harsh conditions:
Towing trailer or caravan;
Dusty roads;
Frequent short trips (less than 7-8 km) with outside temperatures below freezing;
Engine frequently left idling or running long distances at low speed (door-to-door delivery for example),
The engine mounts connect engine and body.
They are designed to withstand engine weight and torque loads.
Engine mounts feature blocks made of metal and rubber that dampen engine vibration so as to
significantly reduce the amount of vibration transmitted to the body.
TYPE
The engine support system is a special baricentre system.
The engine is retained by two mounts (one on gearbox side and one on timing gear side) and a torque
linkage
.
3.1.3 Crankcase and lower block
The crankcase is made of cast iron.
There are five main bearing housings.
Suitable coolant and oil galleries are provided in the crankcase walls.
Spray jets installed in crankcase bottom use engine oil to cool the pistons and lubricate the piston pins.
Crankcase and lower block are sealed with sealant.

The one-piece cylinder head is made from aluminium-silicon alloy.
Training Academy
Valve opening is controlled by two chain-driven hollow-section overhead camshafts; cams are fitted onto
the shafts; camshafts are installed in the upper head section.
The four valves per cylinder are located in their respective guides and operated by rocker arms actuated
by the cams of the camshafts; hydraulic tappets keep the rocker arms in contact with the valves.
The valve guides are an interference fit in the seats in the cylinder head. The inner bore is bored to
specification after installation using a special boring tool.
Unlike cylinder heads with a prechamber, the whole combustion process occurs inside the combustion
chamber in the piston.
The cylinder head is made up of the following components:
The head accommodates: intake ports; exhaust ports; valve passages; coolant galleries; oil galleries;
injector holes, glow plug holes, bolt holes for fastening to the engine block.
The head is installed on top of the cylinders; the aluminium alloy construction combines such advantages
as ligthweight, compression strength and high heat conduction.
Two centring bushes ensure correct location of the upper head section.
Head gasket
The gasket between cylinder head and crankcase is composed of three layers of stainless steel coated
with special heat-resistant rubber material.
While head gaskets of three different thicknesses are used at the factory, replacement gaskets come in
one standard thickness only. Factory gaskets are differentiated by notches as follows
- 1 notch : thickness class 1
- 2 notches: thickness class 2
- 3 notches: thickness class 3

3.1.5 Camshafts
The timing sensor detects the position of the intake camshaft drive gear to determine the current phase
of engine operation.
The timing sensor is located on the engine oil filler cover on the upper head section.
The camshafts are made from steel and feature a
hollow design
The crankshaft is made of carbon steel and rests on five main bearing housings with plain bearings
in-between.
Crankshaft end float is determined by the half bearing housed at the central main bearing housing.
Eight counterweights set at 180° balance the rotating masses to provide perfect engine balance.

The dual-mass flywheel is secured to the crankshaft by 8 screws.
The flywheel has 3 centring pins for the clutch mechanism
The flywheel is an energy storage device that stores energy during the power stroke and gives up energy
during the combustion stroke to smooth out engine rotation.
Flywheel size is designed to enable engine idling and overcome friction developed during idling.The DVA
dual-mass flywheel (or clutch flywheel) consists of two separate masses for crankshaft and gearbox main
shaft with a torsional damping system in-between.
Resonance points, normally found in the 800 to 2200 rpm range with conventional flywheels, occur at lower
rpms, namely outside the operating range.
This flywheel design offers the following advantages over conventional flywheels:
- pulsing engine power is dampened resulting in less transmission noise;
- less overall noise translates into less in-cab noise.
The clutch disk (with springs) located between the dual-mass flywheel and the gearbox has lower inertia
to enable smoother gearshifts.
3.1.8 Pistons and connecting rods
CONSTRUCTION
The pistons are obtained from aluminium alloy castings; the connecting rods are forged from hardened
and tempered steel and split to obtain the con rod caps by the fracture splitting method.
The pistons have a recess for the combustion chamber.
The pistons and con rod small ends are joined by floating piston pins. Piston pins are restrained by two
circlips fitted in grooves in the piston pin sleeves.
1 – Mass integral with crankshaft.
2 – Mass integral with gearbox main shaft.
To ensure correct piston position, the mark on the piston must be pointing to the timing gear side

