On-Vehicle Inspection
- CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.NOTE: Do not start the engine.
- Select the following menu items: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Active Test/Control the Fuel Pump Speed.
- Touch the fuel hose in the engine compartment to check the fuel flow, and you will be able to hear the sound of the fuel pump.
- Stop the fuel pump. If there is no fuel flow, the fuel pump may not be operating. Check the fuel pump circuit.
- CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
- Using a voltmeter, measure the battery voltage.
Standard voltage:
11 to 14 V
- Discharge the fuel system pressure (see PRECAUTION ).
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
- Disconnect the fuel main tube (see REMOVAL ).
- Install SST (pressure gauge) using SST and a fuel tube connector as shown in the illustration.
SST 09268-31012 (90467-13001, 95336-08070, 09268-41500), 09268-45014 (09268-41200, 09268-41220, 09268-41250)
- Wipe up any gasoline.
- Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
- Start the engine.
- Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Standard fuel pressure:
304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm 2 , 44 to 50 psi)
- If the fuel pressure is greater than the standard value, replace the fuel pump.
- If the fuel pressure is less than the standard value, check the connection of the fuel hose and the fuel pump.
- Stop the engine.
- Check that the fuel pressure remains as specified for 5 minutes after the engine stops.
Standard fuel pressure:
147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm 2 , 21 psi) or more
If the fuel pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump or fuel injector.
- After checking the fuel pressure, carefully disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, and remove SST and fuel tube connector to prevent gasoline from splashing.
- Reconnect the fuel main tube (see INSTALLATION ).
- Inspect for fuel leaks.
- Using a voltmeter, measure the battery voltage.
