How does an injection event work in a Ford?

To initiate an injection event, the ECU grounds the control circuit and supplies the injector with 250 volts through the supply circuit to open the injector, and to keep it open during the injection event. Closing the injector again is accomplished by removing power from the Piezo wafers, which causes them to contract, thereby closing the injector.
