start of fuel delivery is easier to calculate than the actual start
of fuel injection, the fuel injection system and the engine are
synchronized at the start of fuel delivery. This is possible
because there is a defined relationship betweenthe start of fuel
delivery and the start of fuel injection.1 ignition delay2 Fuel

injection timing (control)
If the start of fuel injection is advanced, thisincreases the
ignition delay and increases thetemperature in the combustion
chamber and hencethe oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions. If the
start of fuel injection is retarded, this can leadto incomplete
combustion and thus incompletelyburnt hydrocarbons (HC). In
addition, thecombustion must be terminated before the exhaustvalve
opens.Exhaust emissions
During combustion, the main products are water(H2O) and carbon
dioxide (CO2) plus tinyconcentrations of:-- carbon monoxide (CO),--
unburnt hydrocarbons (HC),-- oxides of nitrogen (NOx) as a
by-product,-- sulphur dioxide (SO2) and sulphuric acid(H2SO4),--
particulates.

injection and engine management systemsEEC V powertrain control
module (PCM)
A 5th generation EEC powertrain control module (EEC V PCM) with
a 104-pin connector is used.The PCM controls:-- the quantity of
fuel injected and start of fuel delivery,-- exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) system,-- glow plug control,-- PATS,-- cooling
fans,-- torque control (stability assist, traction control),-- air
conditioning compressor,-- charging pressure,-- generator (smart
charging),-- diagnostics,-- fault strategies,-- communication with
other vehicle systems.The PCM evaluates the incoming signals from
the sensors, compares these with the corresponding stored data in
the software and produces signals to control the actuators.The PCM
contains several analogue/digital converters. These convert
analogue input signals (e.g. CHT, MAP and IAT signals) into digital
signals (counts) required by the PCM for further processing.

programmable read only memory (FEEPROM) -- contains enginestrategy
and engine calibration7 CAN data bus controllerPassive anti-theft
system (PATS)
The passive anti-theft system (PATS) acts on the engine
management system. This ensures that the engine cannot be started
by unauthorized persons.The starter motor is disconnected and the
quantity of fuel to be injected is reduced to 0. The glow plug
warning indicator flashes with a frequency of 4 Hz. PATSThe
hardware of the phase 2 PATS system is located on the board of the
PCM (combined PATS).Sensors
The MAF sensor works on the hot wire principle and supplies an
analogue voltage signal between 0 and 5 volts.The MAF sensor is
used purely to control the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) (closed
loop) and not for fuel metering unlike on a petrol engine.
The MAP sensor supplies the PCM with an analogue voltage signal
between 0 and 5 volts. The MAP sensor measures the charging
pressure (boost pressure) in the intake manifold. The higher the
charging pressure, the greater the maximum possible quantity of
fuel which can be injected according to the position of the
accelerator pedal or engine load.Mass air flow (MAF)The MAP signal
influences the following functions:-- quantity of fuel to be
injected,-- EGR system,-- turbocharger controlSensors
Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
The IAT sensor supplies the PCM with an analogue voltage signal
between 0 and 5 volts. The IAT sensor measures the intake
air/charge air temperature.The signal is used as a correction
factor to take account of the effect of the temperature on the
density of the charge air.The IAT signal influences the following
functions:-- quantity of fuel to be injected,-- start of fuel
delivery,-- EGR system.
Temperature and manifold absolute pressure (T-MAP) sensorThe
T-MAP sensor combines the IAT and MAP sensors in one component.
Therefore, the T-MAP sensor also performs the same functions as the
IAT and MAP sensors.The use of the T-MAP sensor or the IAT and MAP
sensors depends on the variant and has no technical
background.Sensors
Cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor The cylinder head
temperature (CHT) sensor supersedes the ECT sensor and the
temperature sensor for the temperature gauge in the instrument
cluster.The CHT sensor is screwed into the cylinder head and
measures the temperature of the material in place of the
temperature of thecoolant.If the CHT sensor is removed, a new
sensormust always be fitted and tightened to exactlythe specified
torque. Otherwise, damage to thesensor (e.g. due to deformation of
the tip of thesensor) cannot be excluded.Example showing location
of CHT sensor on2.4L Duratorq DI1 Cylinder head2 Sensor tip3 CHT
sensor
The CHT sensor is a thermistor, which is a resistor with a
negative temperature coefficient (NTC resistor).Sensors
At high temperatures the resolution of the CHT sensor is not
large enough to cover the entire temperature range from --40.C to
214.C adequately. Therefore, the temperature characteristic is
shifted in the PCM by activating a second resistor.1 PCM2 Second
resistor (pull-up resistor)3 First resistor4 CHT sensor (NTC
resistor)5 Sensor output signal6 Analogue/digital converter7
Microprocessor8 ECT sensor as comparisonThe voltage signal is
digitized in the analogue/digital converter and passed in the form
of counts to the microprocessor which gives thesecorresponding
temperature values.