3.1.9 Camshaft drive
The timing system is a double overhead camshaft system with four valves per cylinder and hydraulic
tappets.
Drive is transmitted by two drive chains:
- a double 3/8” chain transmits drive from the crankshaft to the oil pump/vacuum pump and high pressure
pump shafts;
- a single chain transmits drive from the high pressure pump shaft to the camshafts.
The camshaft drive gears are interchangeable and feature slots for the sensor.
Each rocker arm is kept in contact with its valve by a cam and hydraulic tappet to eliminate the need for
periodic adjustments
The intake air is filtered and conveyed to the exhaust gas turbocharger; before reaching the engine, the
compressed air is cooled in the air-air heat exchanger (Intercooler).

High pressure pump
GENERAL’
The CP3.2 fuel pump of the Common Rail
system is called Radialjet pump because
pumping action is accomplished by three
pumping elements (pistons) arranged
radially in relation to the axis of rotation of
the pump shaft. The three pistons are
spaced 120° apart.
The quantity of fuel sent to the pumping
pistons is controlled by a pressure regulator
governed by the engine control unit
Pump pistons are operated by a rotating triangular cam integral with pump shaft. The rotating cam moves
a mechanical element (tappet) linking it to piston foot. Cam to tappet contact is ensured by a spring.
Each pumping unit has an intake valve and delivery ball valve. Fuel from the three delivery valves is
collected in a single point inside the pump and conveyed to a common manifold through a single duct. A
peculiar feature of this pump is that it is lubricated and cooled by the fuel circulating inside it or through
suitable ports.
Delivery pressure is controlled by a low-pressure solenoid valve installed at the pump inlet end so as to
compress just the amount of fuel needed to achieve required pressure according to ECU mapping.
The main features of the Radialjet pump are outlined below:
- type: Radialjet radial piston pump
- number of pistons: 3
- maximum operating pressure: 1600 bar
- feeding: Diesel fuel at 3.5 ÷ 5.0 bar
- lubrication: by Diesel fuel fed to pump
- cooling: by Diesel fuel fed to pump
Note: The high pressure pump cannot be serviced; do not remove or disturb the retaining screws.
OPERATION
The pump is driven by the crankshaft via a double chain and turns at the same speed as the engine. In
this injection system, valve timing and injection duration are controlled by the electroni c control system
and the pump simply maintains the fuel in the manifold at the required pressure.
The figure below shows the layout of pump hydraulic feeding system.
(a) 4.15 bar < p < 5.35 bar ; (b) 3.5 bar < p < 5.0 bar ; (c) p < 0.8 bar (d) 0.3 bar < p < 0.8 bar

