Engine control unit E-ECU, function description

Control unit's sensors
The D7D engine's injection system is controlled completely by electronics with regards to injected amount and injection timing. The
system is called EMS (Engine Management System).
This section briefly describes the parts that are mounted on the engine. A number of other parts affect the system, for example, the
sensor for engine speed.
The central part in the system, control unit E-ECU, is located on the right side of the air cleaner. All cable connections for the engine
sensors have connectors with DIN-standard.

Control unit
The control unit E-ECU is the central part of the injection system. The unit is mounted in brackets with rubber dampers.
The E-ECU receives continuous information from V-ECU (requested engine speed) and a number of sensors on the engine. It also
calculates the fuel amount and at what time the fuel should be injected into the cylinders.
The E-ECU stores information if a malfunction should occur, or if something in the system is abnormal. Even malfunctions that occur
sporadically are stored in the control unit and can thus be traced at a later time.
Functions

 Fuel amounts, injection pump

 Temperatures
 Preheating coil, preheating
 Operating speed (rpm)
