Rail pressure sensor: Notes
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 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.
