      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 11.6 to 12.4 Ω

        If the result is not as specified, replace the injector assembly.

    2. Check the operation.
      WARNING:

      Perform the inspection in a well-ventilated area.

      Do not perform the inspection near a naked flame.

      1. Connect SST (fuel tube connector) to SST (hose) with SST (hose band), and then connect them to the fuel pipe (vehicle side).

      4. Install a vinyl tube onto the injector.
        WARNING:

        Install a suitable vinyl tube onto the injector assembly to prevent gasoline from spraying.

      5. Tie SST (clamp and adapter) together with SST (tie band) as shown in the illustration.

      6. Set the injector assembly in a graduated cylinder.
      7. Operate the fuel pump. Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION - Step 1 .
      8. Connect SST (wire) to the injector assembly and the battery for 15 seconds, and measure the injection volume with the graduated cylinder. Test each injector 2 or 3 times.

        Positive (+) terminal - Ground terminal Per 15 seconds 85 to 102 cc (5.2 to 6.2 cu.in.)

        Difference between each injector

        17 cc (1.0 cu.in.) or less

        NOTE:

        Always switch the voltage on and off on the battery side, not the injector side.

        If the injection volume is not as specified, replace the injector assembly.

    3. Check for leaks.