Fuel regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is installed in the low-pressure circuit of the CP3.2 pump.
The pressure regulator meters the amount of fuel delivered to the high-pressure circuit according to the
commands it receives directly from the engine control unit
The main components of the pressure regulator are listed below:
- connector,
- body,
- solenoid,
- preload spring,
- shutter cylinder.
The pressure regulator is normally open unless it is receiving any input signals; in this condition, the
pump will be delivering its maximum flow rate.
The engine control unit varies fuel delivery in the high-pressure circuit by partially closing or opening the
fuel pipe sections in the low pressure circuit via a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal
When the engine control unit governs the flow regulator (via PWM signal), the solenoid (1) is energised
and displaces the magnetic core (2).
The core causes the shutter cylinder (3) to move in an axial direction and fuel flow is restricted.
When the solenoid (1) is de-energized, the magnetic core is pushed into its rest position by the preload
spring (3).
In this condition, the shutter cylinder (4) is in the position that provides a fully unrestricted fuel flow.
1 – Solenoid
2 – Magnetic core
3 – Preload spring
4 – Shutter cylinder
The inertia switch is located under the dashboard on passenger side. In the event of a collision, it cuts off
the fuel pump ground connection to shut off fuel delivery to the injection system.
It contains a ferromagnetic ball held in place in its tapered seat by a permanent magnet.
When vehicle deceleration exceeds a certain threshold due to a collision, the ball breaks free from its
seat and hits a switch, so that fuel pump relay ground is switched to the body computer.
This cuts off pump supply, releases the door locks and turns on the interior lighting.
The switch features a flexible cover to enable resetting.
NOTE: If you notice a burning smell or any leaks after an impact (including a minor collision), do no reset
the switch until you have located and repaired the trouble, or a fire may result. If there are no leaks and
the vehicle is capable of restarting, press the button to activate the fuel pump.
This system recirculates part of the exhaust gases to the intake under certain particular operating
conditions.
This lowers peak temperature in the combustion chamber so as to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx)
formation. The engine control unit recirculates a portion of the exhaust gases taken from the exhaust
manifold back to the engine intake.
To this end, the engine control unit processes the inputs from:
- atmospheric pressure sensor,
- water pressure sensor,
- engine rpm sensor,
- accelerator pedal potentiometer
and pilots both the vacuum control solenoid valve and the throttle valve via a PWM signal according to
the mapping stored in its memory.
Each time the engine control unit signals it to do so, the vacuum control solenoid valve opens a
connection between the servo brake vacuum circuit and the EGR circuit. This creates a certain amount of
vacuum in the EGR circuit according to the command signal. Vacuum operates the E.G.R. pneumatic
valve that retracts and lifts a shutter to open an exhaust gas passage to the intake.
This creates a connection between the exhaust and intake manifolds, so that part of the exhaust gases
flow into the intake manifold.
Exhaust gases are cooled while flowing through the heat exchanger and then conveyed into the throttle
valve chamber where they are mixed with the air from the intercooler and delivered to the intake manifold;
in the meantime, the engine control unit adjusts the amount of fuel injected into the cylinders depending
on the amount of exhaust gas recirculated.
When engine operating conditions are such that no gas recirculation is required (start-up, cold engine,
idle speed, load request, high altitude), the ECU sends no control signal to the vacuum control solenoid
valve. The solenoid valve closes the connection between the servo brake vacuum circuit and the E.G.R.
circuit and lets filtered air from the dedicated filter enter the E.G.R. circuit to restore atmospheric
pressure.

E.G.R. valve
The E.G.R. valve is mounted at the end of the heat exchanger.
The valve is cooled by the engine coolant coming out of the heat exchanger to ensure improved efficiency
and long life.
The amount of recirculated exhaust gas is determined by a poppet valve operated by the vacuum let in by
a calibrated connector; vacuum is taken from the pipe connecting vacuum pump to servo brake.
The vacuum let in by the solenoid valve overcomes the pressure exerted by the spring (1) and raises a
diaphragm (2); the shutter (3) connected to it rises and lets burnt exhaust gases flow back into the intake
manifold

The E.G.R. solenoid valve operates the E.G.R. valve to determine the amount of exhaust gases to be

