Group 28 Design and Function Electronic Unit Injectors The engine has six unit injectors, one for each cylinder. Each Electronic Unit Injector, or EUI, is a combination of injection pump and injector, but operates at a consid- erably higher pressure than a standard injector. Each unit injector is mounted vertically in the cylinder head at each cylinder, centered between the four valves.
Page 57
Group 28 Design and Function Cam Sensor Wheel The cam sensor wheel has six teeth (one tooth for each unit injector) evenly spaced at 60 center-to-center, plus an extra tooth, placed 15 before the tooth that indicates cylinder number 1. The EECU uses these teeth to determine which injector is in line for injection.
Page 58
Group 28 Design and Function Injector Operational Phases The operational phase of the number 1 cylinder is given in the following example. Fuel is injected at 7 before top dead center (BTDC) (the injection angle may vary be- tween 18 BTDC and 6 after top dead center).

This al- lows the technician and vehicle to take measurements on functional circuits.
Replacement VECUs are programmed using the VCADS Pro tool. Programming is based on the particular dataset that matches the vehicle; datasets are stored in the Volvo Data Administration (VDA) database. Authorized technicians can update and/or alter software datasets, change customer parameters, and perform campaigns.
Group 28 Design and Function VECU Functions The following functions are monitored or controlled by the VECU. Only the functions needed for each specific vehicle/engine application are wired and programmed into the VECU.
