Functional principle:

The pressure sensor module is directly connected to the high pressure


connection of the high pressure pump; in addition, the high pressure
line between the pump and rail is detached (the engine is not startable
in this state)

When the starter motor is activated, the required quantity is collected


in the pressure accumulator; after reaching the opening pressure
(around 500 bar), the overflow valve opens (pressure limiting)

The overflow quantity flows into a collecting container

in addition, the high pressure line between rail and a (easily accessible) injector is
detached.
The engine is operated in the idling state (engine runs on n-1 cylinders), speed
variation is possible with regard to the rail pressure variation principle (in compliance
with the specifications of the engine manufacturers); by increasing the engine speed,
pressures till the maximum range are conceivable.
The rail pressure value displayed on the digital pressure display is compared with

CRS - Diagnosis - Idling speed comparison


Using the idling speed comparison test, the injectors can be checked for their correct functioning and states. It
involves an injector test based on software technology. For deactivated smooth running control, the specific idling speeds
are specified for the individual cylinders.

Note:
Idling speed comparison
The smooth running control does not balance the power differences between
the individual cylinders any more (e.g. compression, injector throughput).
Cylinder 1: 820 rpm
A possible "vibration-free engine running" is aimed at / set. Cylinder 2: 790 rpm
For the corresponding engine speed differences of the individual cylinders, Cylinder 3: 810 rpm
please refer to the valid ESI[tronic] SIS manual. Cylinder 4: 780 rpm

Related topics: Example

Low RPM:

- The cylinder receives less fuel quantity


- Too low compression on this cylinder (e.g. on piston ring, incorrect valve clearance)
- Injector has leakage (e.g. injector leaky from inside, nozzle needle "jammed", nozzle holes are "clogged")

Higher RPM:

- The cylinder receives more fuel quantity


- Increased compression on this cylinder (additional power)
- Injector has leakage (e.g. injector leaky, drips continuously, nozzle washed out)

CRS - Diagnosis - Fuel Balance Control


Using the fuel quantity comparison test, the injectors can be checked for their correct functioning and states. It
involves an injector test based on software technology. For activated smooth running control, the specific correction
fuel quantities are specified for the individual cylinders.

Note:
The smooth running control balances the power differences between
the individual cylinders (e.g. compression, injector capacity).
A possible "vibration-free engine running" is aimed at / set.
The correction fuel quantity of the individual cylinder can be changed
from +5.00 mm3/H to -5.00 mm3/H.

Related topics:

Fuel quantity addition (up to +5.00 mm3/H):

- Too low compression on this cylinder (power loss)


- Injector is contaminated (e.g. nozzle needle "jammed", nozzle holes are "clogged")

Fuel quantity reduction (up to -5.00 mm3/H):

- Very high increase in compression on this cylinder (e.g. deposits on the piston, incorrect
outlet valve clearance)
- Injector has leakage (e.g. injector leaky, drips continuously, nozzle washed out, solenoid valve
defective)

CRS - Diagnosis - Injector fuel quantity adjustment


Functional description of the injector fuel quantity adjustment (IMA)
In order to improve the high precision of the injection system, new functions such as IMA are used for Common Rail
(CR). The injector fuel quantity adjustment is a software function to improve the accuracy of quantity metering. For the
injector fuel quantity adjustment, a multitude of measurement data is collected for each injector during its manufacture
and this data is provided in the form of a data matrix code on the injector. These values are transferred to the engine
control unit during vehicle production. During the engine operation, these values are used to compensate deviations in
the metering and switching behaviour. At the end-of-line of the vehicle manufacturing, the EDC adjustment values of the
injectors installed and the allocation to the cylinders are programmed into the engine control unit via a EOL
programming (End Of Line). Even when the injectors are replaced (injector replacement) in the service station, the
adjustment values (plain text code) are newly entered into the engine control unit.

CRS - Diagnosis - Zero delivery calibration

1. What is meant by zero quantity calibration?


It ensures that a definite amount of pre-injection is
maintained after a running in period of 1500km.
2. When is this calibration required?
The ECU is not always ready after 1500km and
performs this adjustment continuously.
3. What happens technically ?
In the overrun phases between 2500 and 1500 rpm, a
small fuel quantity (approx. 1mm³) is injected. But the
injected quantity is only as much that the ECU
Injector CRS
detects a non-uniformity via the speed sensor. Using
Figure: BMW M47TU this, the actuating time of the cylinder at which the
ECU starts functioning is determined.

CRS - Diagnosis - Compression test


Using the compression test, the cylinders can be checked for their correct functioning and states. It involves an engine
compression test based on software technology. For deactivated injection, the specific engine speeds are specified for the
individual cylinders.

Note:
During the compression test, the start up of the engine is prevented
through software technology. A uniform compression pressure is
highly significant for an optimum, smooth running of the engine.
For the corresponding engine speed differences of the individual
cylinders, please refer to the valid ESI[tonic]-SIS manual.