Heat exchanger
The heat exchanger installed between turbocharger and throttle valve assembly cools down exhaust gas
to reduce its volume.
Its body accommodates a set of corrugated pipes. The recirculated exhaust gas passing through the
pipes is cooled down by the engine coolant flowing inside the body.
A portion of combustion gases escapes past the end gaps of the piston rings into the sump; the oil fumes
in the sump become mixed with the exhaust gases.
From the chain compartment, this mixture is conveyed upwards, and oil is partly extracted by a device
located on top of the timing cover and conveyed into the air intake circuit. This device consists of a rotary
filter (3) splined to the shaft (1) of the high pressure/camshaft pump and a cover (2) that accommodates
two normally closed valves (4 and 5).
The diaphragm valve (4) controls the release of the partially filtered mixture to keep pressure inside the
chain compartment at ~ 10 ÷ 15 mbar. The umbrella valve (5) releases part of the remaining oil contained
in the mixture exiting the filter (3) into the chain compartment and oil condenses inside chamber (6).
Training Academy
A – Gas with an oil content greater than 10 g/h
B – Gas with an oil content ~ 0.2 g/h
C – Condensed oil returning to oil sump
As the mixture passes through the rotary filter (3), oil particles are extracted by centrifugal force, hit the
cover walls, condense and are conveyed back into the lubrication circuit.
FIAT DUCATO COURSE OUTLINE
Training Academy
The filtered mixture is made to pass through the shaft holes (1) and the diaphragm valve (4) lets it flow
into the air conveyor upstream of the turbocharger. The valve (4) is opened or closed by the combined
action of the pressure acting on the diaphragm (4) and the vacuum underneath it. Any oil left in the
mixture exiting the rotary filter (3) condenses inside chamber (6) and is released into the chain
compartment by the umbrella valve (5) when the engine is stopped and the vacuum keeping the valve
closed is removed
The forced lubrication system consists of the following components:
- gear oil pump incorporated in the same assembly as the vacuum pump;
- pressure regulator incorporated in the oil pump;
- five-element heat exchanger;
- duel-filtration oil filter with incorporated safety valve.
OPERATION
Engine oil is drawn from the sump through the suction rose by the oil pump, pressurised and delivered to
the heat exchanger for cooling.
Oil flows through the oil filter and is conveyed to all lubrication points through galleries or pipes.
After the lubrication cycle, the oil drips back into the sump. The safety valve incorporated in the oil filter
cuts off the filter from the circuit when it becomes clogged.
In addition, the lubricating oil feeds the hydraulic tensioners of the auxiliary drive shafts and camshafts as
well as the hydraulic tappets.

The oil pump/vacuum pump assembly is mounted on the crankcase on timing gear side.
The oil pump drive gear is driven by the crankshaft via a chain and transmits motion to the vacuum pump.
Note: this assembly cannot be serviced and must be replaced when faulty.

When pressure in duct C is 4.4 bar or
higher, it helps the valve (1)
overcome the spring (2); the valve lowers
and opens the drain holes D-E that connect
delivery duct A and intake duct B, so that
pressure drops.
As soon as pressure drops below 4.4 bar,
the spring (2) pushes the valve (1) back into
the closed position.
The oil filter is of the simple filtration type
with incorporated by-pass valve and opens
at a differential pressure of 2.5 ± 0.2 bar.
The system consists of an electronic control unit located near the engine control unit in the engine
compartment and a hot-wire sensor.

Engine oil level is checked when the ignition key is turned to On to start the engine.
The system uses the heat dissipating properties of oil.
The current flowing through the hot wire causes its temperature and resistance to rise, while voltage
drops.
When the hot wire is submerged in oil, the oil will take up part of the heat; as a result, temperature,
resistance and voltage drop will be lower.
When the key is turned to On, the control unit feeds 210.5mA to the hot wire of the sensor. After a time
delay to allow for power supply to stabilise (t0 ÷ t1 = 150 mSec), the control unit takes a first voltage
reading (t1 ÷ t2 = 10 mSec ).
After another time delay (t0 ÷ t1 = 865 mSec), the control unit takes a second voltage reading and
compares it to the first reading.
At this point, one of the following may occur:
1) if the difference between the two readings is less than 125mV, it means that oil level is correct;
2) a difference greater than 445mV indicates minimum oil level;
3) if the second reading is greater than 3.5mV, it means that the sensor is interrupted;
4) if voltage is less than 1mV, it means that the sensor is shorted.
The oil control unit converts the reading into a PWM signal and sends it to the engine control unit. The
engine control unit sends the corresponding parameter over the C-CAN network to trigger the necessary
indications on the instrument panel.
PWM frequency : 125 ± 10Hz
Tolerance at ambient temperature PWM ± 3.5%
Oil level PWM signal represented by duty cycle TA

