Fuel Injector: Description and Operation
Description
Based on information from various sensors, the PCM measures the fuel injection amount. The fuel injector is a solenoid-operated valve and the fuel
injection amount is controlled by length of time that the fuel injector is held open. The PCM controls each injector by grounding the control circuit.
When the PCM energizes the injector by grounding the control circuit, the circuit voltage should be low (theoretically 0V) and the fuel is injected. When
the PCM de-energizes the injector by opening control circuit, the fuel injector is closed and circuit voltage should be peak for a moment.
CAUTION:
If an injector connector is disconnected for more than 46 seconds while the engine runs, the PCM will determine that the cylinder is misfiring and cut
fuel supply. So be careful not to exceed 46 seconds. But the engine runs normally in 10 seconds after turning the ignition key off.
