Common rail diesel injection (CDI), general 

The common rail is designated as storage injection. Pressure generation (by the high-pressure pump (M41/3)) and the injection (directly into the cylinder) are separate. The fuel under high pressure is available for all cylinder in the common storage place (common rail) for

The entire engine control system is located in the CDI control unit (N3/28).

Sensor data are sent directly by the engine timing and are read in indirectly via the Control Area Network (CAN) network and the corresponding actuators are actuated. The individual functions and systems of the engine control system are controlled and coordinated by the CDI control unit.

IMPORTANT The 2nd generation of the Common Rail systems from Delphi is used for engine 651.

The following output and associated exhaust variants are available:

The operating conditions of the engine and the concurrently active engine control subfunctions are described in the following documents:

The engine control is subdivided into the following systems:

Basic functions 

IMPORTANT For diagnostic purposes, the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS) can be used to read out and delete the engine control fault codes, and to actuate certain specific diagnostic functions.

IMPORTANT The CDI control unit exchanges data via the attached engine compartment-CAN (CAN C) and interior CAN (CAN B) with other control units which are integrated in the CAN network.

IMPORTANT The CDI control unit communicates with the following components via the drive LIN (LIN C1):

IMPORTANT The engine control in the CDI control unit is flash programmable, that is the software in the CDI control unit can in part be replaced using the DAS. The software required for control unit programming can be found on the STAR DIAGNOSIS DAS Update DVD.

IMPORTANT The following vehicle versions and equipment are examples of items that can be coded with the DAS using variant coding:

Engine system 

Injection system 

Air control system 

Exhaust system 

Engine 651 complies with EU 5 exhaust emissions standard and is characterized by the following features:

IMPORTANT Engine 651.9 is fitted with a regulated engine oil pump to reduce fuel consumption. The valve regulated oil pressure pump (Y133) actuated by the CDI control unit only delivers the required quantity of engine oil through the engine oil pump.