At the minimum level the PWM will be at 30%

Between 10% and 15%, data acquisition is in
progress.
Between 3% and 7%, an error has occurred.
The engine coolant pump is driven by the crankshaft via a poli-V belt; the pump delivers coolant to the
crankcase and - with greater pressure head - to the cylinder head.
The engine coolant pump is located on the crankcase on timing gear side.
When coolant temperature reaches or exceeds operating temperature, the thermostat trips and conveys
coolant to radiator and cooling fan.
Pressure in the circuit varies with temperature and is controlled by the inlet and outlet valves incorporated
in the expansion tank filler plug.
Supplemental engine coolant tank
The tank feeds coolant to the circuit and takes up excess coolant when it expands from heat as engine
temperature rises.
A calibrated valve in the sealed plug
- lets air exit the circuit; this is the air drawn from the pipe coming from the coolant outlet fitting on the
head; or
- lets air in when the engine has cooled down and vacuum is created in the circuit.

The expansion tank plug maintains pressure in the cooling circuit within the specified range.
The plug accommodates two valves:
- one is set at 0.02÷0.07 kg/cm² and lets air at atmospheric pressure into the circuit to prevent vacuum
(inlet valve);
- the other valve is set at 1.4±0,1 kg/ cm² and releases exceeding pressure (outlet valve).
The outlet valve serves two purposes:
- it maintains a slight pressure in the circuit so as to increase coolant boiling point;
- it releases excess pressure to the atmosphere when coolant temperature rises.
The inlet valve lets air into the circuit when coolant cools down and shrinks in volume, creating vacuum in
the circuit.
Thermostat
The thermostat is housed inside the outlet manifold for the engine coolant exiting the head on the intake
side, and its purpose is to maintain ideal engine temperature:
The by-pass thermostat requires no adjustment.
If you suspect a malfunction, replace it.
The water temperature sensor is mounted on thermostat body.

