Characteristic curve and setpoint values

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The information on the rail pressure is transmitted to the engine control on a signal line. The effective signal for rail pressure fluctuates according to pressure levels. The measuring range of approx. 0.5 - 4.5 volts corresponds to a rail pressure of between 0 kPa (0 bar) and 25 MPa (250 bar).
