On-Vehicle Inspection
- CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION AND FUEL LEAKAGE
- When using the intelligent tester.
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and the intelligent tester main switch on.NOTE: Do not start the engine.
- Select the Active Test mode on the intelligent tester.
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for further details.
- Check that there is no fuel leakage anywhere on the fuel system after doing maintenance.
- When using the intelligent tester.
- CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
- Discharge the fuel system pressure (See PRECAUTION ).
- Using a voltmeter, measure the battery voltage.
Standard voltage: 11 to 14 V
- Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal cable.
- Remove fuel pipe clamp No. 1 from the fuel tube connector.
- Disconnect the fuel hose from the fuel main tube.
- Install SST (pressure gauge and fuel tube connector) as shown in Fig 1
.
SST 09268-45014 (09268-41200, 09268-41220, 09268-41250), 09268-41047 (90467-13001, 95336-08070, 09268-41500)
- Wipe off any spilt gasoline.
- Reconnect the negative (-) battery terminal cable.
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3 (see step 1 in check fuel pump operation).
- Measure the fuel pressure.
Fuel pressure: 304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf*cm 2 , 44.1 to 49.7 psi)
If the pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If the pressure is low, check the fuel hoses, fuel hose connections, fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator.
- Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.
- Start the engine.
- Measure the fuel pressure while the engine is idling.
Fuel pressure: 304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf*cm 2 , 44.1 to 49.7 psi)
If the pressure is not as specified, check the vacuum sensing hose and the fuel pressure regulator.
- Stop the engine.
- Check that the fuel pressure remains as specified for 5 minutes after the engine stops.
Fuel pressure: 147 kPa (1.5 kgf*cm 2 , 21 psi) or more
If the pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure regulator and injectors.
- After checking the fuel pressure, disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal cable and carefully remove SST to prevent gasoline splashes.
- Reconnect the fuel tube to the fuel main tube.
- Install fuel pipe clamp No. 1 onto the fuel tube connector.
- Check for fuel leakage (step 1).
