System Integrity Check

Perform the following checks:
- Visually inspect fuel system (fuel lines, filter, pump, injectors, pressure regulator, etc.).
- Ensure Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch reset button is not in upper (tripped) position.
- Ensure battery is fully charged and fuel-related fuses are okay.
- Check fuel tank contents and fuel gauge accuracy. On vehicles with 2 fuel tanks, check both tanks. If any fault is detected, repair as necessary. If system checks are okay, go to next step.

Check Fuel Pressure

Install fuel pressure gauge. Check and record fuel pressure. For fuel pressure specifications, see FUEL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS article. If fuel pressure is as specified, testing is complete. If fuel pressure is not as specified, go to step 52) of CIRCUIT TEST H in TESTS W/CODES - EEC-V article.
