Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) : DTC(S)
DTC(s):
241 331
V8 I6
Function:
The International engine control system includes an Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) valve that controls oil pressure in the
high pressure injection control system which is used to actuate the injectors. The IPR valve consists of a solenoid, poppet
and spool valve assembly and is mounted in the high pressure oil pump. The ECM regulates injection control pressure by
controlling the duty cycle or (on/off time) of the injection control pressure solenoid. This increase or decrease of "on/off"
time positions a poppet valve and spool valve internal to the IPR, which in turn either maintains pressure in the injection
control pressure system or vents pressure to the oil sump via the front cover.
Operation:
The IPR valve is supplied with voltage at terminal A of the IPR connector when the ignition key is turned on through the
ECM. Control of the injection control system is accomplished by the ECM grounding the IPR circuit from terminal B of the
IPR valve thru pin #37 of the ECM. Precise control is accomplished by varying the pulse width or percentage of "on/off"
time of the solenoid. The frequency of the pulse width to the IPR is 400 Hz, normal "on/off" times varies from 8% to 60%.
A high duty cycle indicates a high amount of injection control pressure being commanded, a low duty cycle is an indication
of less pressure being commanded.
ECM Diagnostics:
The ECM monitors the Injection Control Pressure while the engine is in operation. If the actual pressure is greater or less
than desired pressure, the ECM will set a fault code. When this occurs, the ECM will ignore the ICP sensor and control the
engine using pre-programmed values for the IPR.
The Electronic Service Tool is used to Perform the Engine Running Standard Test which enables the ECM to vary the
command signal to the IPR and monitor the performance of the Injection Control Pressure system. If the system does not
respond within the specified parameters, the ECM will set a fault code.
Fault codes can be retrieved using the Electronic Service Tool or the Self Test Input diagnostics switch located on the vehicle
dash. If the ignition key is shut off, the code will be stored as an Inactive code.