(de)activated3 Second characteristicA CountsB Voltage (volts)C
Material (sensor) temperature The first characteristic covers the
material temperature from --40.C to approximately 78.C. Then, a
transistor in the PCM activates a secondpull-up resistor to extend
the sensor signal function. This second characteristic covers the
material temperature from approximately 62.C to 214.C.Cylinder head

Actuation of the temperature gauge and glowplug warning
indicator
If the sensor malfunctions or the engine overheats, the engine
overheating safety function is activated. In this mode the engine
power output is reduced by injecting less fuel. If the engine
temperaturecontinues rising, the engine is stopped depending on the
vehicle variant.Cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensorSensors
Crankshaft position (CKP) sensorThe CKP sensor is an inductive
pulse generator. It scans a uniform ring of cast teeth on the
circumference of the flywheel.In all, there are 2 x 17 cast teeth
on the circumference of the flywheel, with two extended cast teeth
indicating bottom dead center and top dead center with a consequent
interval of 180 degrees between them.
A Higher engine speedB Lower engine speed1 Zero origins: gap
narrow/amplitude large2 Zero origins: gap wide/amplitude smallThe
engine speed is derived from the distance between the origins of
this voltage signal. The shorter this distance, the higher the
engine speed.In addition, the acceleration of the flywheel during
each power stroke can be calculated from CKP signal.
SensorsVehicle speed sensor (VSS)The VSS works on the Hall
effect principle (noton Transit) and emits a rectangular
voltagesignal the frequency of which is proportional tothe
instantaneous vehicle speed.The signal is used:-- for gear
calculations,-- as information for the trip computer,-- as
information about the vehicle speed for the instrument cluster,--
as information for the speed control system incorporated in the
PCM.
The APP sensor is a resistor which can be varied by changing the
angle of the accelerator pedal. This takes the form of a sliding
contact potentiometer (in all 3 potentiometers). If two
potentiometers should fail, the engine only runs at fast idle
speed.Actutators
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) solenoid valve and boost
pressure solenoid valveThis vacuum is controlled by curent signals
fromthe PCM so that the charging pressure (boostpressure) is
controlled through a vacuumdiaphragm unit and the EGR flow is
controlledthrough the EGR valve.The current of these signals
determines the vacuumwhich passes to the EGR valve or to thevacuum
diaphragm unit of the turbocharger.

solenoid valve
The solenoid valves are supplied with vacuum by the vacuum
pump.Components of distributor-type fuel injection pump
Pump control unit The pump control unit is mounted on the
distributor-type fuel injection pump from above. It is fitted with
a 9-pin connector which connects the pump control unit to the PCM
and through which the two control modules communicate.The exchange
of data takes place through the CAN databus and hard-wired
circuits. The pump control unit is cooled with fuel which passes
through a channel under the pump control unit housing. The pump
control unit performs the calculations for the actuating signals
for the high-pressure solenoid valve and the fuel injection timing
solenoid valve from the information provided by the rotation angle
sensor and the PCM. On the underside of the pump control unit there
is a fuel temperature sensor to measure the instantaneous fuel
temperature.

(vane cell pump) The fuel injection timing solenoid valve is
located on the underside of the fuel injection pump in the fuel
outlet passage from the fuel injection timing device. The fuel
injection timing solenoid valve acts as avariable throttle through
rapid cycling of the valve needle. This allows it to influence the
control pressure all the time so that the fuel injection timing
device can adopt any position between advance and retard.Components
of distributor-type fuel injection pump (continued)
Rotation angle sensor
Rotation angle sensor in VP 44 The rotation angle sensor is
mounted so that it can rotate on a bearing ring which is fixed to
the roller ring (VP 30) or cam ring (VP 44) and the fuel injection
timing device. The rotation angle sensor is mounted rotatably
asthis must produce its signal in relation to the angular position
of the cam ring (VP 30) or roller ring (VP 44).Components of
distributor-type fuel injection pump (continued)

