COMMON RAIL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Common rail system:
The common rail system uses high-pressure fuel for improved fuel economy. This system also provides robust engine power while suppressing engine vibration and noise.
This system stores fuel in the common rail, which has been pressurized and supplied by the fuel supply pump assembly. By storing fuel at high-pressure, the common rail system can provide fuel at stable fuel injection pressures, regardless of engine speed or engine load.
The ECM provides an electric current to the solenoid valve in each injector assembly to regulate the fuel injection timing and volume. The ECM also monitors the internal fuel pressure of the common rail using the fuel pressure sensor. The ECM causes the fuel supply pump assembly to supply the fuel necessary to obtain the target fuel pressure.
In addition, this system uses a solenoid valve inside each injector assembly to open and close the fuel passages. Therefore, both fuel injection time and fuel injection volume can be precisely regulated by the ECM.
The common rail system allows a multi stage fuel injection process. In order to soften combustion shock, this system performs "pilot-injection" prior to the "main-injection". This helps to reduce engine vibration and noise.

Tech Tips
If there is a problem with a fuel return pipe, as bleeding air from the fuel system may not be able to be performed properly in certain instances, such as after replacing an injector assembly, etc., the engine startability may deteriorate.
Common rail system components:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Common rail assembly | Stores high-pressure fuel produced by supply pump |
| Fuel supply pump assembly |
|
| Injector assembly | Injects fuel to combustion chamber based on signals from ECM |
| Fuel pressure sensor | Monitors internal fuel pressure of common rail and sends signals to ECM |
| Pressure discharge valve | Based on signals from ECM, opens valve when sudden deceleration occurs, or when ignition switch is off to prevent fuel pressure from becoming too high |
| Pre-stroke control valve | Based on signals from ECM, adjusts fuel volume supplied to common rail and regulates internal fuel pressure |
| Check valve | Keeps pressure that discharges from injector |

FUEL SUPPLY PUMP OPERATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
When the cam rotates the roller is pushed up, and in turn the plunger is pushed upward as well. When the plunger is not pushed up by the cam, it is pushed back down by the spring.

| *3 | Spring | *4 | Shoe |
| *5 | Roller | *6 | Double Cam |
The ECM controls the timing of the pre-stroke control valve opening to regulate the fuel quantity. Consequently, the fuel pressure in the common rail is controlled to the target injection pressure.
The longer the pre-stroke control valve remains open, the quantity of pressure-fed strokes will decrease, as well as the fuel discharge quantity.
Pumping will start when the fuel pressure has become higher than the common rail pressure.
| *a | Return Fuel | - | - |
The less time the pre-stroke control valve remains open, the quantity of pressure-fed strokes will increase, as well as the fuel discharge quantity.
Pumping will start when the fuel pressure has become higher than the common rail pressure.
