System outline
The DCM 1.2 injection system used on the K9K engine is an electronically-managed high pressure injection system.
The fuel is compressed by a high pressure pump then stored in a rail that feeds the injectors. Injection takes place
when a current pulse is applied to the injector holders.
The amount injected is proportional to the rail pressure and the applied pulse length, and the start of injection is
synchronised with the start of the pulse.
The system includes two subsystems, which have different fuel pressure levels:
– the low pressure circuit contains the tank, the diesel fuel filter, the transfer pump and the injector holder return pipes,
– the high pressure circuit contains the high pressure pump, the rail, the injector holders and the high pressure pipes.
The injection system contains a number of sensors and actuators for controlling and monitoring the entire system.
Functions provided
Function: Fuel supply management (timing, flow and pressure).
Quantity of fuel injected and injection timing setting
The injection checking parameters are the quantities to be injected and their respective timing.
These are calculated by the computer using signals from the following sensors:
– Engine speed (Crankshaft +Cam for synchronisation).
– Accelerator pedal.
– Turbocharging pressure and air temperature (Turbocharger pressure).
– Coolant temperature.
– Air temperature.
– Air charge (Flow and Pressure).
– Pressure in the rail.
The quantities to be injected and their respective timing are converted into:
– a reference tooth,
– the time between this tooth and the start of the pulse,
– the time for which the supply to the injector holder is on.
Each injector holder is controlled by an electrical current which is sent according to previously calculated data. The
system makes one or two injections (one pilot injection, one main injection).
The general principle is to calculate an overall injected flow, which is then divided into the main injection flow and a
pilot injection flow to promote correct combustion and help reduce pollutant emissions.

Idling speed regulation
The computer handles the calculation of idling speed. This has to take account of the instantaneous power level to
be supplied, according to the following factors:
– engine coolant temperature,
– gear ratio engaged,
– battery charge,
– electrical consumers (Additional heating, Air conditioning, Fan Unit, electric windows, etc.) active or inactive,
– system faults detected.
Individual injector correction (C2I)
The DCM 1.2 system injectors must be calibrated with correction values so that their flow may be adjusted precisely.
Each injector is calibrated for different pressures on a test bench, and its specifications are shown on a label
attached to the body of the injector holders. These individual correction values are then entered into the computer
EEPROM, which can then control the injectors, taking their manufacturing variations into account.
Measuring the angular position (Cylinder reference sensor)
The angular position is measured using a magneto-inductive sensor triggered by machined teeth on the shaft
flywheel. This flywheel has sixty teeth separated by six degrees minus two missing teeth, that form a notch.
A second sensor (Hall effect) triggered by a machined tooth on the high pressure pump drive pulley (synchronised
with the camshaft), which rotates at half the engine speed, supplies an injection cycle running signal. By comparing
the signals from these two sensors, the computer's APS module (Angular Position Subsystem) is able to supply the
synchronisation components to the system assembly, namely:
– the angular position of the flywheel
– the speed and number of the active injector
– the injection cycle progress.
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 limit may be reached 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 status
Flow capacity function). This is part of normal operation.

Function: Air flow management
EGR valve control
The EGR system (Exhaust gas recirculation) 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.
Special feature of the K9K796 Euro 2 engine (Indonesia): The EGR solenoid valve is present on the vehicle, but not
used. It always remains closed. It must not be replaced on this vehicle (unless there is a mechanical fault).
Calculating the air flow
K9K 790 and 794 engines are not fitted with an air flowmeter. Instead, the amount of fresh inlet air is evaluated
based on the values supplied by the surrounding systems.
The (theoretical) air load is calculated using a model with various calculation parameters, which are:
– the inlet air temperature measured by a sensor located after the turbocharger and/or after the exchanger (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 a signal relating to the atmospheric pressure to
an analogue port on the micro-controller. If not, atmospheric pressure is recovered based on the turbocharger
pressure and the engine field.
For K9K 792 and 796 engines, the flow of fresh air entering the engine is measured by a hot-wire ratiometric sensor.
This flowmeter is used to manage the amount of exhaust gas to be recirculated to ensure optimum recirculation
rates. A fresh air temperature sensor is integrated into the flowmeter. Air flow measurement allows closed-loop
control via the EGR valve.
Turbocharger control
K9K 796 engine:
The turbocharging system is made up of a solenoid valve which is used to control the wastegate to adjust the
absolute pressure of the inlet circuit.
K9K 790, 792, 794 engines:
The turbocharger system is controlled by the inlet pressure and does not need to be controlled by the computer.
Pre-postheating actuation
Pre-postheating actuation consists of controlling the heater plugs and the preheating warning light on the instrument
panel. The heater plugs are activated by a preheating unit (controlled by the injection computer), and the power is
supplied by the battery. After the ignition is switched on a preheating delay is activated. The indicator light comes on
for the activation period which is dependent on the battery voltage, atmospheric pressure and coolant temperature.
If the temperature is below a certain threshold, a postheating function can be used to improve the combustion
stability, and consequently engine operation (reducing unburnt particles and pollutant emissions).

Functions included
Air conditioning management assistance
On models with air conditioning, the DCM 1.2 system allows the air conditioning to be deactivated under certain
operating conditions:
– when requested by the driver,
– when starting the engine,
– if the engine overheats (in order to reduce the power the engine has to supply),
– when the engine speed is kept at a very high level (to protect the compressor),
– during transition phases (eg. high acceleration demand for overtaking, anti-stalling and moving off). These
conditions are only taken into account if they do not occur repeatedly, so as to prevent system instabilities (erratic
deactivation),
– when certain faults appear.
Cold loop air conditioning management
The air conditioning system is a cold loop system and is managed by the injection computer which is responsible for:
– managing the cooling request according to passenger compartment controls and the refrigerant fluid pressure
value,
– calculating the power absorbed by the compressor from the refrigerant pressure,
– determining the fan unit commands according to the vehicle speed and the refrigerant fluid pressure.
The driver requests the air conditioning to be switched on by means of the ventilation selector coupled to a switch.
This cooling request may or may not be authorised depending on the refrigerant fluid pressure measured. If this
pressure is outside the operating limits, the cold loop program is not activated.
Thermal regulation of the passenger compartment heating circuit
Engines with direct injection systems are characterised by the direct injection of fuel into the combustion chamber.
This leads to heat being lost through the upper part of the engine and consequently, the cylinder head cooling
system is smaller in size.
The effect of this is that the temperature of the coolant which flows through this circuit rises more slowly. This
coolant is also used by the passenger compartment heating system. In very cold conditions, it is therefore difficult to
achieve a comfortable passenger compartment temperature quickly.
To reduce the time taken to warm up the system, air heating resistors, called passenger compartment heating
resistors, are fitted in the passenger compartment heating circuit. The DCM 1.2 injection computer determines
whether it is necessary to physically control the passenger compartment heating resistors. The injection computer
determines, on the one hand, limitation of the passenger compartment heating resistor power control depending on
the alternator charge, and on the other hand, the inhibition of the passenger compartment heating resistors
according to the engine speed, load and vehicle speed.Note:
Fan unit control requests are made from the injection computer.
These requests depend on the air conditioning, but also on the engine coolant temperature and vehicle speed.
