General Information: General Description

For each injector cycle, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has four phases.

First, the PCM "Pre-energizes" the injector circuit with 12 volts for a specified amount of time.

Then, the PCM sends a "peak" voltage of 55 volts, which causes the Injector to begin mechanically opening.

The PCM will then "hold" the current at a lower voltage until the injector is completely open.

Once the injector is completely open, the PCM will "duty cycle" the current to maintain the open position.

The length of the duty cycle will vary due to RPM and load conditions.

The injector will quickly close once the PCM discontinues current.
