Fuel Injectors

Fuel Injectors Description

The engine is fitted with 8 fuel injectors (one per cylinder), each of which is directly driven by the ECM. The Injectors are fed from a common fuel rail as part of a return less fuel system, with the fuel rail pressure constant at 3.5 bar (52 psi). The Fuel Pressure Regulator is integral to the fuel pump module, within the fuel tank. There is no reference signal line to the intake manifold.

The ECM monitors the output power stages of the injector drivers for electrical faults. A fault is detected if any of the following conditions is satisfied:
1. Fuel injector driver short circuit to battery positive, i.e. the driver voltage is greater than half the battery voltage when the driver is ON.
2. Fuel injector driver short circuit to ground, i.e. the driver voltage is less than one third of the battery voltage when the driver is OFF.
3. Fuel injector driver open circuit, i.e. the driver voltage is greater than one third of the battery voltage but less than two thirds of the battery voltage when the driver is OFF.
