
This indicator light is used both as an in-operation indicator light and as a system fault warning light. It illuminates for
3 seconds when the power is switched on (automatic test procedure controlled by the instrument panel)
Continuously lit: indicates engine overheating or a Level 2 fault.
– if the fault reaches a critical level, the injection cuts off automatically after several seconds.
– in the event of engine overheating, it is the driver's choice to stop the car or continue driving.
ACTIVATION PROGRAMMING OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS
Orange SERVICE warning light (level 1)
This warning light comes on, accompanied by the faulty injection message.
The driver should have the repairs carried out as soon as possible.
Red STOP warning light (level 2)
This warning light comes on, accompanied by the faulty injection message.
The driver should have the repairs carried out as soon as possible.
Excess pollution OBD ORANGE warning light:
This warning light is used to alert the driver of any injection faults that could lead to excessive pollution, or if
the EOBD system has been deactivated. The injection computer requests illumination of the OBD warning light for
a present fault only after three consecutive driving cycles.
The 3 second visual inspection when the ignition is switched on (automatic test procedure managed by
the instrument panel) is carried out by the injection computer.
