    Study Notes

    Diesel Engine Electronic Unit Injector (EUI) System Overview

    • In the event of an injector failure, only one injection can occur due to a stuck closed valve preventing fuel entry into the high-pressure fuel chamber.
    • Injector adjustment plunger travel is crucial and should almost bottom out when the camshaft is on its outer base circle.
    • Adjustment procedures for EUI plunger travel vary between manufacturers and are performed according to maintenance schedules or when indicated by low-power complaints.
    • Electronic Signal Processing involves sensors collecting data on engine position and operating conditions, which is then processed by the ECU using operating algorithms, fuel timing maps, and calibration files to determine injection timing and fuel quantity for optimal performance and emissions.
    • The ECU produces unique output signals, including a pulse width modulated (PWM) current driving the injector solenoids, with varying on/off times measured in milliseconds.
    • Voltage levels and inductive reactance/resistance affect current flow, and current ramping is used to shape the current flow during initial energization to minimize injection lag and increase solenoid reliability.
    • The solenoid coil temperature changes, battery voltage levels, and circuit resistance can further affect injection timing, addressed by a strategy called current ramping.
    • The ECU monitors voltage and measures the time it takes to reach the threshold voltage needed to close the poppet valve, identifying open, shorted, and resistive electrical circuits, and generates fault codes such as Voltage High, Voltage Low, Current High, and Current Low.
    • Issues that could cause injector fault codes include open or resistive solenoid windings, short-circuits, and loose or intermittent wiring problems, particularly under heavy load causing intermittent fault codes and high fault code counts.
    • Technicians should carefully perform OEM recommended pinpoint tests and inspect the condition of wiring, harnesses, and connectors before replacing injectors when encountering such problems.