FEATURES
In this Common Rail fuel injection system equipped with CP3.2 pump, the flow regulator located at the
high pressure pump inlet controls the fuel flow required by the low pressure circuit. The high pump
pressure then feeds the Rail as appropriate.
This way, only the necessary amount of fuel is pressurised, there is less need to heat fuel in the system
and overall energy efficiency is improved
The CP3.2 pump maintains fuel at high pressure regardless of the current stroke of the cylinder that is
expecting the fuel and stores the fuel in a common duct for all electro-injectors (Rail).
As a result, fuel at the injection pressure determined by the ECU is constantly available at injector inlets.
When the ECU energises the solenoid valve of an injector, fuel is drawn from the rail and injected into the
corresponding cylinder.
The hydraulic system is comprised of a low pressure and high pressure circuit. The high pressure circuit
consists of the following pipes:
- pipe connecting high pressure pump outlet to Rail;
- Common Rail;
- feed pipes from Rail to injectors.
The low pressure circuit consists of the following pipes:
- suction pipe from tank to prefilter
- pipes feeding the mechanical supply pump and prefilter;
- pipes feeding the high pressure pump through the fuel filter;
- return pipe from high pressure pump;
- return pipe from electro-injectors;
- return pipe to tank.
Because of the high pressures in this hydraulic circuit, the following safety precautions must be strictly
observed:
- make sure to tighten the high pressure pipe fittings to the correct torque;
- do not disconnect high pressure pipes while the engine is running (DO NOT attempt to bleed the circuit,
this would be useless and dangerous!)
A low pressure circuit in good running order is critical to proper operation of the system, so do not make
changes to the circuit and repair any leaks without delay.
INJECTED FUEL CONTROL
The control unit controls fuel pressure regulator and electro-injectors based on the inputs from accelerator
pedal potentiometer, air flow meter or air pressure sensor in intake manifold and engine rpm sensor.
When the engine is started, injection timing and firing order are determined using the inputs from the
engine rpm sensor and the timing sensor (synchronisation); afterwards, injection timing is dependant on
the engine rpm sensor inputs only and the standard firing order of the 3000 JTD engine (1 – 3 – 4 – 2) is
resumed.
The control unit inhibits the injection when:
The electronic control unit basically relies on two factors to calculate injection advance: the amount of fuel
to be injected and engine rpm.
Injection advance is adjusted according to engine coolant temperature so as to compensate for the
increasing injection delay during warm-up, while the combustion chambers are still cold.
INJECTION PRESSURE CONTROL
This is a critical feature, as injection pressure affects the following parameters:
- amount of fuel fed into the cylinders (injection duration being equal);
- fuel atomisation;
- injection depth;
- time delay after command signal before fuel is actually injected;
- duration of fuel injection into combustion chamber.
These parameters significantly affect engine operation and performance in terms of power output,
exhaust emissions, noise and driveability.
The engine control unit uses engine rpm and load inputs to control the pressure regulator at the high
pressure pump inlet so as to achieve and maintain optimal line pressure.
When the engine is cold, injection pressure is adjusted based on engine coolant temperature to meet
varying engine demand as operating temperature changes.
Fuel pressure is adjusted to instantaneous engine operating conditions (rpm, load, etc.).
The lower the pressure, the longer the injection times (and vice versa), also depending on load
requirements.
Up to 2800 rpm, a pre-injection feature reduces the noise typically associated with direct injection
systems.
Pre-injection advance angles, intervals between pre-injection and main injection and main injection
advance angles vary according to the instantaneous operating conditions of the engine.
ELECTRIC FUEL PRE-FEED PUMP CONTROL
The auxiliary fuel pump submerged in the tank is powered by the engine control unit through a contactor
when the ignition key is set to RUN.
Power supply to the electric pump is removed when:
- the engine has not started after the ignition key has been in the RUN position for 10 seconds;
- the inertia switch has tripped.
FUEL CUT-OFF DURING DECELERATION
Fuel cut-off occurs when the engine control unit receives an input from the potentiometer indicating that
the accelerator has been released.
In this condition, the control unit cuts off power supply to electro-injectors and restores it before idle rpm is
reached; the ECU also controls the fuel pressure regulator accordingly.
The control unit controls fuel pressure regulator and electro-injector timing based on the inputs from the
engine rpm and coolant sensors so as to keep idle rpm stable. Under certain conditions, the ECU will also
use battery voltage to control idle speed.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMITATION CONTROL
The engine control unit achieves rpm limitation in two ways:
- it lowers line pressure to reduce the amount of fuel injected as the engine is approaching the maximum
rpm limit (4500 rpm);
- it shuts down the electro-injectors in the event the engine exceeds 5000 rpm.
MAXIMUM TORQUE LIMITATION CONTROL
The injection control unit uses rpm to calculate maximum torque parameters and maximum smoke rate
allowed based on the mapping stored in its memory. The control unit adjusts these parameters based on
engine coolant temperature and vehicle speed, and uses the resulting corrected parameters to meter out
the correct amount of fuel through the pressure regulators and the electro-injectors.
FUEL TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The injection control unit continually monitors fuel temperature through the sensor in the fuel filter.
When fuel reaches a predetermined temperature (80°C), the engine control unit begins to gradually
decrease maximum power and keeps cutting power up to 90°C, until achieving a minimum value of 60%
of rated power.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The injection control unit continually monitors engine coolant temperature through the sensor on the
thermostat.
If engine coolant temperature exceeds certain predetermined values, the control unit will:
- signal the fuel pressure regulator and the electro-injectors to reduce the amount of fuel injected (power
reduction starting from 106°C).
- actuate the engine cooling fan (switch-on/off temperatures: 95 / 91°C for first speed, 99 / 95°C for
second speed).
When the ignition key is turned to STOP (and temperature is higher than the cooling system switch-on
threshold), the fan will keep running for up to 20 sec., so that temperature drops below the switch-on
threshold.
When the ignition key is turned to RUN (and coolant temperature is higher than the cooling system
switch-on threshold), the fans will not switch on until engine speed rises above 770 rpm (rpm with a warm
engine is 800 rpm).
The injection control unit also provides smoke limitation, for event smoke emissions are produced under
sharp acceleration
