Rail pressure sensor: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The rail-pressure sensor is threaded into the end of the fuel-distribution rail.
and delivers information on the fuel pressure downstream of the high pressure pump to the engine control.
The rail-pressure sensor supports the rail-pressure control process. The signal from the rail pressure sensor is an important input signal for the engine control for activating the quantity control valve. The quantity-control valve is a component within the high-pressure pump.
