Rail Pressure Sensor (Pc Sensor)

The rail pressure sensor (Pc sensor) is installed on the rail. It detects the fuel pressure in the rail and sends a signal to the engine ECU. This is a semi-conductor sensor that uses the piezo-electric effect of the electrical resistance varying when pressure is applied to a silicon element.

There are also rail pressure sensors that have dual systems to provide a backup in case of breakdown. The output
voltage is offset.