To meet this requirement, the control unit processes the signals sent by accelerator pedal potentiometer,
engine rpm sensor and intake air sensor (air flow meter or pressure/temperature sensor); the injection
control unit controls the fuel pressure regulator and the electro-injectors so that the right amount of fuel to
reduce exhaust smoke is injected into the combustion chamber .
EXHAUST RECIRCULATION CONTROL (E.G.R.)
To ensure compliance with EURO 4 emissions standard, the control unit reduces the amount of fresh air
taken in according to engine load and accelerator pedal potentiometer inputs, and signals the pneumatic
EGR valve to open so as to draw a portion of the exhaust gas.
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
The engine control unit controls the air conditioner compressor clutch so as to preserve engine
performance when the air conditioner is on.
When the air conditioner is switched on, the engine control unit provides more fuel at idle speed to meet
the increased demand from the engine and shuts down the air conditioner in the event of:
- exceeding engine coolant temperature (AC is shut down at 105°C and re-enabled at 100°C).
ENGINE IMMOBILIZER
The system offers an engine immobilizer feature. This is achieved thanks to a Fiat CODE control unit that
communicates with the engine control unit and an electronic key that incorporates a code transponder.
Each time the key is turned to STOP, the Fiat CODE system shuts down the engine control unit
completely.
When the key is turned to RUN, the following occurs in the order:
- the engine control unit (which has the secret code stored in its memory) asks the Fiat CODE control unit
to transmit the secret code required to cancel the inhibit condition;
- the Fiat CODE control unit will only send the secret code after receiving the identification code from the
key transponder;
- when the secret code is recognised, the engine control unit inhibit is disabled and the unit is restored to
normal operation.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The injection system can be fully diagnosed by connecting the EXAMINER equipment to the diagnostic
connector located in the engine compartment.
The system includes a self-diagnosis feature to recognise, store and warn of possible malfunctions.
In the event a sensor or actuator is found to be malfunctioning, preset signal recovery strategies ensure
acceptable engine operation. This way, the vehicle can be driven to nearest service centre for the
necessary repairs.
The control unit processes the supercharging sensor inputs at varying engine rpm and determines the
amount of fuel to be injected:
- the ECU adjusts injection duration;
- it adjusts the amount of exhaust gas flowing through the turbocharger so as to ensure optimal
performance under all operating conditions.
LAMBDA SENSOR CONTROL
The control unit uses the inputs from the Lambda sensor to prepare “correction maps” for the main injection
and compensate for injection component decay (EGR, injectors, pressure rail, air flow meter, Lambda
sensor)
SOLENOID VALVE CONTROL
The control unit switches on the cooling fans at the first or second speed depending on engine coolant
temperature and coolant pressure in the air conditioning system.
CRUISE CONTROL (WHERE FITTED)
The control unit directly adjusts the amount of fuel injected depending on the position of the cruise control
lever so as to control and maintain the vehicle speed stored in the memory.
It also controls a status light on the instrument panel to indicate whether the system is on or off.
The cruise control system is temporarily disabled:
- when the brake is operated,
- when the clutch is operated;
- pressing the "resume" button brings the vehicle back to the stored speed.
The cruise control is not disabled when the accelerator pedal is depressed (for instance, when overtaking)
and automatically brings the vehicle back to stored speed as soon as the accelerator is released.
For safety reasons, the ASR (antispin) feature overrides the cruise control.
It is fitted in the engine compartment on the right-hand side panel.The control unit is of the "flash
e.p.r.o.m." type, i.e. it can be reprogrammed from outside without removing the hardware.
The injection control unit incorporates the absolute pressure sensor.
The figure below shows the control unit.
RPM SENSOR
Features
TIMING SENSOR
Features
Training Academy
The rpm sensor is fitted on the crankcase
with its sensing surface facing the phonic
wheel on the engine flywheel. It is an
inductive sensor that changes its output as
it senses the changes in the magnetic field
caused by the phonic wheel teeth (60 - 2
teeth) passing across it.
The injection control unit uses the rpm
sensor signal to:
- determine the rotation speed;
- determine the angular position of the
crankshaft.
The timing sensor is a Hall sensor fitted on
engine oil filler cover on the upper cylinder
head section.
It determines engine timing by sensing
the position of intake camshaft drive gear.
The injection control unit uses the signal of
the timing sensor to determine T.D.C. at the
end of the compression stroke.
1 –Timing sensor
The intake air overpressure and temperature sensor is an integrated component used to measure the
pressure and temperature of the air inside the intake manifold.
The sensor is fitted on the intake manifold and its output is used by the engine control unit:
- to adjust turbocharger pressure
- to protect the engine from overheating
- to diagnose air flow meter operation
Sensor pinout:
1 – Ground
2 – Air temperature signal
Sensor output voltage changes with absolute pressure according to the following law:
Ua=(c1*pabs+c0)*Us
where:
- Ua = signal output voltage in V
- Us = power supply voltage in V
- pabs = absolute pressure in kPa
- c0 = 5.4/280
- c1 = 0.85/280 kPa-1
3 – 5 V power supply (from engine control
unit)
4 – Turbocharging pressure output signal
The engine coolant temperature sensor is
mounted on a thermostatic plate and
detects coolant temperature by means of a
double NTC (negative temperature
coefficient) thermistor.
One NTC thermistor sends a signal to the injection control unit, while the other sends a signal to
temperature indicator and light on the instrument panel.
The sensor uses semiconductor technology; as sensor temperature increases with coolant temperature,
sensor resistance drops.
The change in resistance is not linear; temperature increase being equal, resistance will drop faster in the
low temperature range than at higher temperatures.
AIR FLOW METER WITH INCORPORATED AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Features
The hot-film air flow meter is located on the air intake sleeve.
It incorporates the intake air temperature sensor.
Air flow meter pinout:
1 – Power supply
2 – Ground
3 – Air temperature sensor signal
4 – Air mass quantity signal
The sensor casing is secured to the accelerator pedal and accommodates two (main and safety)
potentiometers connected by an axial shaft.
The shaft is fitted with two springs: a coil spring provides the correct resistance when pressure is applied
to the pedal, the second is the return spring for when the pedal is released.
Sensor output voltage changes with accelerator pedal position and is sent to the injection control unit.
The accelerator pedal position signal is processed together with the rpm input to calculate injection times
and pressure.

