Fuel Injectors (Camry Gasoline Models & Camry Solara)

  1. To check for fuel injector operation, using stethoscope, listen for clicking sound at each fuel injector, or feel for fuel injector operation at fuel injector with engine cranking or with engine running. If fuel injector operation does not exist, check for loose connection at electrical connector for fuel injector. If electrical connector for fuel injector is okay, go to next step.
  2. Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect electrical connector at fuel injector. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between electrical terminals on fuel injector. Replace fuel injector if resistance is not within specification. See FUEL INJECTOR RESISTANCE  table.
  3. If fuel injector operates and fuel injector resistance is within specification, go to next step. If fuel injector resistance is within specification but fuel injector does not operate, check wiring circuit to fuel injector. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If problem exists in fuel injector or wiring circuit and misfire exists, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be stored in Engine Control Module (ECM). See TESTING PROCEDURE under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article for retrieving of DTCs.
  4. To check fuel injector volume, remove fuel injector. See FUEL RAILS & FUEL INJECTORS under FUEL SYSTEMS in REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION - 4-CYLINDER article. Ensure area around fuel hose on top of fuel filter is clean. Remove union bolts with gaskets, and disconnect fuel hose from top of fuel filter.
  5. Install union, delivery hose, gaskets and union bolt from Fuel Injector Measuring Set (SST 09268-41047) on top of fuel filter. See Figure. Tighten union bolt to 21 ft. lbs. (29 N.m).
  6. Check that grommet and "O" ring are installed on top of fuel injector. Using clamp and union from fuel injector measuring set, connect fuel injector to delivery hose. See Figure.
  7. Place vinyl tube on end of fuel injector to prevent fuel spillage. Place fuel injector into a clean graduated container.
  8. Connect Toyota hand-held tester to data link connector No. 3. See Figure and Figure . Turn ignition on and then turn hand-held tester on. Select ACTIVE TEST MODE on hand-held tester. Using hand-held tester manufacturer's instructions, activate fuel pump.
    NOTE: If hand-held tester is not available, fuel pump may also be operated to pressurize fuel system by applying battery voltage to electrical terminals on fuel pump. For operating of fuel pump, see FUEL PUMP RESISTANCE & OPERATION  under FUEL DELIVERY under FUEL SYSTEMS.
  9. Connect Fuel Injector Tester (09842-30070) to fuel injector for 15 seconds. See Figure. Measure fuel injector volume. Test each fuel injector 2-3 times. Replace fuel injector if fuel injector volume is not within specification. See FUEL INJECTOR VOLUME SPECIFICATIONS  table. Ensure difference between fuel injector volume on all fuel injectors is within specification. See FUEL INJECTOR VOLUME SPECIFICATIONS  table.
  10. Disconnect fuel injector tester. Ensure fuel leakage from end of fuel injector does not exceed one drop in 12 minutes. Replace fuel injector if leakage exceeds one drop in 12 minutes. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove test equipment.
  11. Using NEW gaskets, install fuel hose on top of fuel filter. Tighten union bolt to 21 ft. lbs. (29 N.m). Install negative battery cable. Check for fuel leaks by operating the fuel pump by using hand-held tester or connecting battery voltage to fuel pump.
