Signal Functions
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2005 Ford RV Cutaway, 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Excursion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The injection control pressure (ICP) sensor is a variable capacitance sensor that is supplied a 5-volt reference signal from the powertrain control module (PCM) producing a linear analog voltage signal that indicates pressure.
The primary function of the ICP sensor is to provide a feedback signal to indicate the oil rail pressure so the PCM can command the correct injector timing, pulse width, and injection control pressure for proper fuel delivery at all speed and load conditions.
