A fuel injection system having a fuel injection valve in which an injection valve member is urged in an opening direction counter to a closing force by pressure in a pressure chamber which generated by a high-pressure fuel pump driven by a cam. A control valve is actuated by a piezoelectric actuator triggered by an electric control unit by which a communication of the pressure chamber with a relief chamber is controlled. When the control valve is closed, the pressure chamber is disconnected from the relief chamber. The control valve has a control valve member coupled with the actuator via a hydraulic coupler. The actuator, after a charging phase, communicates with an associated voltage meter, and the voltage between the electrical terminals of the actuator is monitored for detecting the function of the control valve.