device connection7 Tooth gap1 Flexible film conductor2 Rotation
angle sensor3 Rotatable bearing ring4 Pulse generating rotor (fixed
on driving shaft) The pulse for the rotation angle sensor is
providedby a pulse generating rotor which is fixed on thedriving
shaft. It has four tooth gaps (correspondingto the number of
cylinders of the engine) spreadevenly around its
circumference.Rotation angle sensor The sequence of teeth and tooth
gaps is scanned By a rotation angle sensor. The rotation angle
sensor produces its signal inrelation to the angular position of
the rollerring/cam ring. When the fuel injection timing is altered
by the fuel injection timing device, the roller ring/cam ring and
hence the rotation angle sensor is turned in the advance or retard
direction.The instantaneous position of the fuel injection timing
device required to control the fuel injection timing is also
determined by comparison of the signals from the CKP sensor and the
rotation angle sensor.VP 30/VP 44 fuel injection
systemOperation
Calculation for fuel metering
For calculations for the fuel metering twodifferent strategies
are employed:-- engine starting,-- engine running.Calculations when
starting engine1 Fuel injector2 VP 30/VP 443 Signal for quantity of
fuel to be injectedQuantity of fuel for startingWhen starting, the
quantity of fuel to be injected is calculated according to the
engine temperature and engine speed. The quantity of fuel for
starting is provided from when the ignition is switched on until a
certain minimum engine speed is reached. The driver has no
influence on the quantity for starting.4 PCM5 Cylinder head
temperature (CHT) sensor6 Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
Normal drivingFor normal driving, the quantity of fuel injected
is calculated from the following main inputs:-- accelerator pedal
position (APP),-- engine speed. In addition, the calculation for
the quantity of fuel to be injected is influenced by other factors
(correction factors) such as engine temperatureand charging
pressure for example.VP 30/VP 44 fuel injection systemOperation
1 Accelerator pedal position calculation 2 Bucking damper3
Calculating unit4 Limiter5 Signal to fuel injection pump6 Idle
speed calculation While the engine is running, the fuel metering
carried out by the PCM is based on one of the following two
calculations:-- idle speed,-- accelerator pedal position. Both
calculations are carried out in parallel andindependently of one
another all the time. The calculated values based on idle speed and
accelerator pedal position are compared with one another by a
calculating unit. This calculating unit then decides which
calculation (idle speed or accelerator pedal position) is used as
output signal for the fuel injection pump. The calculating unit
always selects the greater value for the quantity of fuel to be
injected.Calculation for fuel meteringVP 30/VP 44 fuel injection
systemOperation
Calculation for fuel metering (continued)Bucking damperA
software filter is provided between the accelerator pedal position
calculation and the calculating unit. If the accelerator pedal is
depressed or released suddenly, this results in a substantial
change in desired quantity of fuel injected and hence the torque
delivered.This abrupt change in load could produce unpleasant
bucking oscillations (speed fluctuations)of the powertrain in its
elastic mountings. The bucking damper reduces these as follows:--
When the engine speed rises, comparatively less fuel is injected;
when the engine speed falls, more fuel is injected.
In addition, the software filter prevents a suddendrop in engine
speed when changing gear.Sudden movement of accelerator pedal1

Time
VP 30/VP 44 fuel injection systemOperationStopping the engineThe
way in which the diesel engine works, the engine can only be
stopped by cutting the fuel supply.With the fully electronic engine
management, this is achieved by the PCM specifying quantity of fuel
to be injected = 0. The corresponding solenoid valves for the fuel
injection are no longer actuated and the engine is stopped.Cylinder
balancing On top of the external loads described previously there
is the matter of combustion quality and theinternal frictional
forces which must be compensated. These alter minutely but
continuously throughout the entire service life of the engine. In
addition, the individual cylinders do not always produce the same
torque over the entire life of theengine. The reason for this is
mechanical tolerances and changes during the life of the engine.
Thesewould result in uneven engine running, particularly at idle.
The cylinder balancing system measures the accelerations of the
crankshaft after eachcombustion operation with the aid of the CKP
sensor and compares these with one another.
The quantity of fuel to be injected into each cylinder is
adjusted individually on the basis of the differences in engine
speed so that as far as possible all the cylinders deliver the same
amount of torque.VP 30/VP 44 fuel injection systemOperation
In the Ford Mondeo pilot injection is employed with the VP 30/VP
44 fuel injection system. Pilot injection is an advance fuel
injection operation controlled on a time basis by the fuel
injection pump in addition to the normal two-stage injection
process (two-spring nozzleholder principle).1 Top dead center

pressure in cylinder4 Pressure variation with pilot injection5
Nozzle needle lift6 Nozzle needle lift during pilot injection7
Nozzle needle lift during main injection8 Crankshaft angleThe pilot
injection preconditions the combustion chamber and also has the
following effects:-- The compression pressure is raised slightly by
a preliminary reaction or partial combustion, shortening the
ignition lag of themain injection operation and reducing the
increase in combustion pressure (producing smoother
combustion).
These effects reduce combustion noise and Nox emissions.Fuel

