Direct Injection
Diesels were the fi rst engines to use direct injection, but they use compression ignition 
rather than spark ignition. Direct injection works just like PFI Port Fuel Injection.  The 
main differences are:

Fuel injectors are mounted inside the combustion chamber like spark plugs 

Fuel is injected directly into the cylinders

Fuel pressure is much higher: 410 to 1885 psi

Fuel atomizes completely into a stratifi ed charge

DISI

2 fuel pumps 

 In-tank electric pump 60-71 psi 

 Camshaft driven mechanical pump 410-1885 psi

Direct injection allows complete atomization and the fuel vapor 
provides a cooling effect, improving the loading effi ciency of the fuel 
mixture
Allows a high compression ratio of 9.5:1, while resisting knock even 
with turbocharging
Ignition timing is delayed without misfi re, decreasing exhaust 
temperatures below NO

X

 production temperatures 

Catalyst lights off quicker: within 40-seconds of starting, the HC 
conversion of the catalyst is nearly 100%

DISI Fuel System

Fuel pressure from the in-tank pump is controlled at two voltages; low voltage for idle 
when less fuel volume is required and high voltage for high volume required during 
higher engine speeds.  Voltage and volume change but pressure is constant.

In-Tank Low Pressure Fuel Pump Operation: Low voltage Idle operation

In-Tank Low Pressure Fuel Pump Operation: Battery Voltage Off Idle

Fuel pressure is inspected in the traditional manner in the engine compartment 
before the high pressure pump and should be approximately 65 psi.  You can also 
use WDS to monitor the high pressure fuel rail pressure sensor before the engine 
is cranked. Key on engine off, the in-tank fuel pump pressure is displayed.  The fuel 

pump resistor is located in front of the drivers side strut tower.

Pressure Sensor

High Pressure Fuel Pump
The PCM maintains pressure by monitoring the fuel rail pressure sensor

Pressure is modifi ed by opening the spill control solenoid
Fuel pressure on the high pressure rail can only be inspected using WDS or 
equivalent to monitor the fuel rail pressure sensor
The PCM energizes the spill control solenoid to control fuel pressure

High pressure fuel is dangerous. Fuel pressure must be released prior to 
service by removing the fuel pump relay and cranking the engine
