Group 30: Electrical system Component description

Unit injector
The unit injectors are installed on the cylinder head,
underneath the valve cover.
The amount of fuel injected and injection duration is
controlled by the control unit, via electromagnetically
controlled fuel valves in the unit injectors. This means
that the engine always receives the correct volume of
fuel in all operating conditions, which offers lower fuel
consumption, minimal exhaust emissions etc.

Piston cooling monitor (D12-800)


A valve is installed in the oil filter bracket which opens
or closes the oil supply for piston cooling, depending
on oil pressure. If the oil pressure is below 240 kPa,
the valve closes the oil supply for piston cooling.
The piston cooling pressure is monitored by a pres-
sure monitor. The output signal from the pressure
monitor can only have two distinct positions, on/off, in
the same way as a relay output. The monitor is sup-
plied with current from the engine control unit. A pre-
set pressure limit of 150 kPa determines when the
monitor switches on. The monitor opens if the pres-
sure exceeds this value.
At idle, the monitor can be closed without a fault code
being set.

Sensor, fuel pressure (6)


The sensor measures fuel pressure and is located on
the fuel filter bracket. The sensor is an active sensor,
i.e. the sensor requires a supply voltage of +5 Volt.
The sensor provides an output signal whose voltage is
proportional to the pressure that the sensor measures.
