Power Supply
For a safe operation an engine with fuel injection requires a trouble-free power supply. The ECU
receives all relevant data from the sensors, calculates the optimal ignition and injection time, as well
as the required fuel quantity which needs to be injected and the injection duration.
Therefore the ECU and the fuel pump, require a continuous and trouble-free power supply. The ECU
controls and provides the ignition coils and the injectors with the required electric signals and power.
Any power supply interruption of the ECU leads to an immediate engine stoppage. A safe function of
the switches and a correct connection of the cables is therefore extremely important.
Control and function test of the power supply
While the engine is running, the integrated generator produces an AC current which is converted by
means of a digital voltage regulatorinto direct current in order to charge the 12V battery. The
generator is able to produce high voltage at low RPM enough current to provide the required electrical
power for the fuel pump, injectors, ECU and the ignition without discharging the battery, even at idle
