(2) Fuel injection control
a. Multi injection
Fuel injection process consists of 3 steps: Main Injection, Pilot Injection, Post Injection
This is the injection before main injection. This consists of 1st and 2nd pilot injection, and Pre-injection.
The steps are normally used to control the NOx, noise, idle stability and engine vibration. Inject a small
amount of fuel before main injection prevents the instant high combustion temperature. It reduces the
NOx and decreases the engine noise and vibration. The main injection produces the actual output. The
vehicle output is based on the main injection. The post injection is the injection process after main
injection and consists of ‘After injection”, “Post 1 injection” and “Post 2 injection”. All of post
injections are to reduce the PM and harmful exhaust gas. The post injection does not make the actual
output. The post injection activates the fuel by injecting the fuel to the incompletely combusted gas after
primary combustion. Through the process, the PM and smoke in the exhaust gas could be reduced.
There are totally 7 injections as shown in the figure. However, all of 7 injections are not performed during
driving because it decreases the fuel economy. Totally 5 injections can be performed in one cycle.

b. Pilot Injection
Injection before main injection. Consists of 1st and 2nd pilot injection, and Pre-injection
Inject a small amount of fuel before main injection to make the combustion smooth. Also, called as
preliminary injection or ignition injection. This helps to reduce Nox, engine noise and vibration, and to
stabilize the idling.
The injected fuel volume is changed and stopped according to the coolant temperature and intake air
volume.
Pilot injection is much earlier than main injection due to higher engine rpm
Too small injection volume (insufficient injection pressure, insufficient fuel injection volume in main
injection, engine braking)

c. Main Injection
The power of the vehicle is determined by the main fuel injection volume.
Main injection calculates the fuel volume based on pilot injection. The calculation uses the value for
accelerator pedal position, engine rpm, coolant temperature, intake air temperature, boost pressure,
boost temperature and atmospheric pressure etc.
d. Post Injection
Injection after main injection. Consists of After injection, Post 1, Post 2 injection.
Post injection reduces PM and smoke from exhaust gas. No actual output is generated during these
injections, instead, fuel is injected to the unburned gas after main injection to enable fuel activation.

(3) Fuel Pressure Control
Fuel pressure is controlled by IMV opening according to the calculated value by ECU.
Pressure in the fuel rail is determined according to engine speed and load on the engine. ▶
When engine speed and load are high
The degree of turbulence is very great and the fuel can be injected at very high pressure in order to
optimize combustion.
When engine speed and load are low
The degree of turbulence is low. If injection pressure is too high, the nozzle's penetration will be
excessive and part of the fuel will be sprayed directly onto the sides of the cylinder, causing
incomplete combustion. So there occurs smoke and damages engine durability. -
-
Fuel pressure is corrected according to air temperature, coolant temperature and atmospheric pressure
and to take account of the added ignition time caused by cold running or by high altitude driving. A
special pressure demand is necessary in order to obtain the additional flow required during starts. This
demand is determined according to injected fuel and coolant temperature.
Open loop determines the current which needs to be sent to the actuator in order to obtain the
flow demanded by the ECU. ▶
Closed loop will correct the current value depending on the difference between the pressure
demand and the pressure measured. ▶
If the pressure is lower than the demand, current is reduced so that the fuel sent to the high pressure
pump is increased.
If the pressure is higher than the demand, current is increased so that the fuel sent to the high
pressure pump is reduced. -

Pilot injection timing control ▶
The pilot injection timing is determined as a function of the engine speed and of the total flow.
The elements are:
A first correction is made according to the air and coolant temperatures. This correction allows the
pilot injection timing to be adapted to the operating temperature of the engine.
A second correction is made according to the atmospheric pressure. This correction is used to adapt
the pilot injection timing as a function of the atmospheric pressure and therefore the altitude. -
-
(4) Injection Timing Control
Injection timing is determined by the conditions below. ▶
Coolant temperature
Hot engine - Retarded to reduce Nox
Cold engine - Advanced to optimize the combustion 1.
Atmospheric pressure
Advanced according to the altitude 2.
Warming up
Advanced during warming up in cold engine 3.
Rail pressure
Retarded to prevent knocking when the rail pressure is high 4.
EEGR ratio
Advanced to decrease the cylinder temperature when EGR ratio increases 5.
Main injection timing control ▶
The pulse necessary for the main injection is determined as a function of the engine speed and of the
injected flow.
The elements are:
A first correction is made according to the air and coolant temperatures.
This correction makes it possible to adapt the timing to the operating temperature of the engine.
When the engine is warm, the timing can be retarded to reduce the combustion temperature and
polluting emissions (NOx). When the engine is cold, the timing advance must be sufficient to allow
the combustion to begin correctly.
A second correction is made according to the atmospheric pressure.
This correction is used to adapt the timing advance as a function of the atmospheric pressure and
therefore the altitude.
A third correction is made according to the coolant temperature and the time which has passed since
starting.
This correction allows the injection timing advance to be increased while the engine is warming up
(initial 30 seconds). The purpose of this correction is to reduce the misfiring and instabilities which are
liable to occur after a cold start. -