The (normally open) throttle valve assembly fitted on the intake manifold controls the flow rate of
intercooler air to be mixed with the exhaust gases recirculated by the E.G.R. valve, according to a
programmed percentage.
Recirculated exhaust gas is mixed with intercooler air in a duct inside the cylinder head.
The throttle valve is operated by an electric actuator controlled by a PWM signal from the EDC 16 control
unit.
If the throttle valve jams, the control unit will reduce engine performance to prevent engine damage.
The motor-driven throttle body performs two functions:
- shut-off management
- it controls exhaust gas temperature by restricting the cross-section area of the intake duct.

CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
The clutch pedal position switch is mounted on the pedal assembly and generates a positive signal for the
electronic control unit when the clutch is engaged (pedal released).
Whenever the clutch is disengaged to shift gears, the control unit senses that the switch signal is missing
and disables the Cruise Control (where fitted).
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
The brake pedal position switch is mounted on the pedal assembly. When the brake pedal is released,
the switch generates a positive signal. The control unit uses this signal to determine when the brake is
operated so as to disable the Cruise Control (where fitted) and cut off fuel.
The switch also operates the brake lights.

(1a), (1b) and (1c) on two planes at right
angles to each other: one plane should be
parallel to engine longitudinal axis (1d), the
other should be at right angles to it (1e); the
worst wear is normally found on the latter
plane and in the first measurement.
- If you find any oval, taper or wear, bore/grind and
plateau hone the barrels.
NOTE: When regrinding the cylinder barrels,
ensure to obtain the specified fit and
clearance to the replacement pistons; spare
pistons come with a 0.4 mm oversize with
respect to nominal value.
1. Before grinding the crank pins (1a),
measure the main journals (1b) with a
micrometer to determine to what diameter
the crank pins should be ground.
