Fuel Pressure Test
- Release the residual pressure in fuel line (Refer to "Release Residual Pressure in Fuel Line ").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 high pressure fuel pump.CAUTION: There 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 high pressure fuel pump .
- Disconnect the fuel feed tube from the high pressure fuel pump.
- Inspect fuel leakage on connections among the fuel feed tube, the high pressure fuel pump, and the SST components with IG ON.
- Measure Fuel Pressure.
- Start the engine and measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel Pressure:
579 kPa (5.9 kgf/cm, 83.9 psi)
- Stop the engine, and then check for the change in the fuel pressure gauge reading.NOTE: If the fuel pressure differs from the standard value, repair or replace the related part .

- Test End
- Remove the Special Service Tool (SST) from the fuel feed tube and the high pressure fuel pump.
- Connect the fuel feed tube and the high pressure fuel pump.
