System outline
The DDCR injection system used on the K9 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 occurs when
a current pulse is applied to the injector holders. The injected flow is proportional to the rail pressure and to
the applied pulse length, and the start of injection is phased with the start of the pulse.
The circuit comprises two subsystems, which are distinguished by the fuel pressure level.
– The low pressure system includes the tank, diesel fuel filter, transfer pump and injector holder return pipes.
– The high pressure circuit contains the high pressure pump, the rail, the injector holders and the high pressure tubes.
Finally, there are a certain number of sensors and regulating 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 adjustment
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 load (Flow and Pressure)
• Rail pressure
• Flowmeter
• Turbocharging solenoid valve
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
An electrical current (pulse) is sent to each injector holder according to previously calculated data. The system
makes one or two injections (1 pilot injection, 1 main injection). The general principle is to calculate an overall
injected flow which will then be divided into a main injection flow and a pilot injection flow, to help the combustion
process work properly and to reduce pollutant emissions.
An accelerometer is used to monitor some of the fuel injection deviation. This has several roles:
• Protecting the engine by detecting injection leaks (disabled on the basic vehicle).
• Checking the pilot quantity by measuring deviation and dispersion
• By changing both the duration and timing of the injection, the quantity of fuel injected and the mixture ignition timing
can be adjusted.

Rail pressure check
The quality of combustion is influenced by the size of the atomised droplets in the cylinder. In the combustion
chamber, smaller fuel droplets will have time to burn fully, and will not produce smoke or unburned particles. To
meet the pollution requirements, the droplet size, and therefore the size of the injection holes, must be reduced.
With smaller holes, less fuel will be able to be introduced at a given pressure, which limits the power. To handle this
drawback, the injected fuel flow has to be increased, which means a pressure increase (and more apertures on the
injector nozzles). For the DDCR injection system, the pressure reaches 1400 bar in the rail, and must be constantly
regulated. The measuring circuit consists of an active pressure sensor on the rail connected to an analogue port on
the computer.
The High Pressure pump is supplied at low pressure (5bar) by a built-in transfer pump. This pump supplies the rail.
The rail filling pressure is controlled by the filling valve (IMV) and the discharge pressure is controlled by the injector
valves. This compensates for pressure drops. The filling actuator enables the high pressure pump to supply just
the exact quantity of diesel fuel required to maintain the rail pressure. This mechanism minimises the heat
generated and improves engine output.
In order to discharge the rail using the injector valves, the valves are actuated by short electrical pulses which are:
– short enough not to open the injector (and pass through the return circuit from the injectors),
– long enough to open the valves and discharge the rail.
The fuel surplus is sent back to the fuel filter or the tank, according to its flow. If there is no IMV control, the rail
pressure is limited by a discharge valve fitted on the pump.
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 engaged
– Battery charging
– Electrical consumers (Heating elements, Air conditioning, Fan assembly, Heated windscreen, etc.) active or
inactive
Individual injector correction (C2I)
The DDCR system injectors must be calibrated with corrective values to adjust their flow 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 written to the computer EEPROM, which can then
actuate the injectors by taking into account their manufacturing dispersion.

WITH FLOWMETER (K9K 728)
The flow of fresh air entering the engine is given by a hot wire ratiometric sensor. This flow sensor is used to
manage the amount of exhaust gas to be recirculated to ensure optimum recirculation rates. A fresh air temperature
sensor is built into the flowmeter.
Air flow measurement allows closed-loop control via the EGR valve.
Besides electrical faults with the sensor, there is a consistency test between the measured air flow and an estimated
air flow without EGR.
This flow evaluates the amount of fresh inlet air, based on the values supplied by the surrounding systems:
– the inlet air temperature measured by a sensor located after the turbocharger and/or after the intercooler (if fitted),
– the turbocharging pressure,
– the engine speed.
Pre-postheating actuation
Pre-postheating actuation consists of controlling the heater plugs and preheating warning light on the instrument
panel. The heater plugs are activated by relays, and the power is supplied from the battery. After the ignition is
switched on. Preheating is activated for a period of time. The warning light is illuminated for an activation period that
depends on the battery voltage, the atmospheric pressure, and the coolant temperature. When 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).
Turbocharger control solenoid valve actuation
The turbocharger system comprises a solenoid valve that is used to actuate the vanes (or wastegate) to create an
overpressure or a vacuum in the inlet circuit.

Functions included
Air conditioning management assistance
For vehicles with air conditioning, the DDCR system can switch off the air conditioning under certain engine
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 (e.g. under heavy acceleration when overtaking, anti-stalling and moving off strategies).
These conditions are only taken into account when they do not occur repeatedly, in order to prevent system
instabilities (erratic deactivations),
– when certain faults appear.
Cold loop air conditioning management
The air conditioning is the cold loop type and its management shared between several computers. The injection
computer is responsible for:
– managing demand for cold air according to the passenger compartment commands and the pressure value,
– determining the power absorbed by the compressor from the pressure,
– determining the fan unit commands according to vehicle speed and pressure.
The driver requests the air conditioning to be switched on by means of the ventilation selector coupled to a switch.
The cold air request is authorised or denied depending on the 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
In a direct injection engine, fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber. This leads to heat being lost
through the upper part of the engine and consequently, the cylinder head cooling circuit is smaller in size.
The effect of this is that the temperature of the coolant flowing through this circuit rises more slowly. However, 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 limit the time taken to warm up the system, air heating resistors, called RCHs, are fitted into the passenger
compartment heating circuit. The UCH decides whether the RCH are required, the UPC physically actuates
the RCH, and the injection computer determines whether to limit the power supplied to the RCH depending on
alternator charge, and also whether to disable them according to engine speed, load and vehicle speed. NOTE:
Fan unit actuation requests can be made by the injection computer, but these are sent on the CAN. These requests
depend on the air conditioning but also on the coolant temperature and vehicle speed.
