On-Vehicle Inspection
- CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION AND FOR FUEL LEAKS
- When using the intelligent tester:
Check fuel pump operation.
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and push the intelligent tester main switch ON.NOTE: Do not start the engine.
- Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the intelligent tester.
- If you need help selecting the ACTIVE TEST on the intelligent tester, refer to the intelligent tester is instruction manual.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.
- When not using the intelligent tester: Check fuel pump operation.
- Remove the C/OPN relay from the engine room J/B.
- Using a service wire, connect terminals FP and +B of the engine room J/B.NOTE: Pay close attention to the terminal connecting position to avoid a malfunction.
- Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the fuel pump operates.NOTE: Do not start the engine.
- Check that there are no fuel leaks after doing maintenance anywhere on the fuel system.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Remove the service wire from the engine room J/B.
- Install the C/OPN relay to the engine room J/B.
- When using the intelligent tester:
- CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
- Check that the battery positive voltage is above 12 V.
- Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
- Purchase a new fuel tube and take out the fuel tube connector from its pipe.
Fuel: Part No. 23801-20190
- Remove the fuel pipe clamp No. 1 from the fuel tube connector.
- Disconnect the fuel tube connector from the fuel pipe by pinching part A with your fingers, as shown in the illustration.CAUTION:
- Always read the precautions (See PRECAUTION ) before disconnecting the fuel tube connector (quick type).
- The fuel pipe line may spray fuel as a result of retained pressure that remains in it. Do not allow fuel to be sprayed in the engine compartment.
- Install SST (pressure gauge) and fuel tube connector using SST as shown in the illustration.
SST 09268-41047, 09268-45014 (09268-41250)
- Wipe off any gasoline.
- Reconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
- When using intelligent tester:
Operate the fuel pump (see step a).
- When not using intelligent tester:
Operate the fuel pump (see step b).
- Measure the fuel pressure.
Fuel pressure: 304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm 2, 44 to 50 psi)
If the pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If the pressure is low, check the fuel hoses and connections, fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator.
- Start the engine.
- Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel pressure: 304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm 2, 44 to 50 psi)
- Stop the engine.
- Check that the fuel pressure remains as specified for 5 minutes after the engine has stopped.
Fuel pressure: 147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm 2, 21 psi)
If the pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure regulator and/or injectors.
- After checking the fuel pressure, disconnect the negative (-) battery cable and carefully remove SST and the fuel tube connector to prevent gasoline from spraying.
- Reconnect the fuel inlet tube (fuel tube connector).CAUTION: Always read the precautions (See PRECAUTION ) before connecting the fuel tube connector (quick type).
