SYSTEM OPERATION

Fuel Pressure Hold Inspection

Fuel Pressure Hold Inspection

  1. 1
    Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. 2
    Install a fuel pressure gauge as shown in the figure.

  3. 3
    Connect the negative battery cable.
  4. 4
    Connect the data link connector terminals F/P and GND by using a jumper wire.
    Two sub-diagrams. Left: data link connector pinout with a jumper wire bridging GND and F/P terminals. Right: data link connector with a JUMPER WIRE installed.
  5. 5
    Turn the ignition switch to ON for 10 sec. to operate the fuel pump.
  6. 6
    Turn the ignition switch to OFF and disconnect the jumper wire.
  7. 7
    Observe the fuel pressure after 5 min.
  8. 8
    If not as specified, perform the following inspections: Fuel pump hold pressure (Refer to page F2-111.); Pressure regulator hold pressure (Refer to page F2-114.); Fuel injector fuel leakage (Refer to page F2-116.)
Fuel pressureafter 5 min hold
More than 150kPa {1.5 kgf/cm2, 21 psi}

Fuel Line Pressure Inspection

Fuel Line Pressure Inspection

  1. 1
    Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. 2
    Install a fuel pressure gauge as shown in the figure.

  3. 3
    Connect the negative battery cable.
  4. 4
    Connect data link connector terminals F/P and GND by using a jumper wire.

  5. 5
    Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  6. 6
    Measure the fuel line pressure.
Fuel line pressure
260-310kPa {2.6-3.2 kgf/cm2, 37-45 psi}

Fuel line pressure out of specification

Pressure low
ActionMeasure fuel pump maximum pressure. (Refer to Page F2-110.) If as specified, the fuel line or fuel filter might be clogged or restricted.
Pressure high
ActionReplace the pressure regulator.
