Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION
    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Pinch fuel feed hose with two fingers.

      Fuel pressure pulsation should be felt on the fuel feed hose for 1 second after ignition switch is turned ON  .

      OK or NG 

      OK: INSPECTION END 

      NG: GO TO 2.

  2. CHECK FUEL PUMP POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Check voltage between ECM terminal 113 and ground with CONSULT or tester.
