Injector Coil Test - ECT Not Between 50-95°F (3.4L)
WARNING:
In order to prevent flooding of cylinder and possible engine damage, relieve fuel pressure before performing injector coil test procedure.
- If On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check has been performed, go to next step. If On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check has not been performed, perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check. See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article.
- Install scan tool. Using scan tool, check engine coolant temperature. If coolant temperature is not 50-95°F (10-35°C), go to next step. If coolant temperature is 50-95°F (10-35°C), perform injector coil test. See INJECTOR COIL TEST - ECT BETWEEN 50-95°F (3.4L) .
- Turn ignition off. Relieve fuel pressure. Connect Fuel Injector Tester (J-39021), Injector Switch Box (J-39021-210) and Fuel Injector Test Harness (J-39021-306) to fuel injector connector. Set amperage on fuel injector tester to Coil Test 0.5 amp position. Connect DVOM to fuel injector tester. Select fuel injector using injector switch box. Depress PUSH TO START TEST button. Record lowest voltage reading within first second of test. Record highest voltage reading other than those above 9.5 volts. Subtract any other voltage reading observed from highest voltage reading. Repeat procedure for each injector. If difference is greater than 0.6 volt, go to next step. If difference is less than 0.6 volt, perform injector balance test. See INJECTOR BALANCE TEST (2.2L & 3.4L) .
- Replace any injector(s) that had any of the following results: initial reading greater than 9.5 volts, erratic reading or difference is greater than 0.6 volt. After repairs, perform injector balance test. See INJECTOR BALANCE TEST (2.2L & 3.4L) .
NOTE:
Perform step 3)
on each injector.
