Common Rail Fuel-injection System
Printed in Mar. 2005 PS-MMA0608-E1A
7) Common rail pressure sensor
The fuel flows to the rail pressure sensor through an opening in the common rail,
the end of which is sealed off by the sensor diaphragm. Pressurized fuel reaches
the sensor's diaphragm through a blind hole. The sensor element for converting
the pressure to an electric signal is mounted on this diaphragm. The signal
generated by the sensor is inputted to an evaluation circuit which amplifies the
measuring signal and sends it to the ECU.
