Fuel Pressure Test
- Release the Residual Pressure in the Fuel Line (Refer to: "RELEASE RESIDUAL PRESSURE IN FUEL LINE " in this procedure).CAUTION: When removing the Fuel Pump Relay, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may occur. Delete the code with the GDS after completion of "RELEASE RESIDUAL PRESSURE IN FUEL LINE " work.
- Install the Special Service Tool (SST).
- Disconnect the Fuel Feed Tube from the Delivery Pipe.CAUTION: Their may be some residual pressure even after "Release Residual Pressure in Fuel Line" work, so cover the hose connection with a shop towel to prevent residual Fuel from spilling out before disconnecting any Fuel Connection.
- Install the Special Service Tool for measuring the Fuel Pressure in between the Fuel Feed Tube and the Fuel Delivery Pipe (Refer to: Graphic below).
- Disconnect the Fuel Feed Tube from the Delivery Pipe.
- Inspect Fuel leakage on connections among the Fuel Feed Tube, Delivery Pipe and the SST components with IG ON.
- Measure Fuel Pressure.
- Start the Engine and measure the Fuel Pressure at idle.
Fuel Pressure:
480 ~ 500 kPa (4.9 ~ 5.1 kgf/cm2 , 69.6 ~ 72.5 psi)
NOTE: If the Fuel Pressure differs from the standard value, repair or replace the related part (Refer to: Chart below).Fuel
PressureCause Related Part Too Low Fuel filter clogged Fuel Filter Fuel leakage Fuel Pressure Regulator Too High Fuel pressure regulator valve stuck Fuel Pressure Regulator - Stop the engine, and then check for the change in the fuel pressure gauge reading.
Standard Value : The gauge reading should hold for about 5 minutes after the engine stops
NOTE: If the gauge reading should not be held, repair or replace the related part (Refer to: Chart below).Fuel Pressure
(After Engine Stops)Cause Related Part Fuel Pressure Drops Slowly Leakage on injector Injector Fuel Pressure Drops Immediately Check valve of fuel pump stuck open Fuel Pump - Turn the Ignition Switch OFF.
- Start the Engine and measure the Fuel Pressure at idle.
- Release the Residual Pressure In Fuel Line (Refer to: "RELEASE RESIDUAL PRESSURE IN FUEL LINE ").
- Test End
- Remove the Special Service Tool (SST) from the Fuel Feed Tube and the Delivery Pipe.
- Connect the Fuel Feed Tube and the Delivery Pipe.
