IDENTIFICATION OF DIESEL ENGINE INJECTOR CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

A method for identifying particular characteristics of a fuel injection system places a characterization resistor into a power circuit for each fuel injector. The resistance is selected once the characteristics of the fuel injector have been tested after assembly. The control for the fuel injector is able to query the particular fuel injector and determine its characteristics based upon a voltage which has been influenced by the characterization resistance. In another feature of this invention, coded information, such as the characterization resistance, is assigned to a number of possible combinations of characteristics in a spiral fashion if the characteristics were stored in a two dimensional array.
