Circuit/System Verification
NOTE:
- The resistance test must be performed at the Fuel Injector or mis-diagnosis will occur.
- The DMM and test leads must be calibrated to 0 Ω in order to prevent mis-diagnosis.
Verify the resistance of each fuel injector:
Fuel Injector Coil Test
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool ECT temperature is between 10 - 32°C (50 - 90°F).
- If not within the specified range
- Measure and record the resistance of each Q17 Fuel Injector with a DMM.
- Subtract the lowest resistance value from the highest resistance value.
- Verify the difference between the lowest value and the highest value is 3 Ω or less.
- If the difference is greater than 3 Ω
- Add all of the Q17 Fuel Injector resistance values to obtain a total resistance value.
- Divide the total resistance by the number of fuel injectors to obtain an average resistance value.
- Subtract the lowest individual fuel injector resistance value from the average resistance value
- Subtract the average resistance value from the highest individual fuel injector resistance value.
- Replace the Q17 Fuel Injector that displays the greatest difference above or below the average value.
- If within the specified range
- Test for 11 - 14 Ω between terminal A and terminal B of each Q17 Fuel Injector.
- If not between 11 - 14 Ω
Replace the Q17 Fuel Injector.
- If between 11 - 14 Ω
- If not between 11 - 14 Ω
- Verify infinite resistance between each terminal at the Q17 Fuel Injector and the fuel injector housing/case.
- If less than infinite resistance
Replace the Q17 Fuel Injector
- If infinite resistance
- If less than infinite resistance
- Perform the Fuel Injector Balance Test - Fuel Pressure Test.
Fuel Injector Balance Test - Fuel Pressure Test
- Ignition ON, engine OFF, command the Fuel Pump Enable On several times with a scan tool.
- Verify the Chassis Control Module Fuel Pressure Sensor parameter is between 345-690 kPa (50-100 PSI) with the fuel pump running.
- If not between 345-690 kPa (50-100 PSI)
Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis
- If between 345-690 kPa (50-100 PSI)
- If not between 345-690 kPa (50-100 PSI)
- Verify that the Chassis Control Module Fuel Pressure Sensor parameter stabilizes to 500-599 kPa (72-87 PSI) after the fuel pump is turned off.
- If the fuel pressure does not stabilize to 500-599 kPa (72-87 PSI)
Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis
- If the fuel pressure stabilizes to 500-599 kPa (72-87 PSI)
- If the fuel pressure does not stabilize to 500-599 kPa (72-87 PSI)
- Verify the Fuel Pressure Sensor parameter does not decrease greater than 34 kPa (5 PSI) in 1 min.
- If the fuel pressure decreases greater than 34 kPa (5 PSI)
Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis
- If the fuel pressure does not decrease greater than 34 kPa (5 PSI)
- If the fuel pressure decreases greater than 34 kPa (5 PSI)
- Perform the appropriate Fuel Injector Balance Test.
NOTE:
The fuel pressure may vary slightly when the fuel pump stops operating. After the fuel pump stops operating, the fuel pressure should stabilize and remain constant.