Fuel injection timing device6 Camring7 Pulse generating rotor for
rotation angle sensorThe pump control unit is an intelligent
actuator. The information on the start of fuel delivery and the
quantity of fuel to be injected received from the PCM is converted
into actuating signals for thehigh-pressure solenoid valve. In
addition, the pump control unit actuates the fuel injection timing
device to set the desired start of fuel delivery (control of start
of fuel delivery).
To control the fuel injection timing, the pump control unit
requires the pulses from the rotation angle sensor as a reference
mark (closed loop).VP 30/VP 44 fuel injection systemOperation
Fuel injection timing The fuel injection timing system,
consisting of the rotation angle sensor, fuel injection timing
device and fuel injection timing solenoid valve, has the task of
advancing or retarding the start of fuel delivery depending on
engine speed, load, noise and exhaust emissions and engine
temperature andambient air temperature. The timing is set by the
pump control unit which actuates the fuel injection timing solenoid
valve accordingly with pulsed signals.
Precise angle of actuation of high-pressure solenoid valve The
instantaneous angular position (advance setting of the fuel
injection timing device) is determined precisely by means of the
rotation angle sensor. Actuation must take place at the correct
angle to ensure that both the closing point and the opening point
of the high-pressure solenoid valve occur at the right time during
the corresponding lifting movement of the cam of the high-pressure
pump.1 PCM2 Pump control unit3 High-pressure solenoid valve4 Fuel

(continued)Synchronization of fuel injection pump When installed in
position, the fuel injection pump is in a fixed position. This
means that the start of fuel delivery cannot be adjusted by turning
the fuel injection pump. Therefore, mechanical tolerances
(extension of the driving chain/ toothed belt and material
tolerances)require synchronization of the system.Safety functionThe
pump control unit of the fuel injection pump is monitored for
malfunctions by the PCM. For this, the pump control unit sends a
monitoring signal to the PCM every 50 ms.Configuration of pump
control unit with PCMThe pump control unit and the PCM are matched
to one another as regards engine management and passive anti-theft
system. This means that after the fuel injection pump is changed,
the new pump control unit must be configured with the PCM and vice
versa. The configuration must be carried outwith the aid of
worldwide diagnostic system

systemVP 30/VP 44 fuel injection system Operation
The combustion temperatures are raised further by the use of the
direct injection process.Both lead to increased formation of oxides
of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust.
An EGR system is used to keep these NOx levels in the exhaust
within the required limits.The exhaust gas recirculation takes
place at partialload by mixing the exhaust gases with the
intakeair. This reduces the concentration of oxygen in the intake
air. In addition, the exhaust gas has a higher specific thermal
capacity than air and the water content in the recirculated exhaust
gas also lowers the combustion temperatures. These factors reduce
the combustion temperatures (and hence the Nox level) and also
reduce the quantity of exhaust gas expelled.The PCM requires
feedback on the recirculated quantity of exhaust gas. Two different
systems are used for this which differ through thefollowing
components:-- position sensor in the EGR valve (on engines with a
turbocharger controlled by a wastegate),-- MAF sensor (on engines
with a variable turbocharger). In both systems, the EGR valve is
actuated by vacuum from the EGR solenoid valve. The pulse duty
cycle with which the EGR solenoid valce is actuated by the PCM
determines the vacuum which reaches the EGR valve.
System with position sensor in EGR valve
The position sensor in the EGR valve tells thePCM the
instantaneous position of the EGR valve.From this the PCM can
determine theinstantaneously recirculated quantity of exhaust
gasdepending on the intake manifold pressure (MAP),forming a closed
loop.System with MAF sensor The quantity of exhaust gas
recirculated when the EGR valve is opened directly affects the
measurement of the MAF sensor. During the exhaust gas
recirculation, the reduced air mass measured by the MAF sensor
exactly matches the value of the recirculated exhaust gases.If the
quantity of recirculated exhaust gas becomes excessive, the induced
air mass drops to a certain limit. The PCM then reduces the level
of recirculated exhaust gases, forming a closed loop.

