Circuit Functions

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Ford RV Cutaway, 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The IPR is a pulse width modulated (PWM) variable position valve that regulates the pressure in the injection control pressure (ICP) system. The IPR restricts the return flow path for oil from the high pressure pump. As the duty cycle increases, the IPR restriction to the drain increases, thus increasing the ICP. The IPR duty cycle is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) and is modulated from 0 to 65% depending upon the desired injection control pressure.
