The common rail system was designed for electronic control of injection quantity, injection timing and injection pressure to obtain optimal operational control.
Features
• Lower exhaust gas and higher output due to high pressure injection in all usage ranges.
• Reduction in noise and exhaust gas due to injection rate control.
• Improved performance due to increased flexibility in the injection timing setting.
• Independent control of injection pressure in response to engine speed and load.

1.1 System Outline
This system also provides the following functions:
• A self-diagnosis and alarm function using computer to diagnose the system’s major
components and alert the driver in the event of a problem.
• A fail-safe function to stop the engine, depending upon the location of the problem.
• A backup function to change the fuel regulation method, thus enabling the vehicle to
continue operation.
1.2 System Configuration
Divided by function, the system can be classified according to the fuel system and the control
system.
[1] Fuel System
High-pressure fuel that is generated by the supply pump is distributed to the cylinders using a
rail. Electromagnetic valves in the injectors then open and close the nozzle needle valve to control the start and end of fuel injection.

[2] Control System
Based on the signals received from various sensors mounted on the engine and the vehicle,
the ECU controls current timing and the duration in which the current is applied to the injectors,
thus ensuring an optimal amount of fuel is injected at an optimal time.
The control system can be broadly classified according to the following electronic components:
sensors, computers, and actuators.

1.3 Construction and Operation of the System
The rail system is comprised of a supply pump, a rail, and injectors, and also includes an ECU
and sensors to regulate those components.
The supply pump generates the internal fuel pressure in the rail. Fuel pressure is regulated by
the quantity of fuel discharged by the supply pump. In turn, the fuel discharge quantity is regulated by electronic signals from the ECU that turn the PCVs (pump control valves) ON and OFF.
Upon receiving fuel pressurized by the supply pump, the rail distributes the fuel to the cylinders.
The pressurized fuel is detected by the rail pressure sensor (installed in the rail) and undergoes
feedback control so that actual pressure will match the command pressure (designated according to the engine speed and load).
Pressurized fuel in the rail passes through the injection pipes that lead to the cylinders, and applies
pressure to the injector nozzles and the control chamber.
The injector regulates injection quantity and timing by turning the TWV (two-way valve) ON and OFF.
When the TWV is ON (current applied), the fuel circuit switches over, causing the high-pressure
fuel in the control chamber to flow out via the orifice. As a result, the force of the high-pressure
fuel at the nozzle valve opening causes the needle valve to lift, thus starting the injection of fuel.
When the TWV is turned OFF (current not applied), the fuel circuit switches over so that highpressure fuel, traveling via the orifice, is introduced to the control chamber. As a result, the needle valve lowers, thus ending the injection of fuel.
Thus, through electronic control, the timing of the current applied to the TWV determines the
injection timing, and the duration in which current is applied to the TWV determines the injection
quantity.