Related topics:
Compression test
The cylinder gains more RPM:

- Too low compression on this cylinder (e.g. defective cylinder head gasket, piston rings, valves, … )
- Leakage on the injector
- Leakage on the glow plug

The cylinder obtains lesser RPM:

- Increased friction value on this cylinder (e.g. piston jamming, connecting rod bearing damage, insufficient
lubrication, …)

CRS - Diagnosis - Run-up test


Using the run-up test, the efficiency of individual cylinders for their correct functioning can be checked. Using this function,
through targeted cut-off of the cylinders in the presence of specified rail pressure, and injected fuel quantity, boost pressure
actuator and exhaust gas recirculation of the remaining cylinders, the required time needed to achieve a specific speed is
measured.

Prerequisites for performing the test:


- No error entries are stored in the engine control
- Engine has reached the operating temperature
- No loads are switched on (e.g. air conditioner, … )
- Vehicle with particulate filter; no particulate filter regeneration is initiated

During the test, the injection quantity is constant and the number of the
injections is exactly defined.

First measuring process:


Engine accelerates from the lower speed range to the higher speed range
All the injectors are active during this acceleration.

Second measuring process


Engine accelerates again, injector of the first cylinder gets cut-off, thereby, the
final speed is less and the measuring time long when compared with the first
measuring process. If there is no reduction in the final speed or extension of the
measuring time, the injector or the flow limiter is defective. Measuring process 2
is repeated on all the cylinders so that, a defect-free, working cylinder can be selected.

CRS - Diagnosis - High pressure test 1


Using the high pressure test, the delivery rate and the pressure build-up of the high pressure pump can be checked
for its correct functioning, and the internal and external seal tightness of the fuel high pressure system can be
checked. Using this function, by targeted actuation of the metering unit and pressure regulating valve, with a manually
set engine speed of approx. 3500 rpm, the maximum system pressure can be built up.

Prerequisites:

- Metering unit and pressure control valve are actuated


- Maximum system pressure is set / built up
- Raise the engine speed to approx. 3500 rpm manually

Evaluation:

If it is possible to build up the maximum system pressure, then it can


be concluded that the high pressure pump is functioning properly.
In the process, if no leakage (internal or external) is noticed, then it
can be concluded that the fuel high pressure system is defect-free.
If the maximum system pressure is not achieved; it can be due to the
the fuel supply system, a defective metering unit or it can be due to
an internal / external leakage.

CRS - Diagnosis - High pressure test 2


Using the high pressure test 2, the delivery rate and the pressure build-up of the high pressure pump can be checked for its
proper functioning and the internal and external seal tightness of the fuel high pressure system can be checked. With this
function, through targeted actuation of the metering unit and pressure control valve at 4 different engine speeds, the ‘required
time’ is measured; this is the time needed by the pressure pump to build-up the maximum system pressure in the fuel-high
pressure loop.

Prerequisites for performing the test:

- No error entries are stored in the engine control


- Engine has reached the operating temperature
- No loads are switched on (e.g. air conditioner, … )
- Vehicle with particulate filter; no particulate filter regeneration is
initiated.

The high pressure test 2 is divided into 3 processes, such that; the efficiency
of the high pressure pump, the adjusting curve of the pressure control valve
and the function of the element cut-off valve (CP 1) can be tested at 5 different
speed ranges. In the 4 speed ranges, the capacity of the high pressure pump
ca be tested by increasing the rail pressure to its maximum value, and by the
subsequent, step-wise reduction of rail pressure, the adjusting curve of the
pressure control valve can be assessed. In the 5th speed range, the function High pressure test 2
of the element switch-off valve is checked.

CRS - Diagnosis - High pressure test 2 sequence


Test sequence: - Speed start-up
- Increase the setpoint pressure and measure the time required for pressure build-up
- Reduce the setpoint pressure and measure the time required for pressure reduction
- The whole process is carried out 4 times, under different speeds
- For the last speed, the test is repeated with injection cut-off during pressure reduction.

Special features: - Controlling via the engine ECU


- Assessment is done in the engine ECU
- Assessment is done in the diagnostic tester
- Default test parameters selectable through ECU or diagnostic tester
Defects that can be diagnosed:

Pressure build-up too slow, but pressure reduction is ok:


- Bad pumping efficiency
- Pump delivers only to one or two pistons
- Flow of measuring unit is too low
- Pre-delivery pump fetches very less quantity of fuel or very low
pressure

Pressure reduction very slow:


- Metering Unit (MEU) untight
- Pressure in the return line is too high
- Suction valve not ok

Pressure reduction too quick:


- High leakage on injectors or at pressure control valve (return fuel quantity)
- External leakage in the high pressure loop
- Leakage through high pressure pump