15-170000-00
A fourth correction is made according to the pressure error.
This correction is used to reduce the injection timing advance when the pressure in the rail is higher
than the pressure demand.
A fifth correction is made according to the rate of EGR.
This correction is used to correct the injection timing advance as a function of the rate of exhaust gas
recirculation. -
-
When the EGR rate increases, the injection timing advance must in fact be increased in order to
compensate for the fall in termperature in the cylinder.
A. Main Flow Control
The main flow represents the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder during the main injection. The pilot
flow represents the amount of fuel injected during the pilot injection.
The total fuel injected during 1 cycle (main flow + pilot flow) is determined in the following manner.
When the driver depress the pedal, it is his demand which is taken into account by the system in order
to determine the fuel injected.
When the driver release the pedal, the idle speed controller takes over to determine the minimum fuel
which must be injected into the cylinder to prevent the enigne from stalling. -
-
The driver demand is the translation of the pedal position into the fuel demand. It is calculated as a
function of the pedal position and of the engine speed. The driver demand is filtered in order to limit the
hesitations caused by rapid changes of the pedal position. A mapping determines the maximum fuel
which can be injected as a function of the driver demand and the rail pressure. Since the flow is
proportional to the injection time and to the square root of the injection pressure, it is necessary to limit
the flow according to the pressure in order to avoid extending the injection for too long into the engine
cycle. The system compares the driver demand with this limit and chooses the smaller of the 2 values.
The driver demand is then corrected according to the coolant temperature. This correction is added to
the driver demand.

C. Idle Speed Controller
The idle speed controller consists of 2 principal modules:
The first module determines the required idle speed according to:
* The operating conditions of the engine (coolant temperature, gear engaged)
* Any activation of the electrical consumers (power steering, air conditioning, others)
* The battery voltage
* The presence of any faults liable to interface with the rail pressure control or the injection control. In
this case, increase the idle speed to prevent the engine from stalling.
The second module is responsible for providing closed loop control of the engine's idle speed by
adapting the minimum fuel according to the difference between the required idle speed and the
engine speed. -
-
D. Flow Limitation
The flow limitation strategy is based on the following strategies:
The flow limitation depending on the filling of the engine with air is determined according to the
engine speed and the air flow. This limitation allows smoke emissions to be reduced during
stabilized running.
The flow limitation depending on the atmospheric pressure is determined according to the engine
speed and the atmospheric pressure. It allows smoke emissions to be reduced when driving at
altitude.
The full load flow curve is determined according to the gear engaged and the engine speed. It
allows the maximum torque delivered by the engine to be limited.
A performance limitation is introduced if faults liable to upset the rail pressure control or the
injection control are detected by the system. In this case, and depending on the gravity of the fault,
the system activates: -
-
-
-
Reduced fuel logic 1: Guarantees 75 % of the performance without limiting the engine speed.
Reduced fuel logic 2: Guarantees 50 % of the performance with the engine speed limited to
3,000 rpm.
Reduce fuel logic 3: Limits the engine speed to 2,000 rpm.
The system chooses the lowest of all values.
A correction depending on the coolant temperature is added to the flow limitation. This correction makes
it possible to reduce the mechanical stresses while the engine is warming up.
The correction is determined according to the coolant temperature, the engine speed and the time which
has passed since starting.
E. Superchager Flow Demand
The supercharge flow is calculated according to the engine speed and the coolant temperature. A
correction depending on the air temperature and the atmospheric pressure is made in order to increase
the supercharge flow during cold starts. It is possible to alter the supercharge flow value by adding a flow
offset with the aid of the diagnostic tool

15-190000-00
F. Pilot Flow Control
The pilot flow represents the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder during the pilot injection. This
amount is determined according to the engine speed and the total flow.
A first correction is made according to the air and water temperature.
This correction allows the pilot flow to be adapted to the operating temperature of the engine. When
the engine is warm, the ignition time decreases because the end-of-compression temperature is
higher. The pilot flow can therefore be reduced because there is obviously less combustion noise
when the engine is warm.
A second correction is made according to the atmospheric pressure. -
-
During starting, the pilot flow is determined on the basis of the engine speed and the coolant
temperature.
G. Cylinder Balancing Strategy
Balancing of the point to point flows ▶
The pulse of each injector is corrected according to the difference in instantaneous speed measured
between 2 successive injectors.
The instantaneous speeds on two successive injections are first calculated.
The difference between these two instantaneous speeds is then calculated.
Finally, the time to be added to the main injection pulse for the different injectors is determined.
For each injector, this time is calculated according to the initial offset of the injector and the
instantaneous speed difference.
Detection of an injector which has stuck closed ▶
The cylinder balancing strategy also allows the detection of an injector which has stuck closed. The
difference in instantaneous speed between 2 successive injections then exceeds a predefined threshold.
In this case, a fault is signaled by the system.