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system
Control of charging or boost pressureVP 30/VP 44 fuel injection
system Operation In the variable turbocharger the charging or
boostpressure is controlled by adjusting the blades. Inthis way the
optimum charging pressure can be setfor every operating state. When
a control adjustment is required, the vanes ofthe variable
turbocharger are adjusted by the boostpressure solenoid valve. The
actual charging pressure is measured by meansof the manifold
absolute pressure (MAP) sensor.The set value depends on the engine
speed and thequantity of fuel injected and on the correctionfactors
for the intake air temperature (IAT) andbarometric pressure (BARO).
If the charging or boost pressure control malfunctions, the fuel
metering is used to reduce the engine power output.

Glow plug controlVP 30/VP 44 fuel injection system Operation The
PCM incorporates a glow plug control systemwhich is divided into
two areas:Pre-heat The PCM receives the corresponding temperature
signal from the CHT sensor.The preheat time is dependent on the
temperature signal (low temperature = longer preheat
time).Post-heat The post-heat phase follows the preheat
operationafter the engine has been started. The post-heat operation
reduces engine noise,improves idling and decreases the emission
ofhydrocarbons (HC) through more efficientcombustion shortly after
starting. The post-heat operation is carried on up to anengine
speed of approximately 2500 rpm.Once the engine speed exceeds 2500
rpm, the postheat phase is stopped. This increases the servicelife
of the glow plugs.

fuses (each 50 A)7 Glow plugs
After the engine is stopped and at certainintervals of time
while in use, this data istransferred to the EEPROM. To guarantee
this,the power supply relay remains activated for 1.2seconds after
the ignition is switched off (power latch). 1 PCM connector2
Microprocessor3 Random access memory (RAM)4 EEPROM
5 PATS6 Power supply relay7 Fuse8 BatteryPCM fault strategy With
diesel engines the PCM uses the EEPROM to store diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs) and other data. The EEPROM is a non-volatile read only
memory, which means that the data contained init is protected even
if the power supply is cut (e.g. by disconnecting the battery).
During a trip, all new diagnostic trouble codesand engine
adaptation data (e.g. fuel adaptationdata) are initially stored in
the random accessmemory (RAM) of the PCM. After the ignition is
switched on, the DTCs stored in the EEPROM are copied to the random
access memory (RAM) again.VP 30/VP 44 fuel injection system
Operation Electronic Diagnostics
General Apart from knowledge of the principles ofelectronic
diagnostics, good system knowledge andexperience of vehicle and
system diagnostics areessential for conducting diagnostic
checks.
The symbols shown in the graphics in this lesson (refer to the
illustration) have the following meaning:1 Carry out visual checks
and/or general checks(voltage or resistance checks).2 One or more
diagnostic trouble codes is/arestored in the PCM.3 The preheat
warning indicator is illuminated.4 Missing signal (controlled
component inoperative)5 Faulty signal Before specific tests or one
of the testroutines are conducted using the WDS, obviousfaults
should be eliminated by conducting a visualcheck, for example:--
loose wiring connections,-- faulty fuses and relays-- severe
contamination.-- faulty hoses and vacuum lines,-- blocked filters
or air in the fuel system The WDS offers two different test
methodsdepending on the vehicle:-- menu walker,-- tools.

Electronic Diagnostics
Passive anti-theft system (PATS) When the ignition is switched
on, the PATS LED must go out after three seconds (system OK). If
the PATS LED starts to flash with a constant rapid frequency (4 Hz)
after three seconds, there is a fault in the system. After one
minute the LED emits a flashing code which indicates that PATS has
intervened. The result is:-- the starter motor will not respond,--
no fuel injection can take place.Diagnostics Wrong key or disturbed

Fault rectification Rectify the obvious causes of the concern
found during the visual check before carrying out any further
checks. Conduct the WDS test routine in conjunction with the
flashing code index, fault finding chart and system checks using
the current workshop literature.
When programming a new PATS, always check the vehicle battery
voltage.
When the fuel injection pump (VP 30/VP 44) is changed, the PCU
and the PCM must be matched to one another again with the aid of
the WDS (configuration). If there is a fault in the PATS, the
engine cannot be started.

that the PCU electrical connector is seatedsecurely and free of
corrosion. Check the wiring for short circuits and wiringbreaks.
The exchange of data between the PCU and thePCM may be disturbed or
interrupted. The period of the monitoring signal from the PCUto the
PCM may not be correct or the monitoringsignal may be missing. Dirt
and/or air in the fuel low-pressure system. Carry out the WDS test
routine.NOTE: If for example the DTC P1608 is displayed during the
WDS test routine and the PCU monitoring signal is different or
missing (the preheat warning indicator is illuminated), this
definitely does not indicate that the fuel injection pump is faulty
and must be changed. The EEC V engine management system also uses
this DTC when the fuel injection pump relay is tripped out for
other reasons.
