Rail Pressure Sensor (RPS) is installed at the end of the common rail and measures the instantaneous fuel pressure in the common rail by using its diaphragm. Its sensing element (semiconductor device) mounted on the diaphragm converts the fuel pressure to an electric signal.
Test Condition | Rail pressure (bar) | Output Voltage (V) |
Idle | 220 ~ 320 | Below 1.7 |
Fully depressed | 1,800 | Approx. 4.5 |
