Test NS-2A - Checking Fuel System
NOTE:
For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION

at end of article.
- Using DRB-II, read Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) voltage. If TPS voltage is more than 1.5 volts, replace TPS. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1.
- If TPS voltage is less than 1.5 volts, disconnect fuel injector No. 1 connector. See Fig 1 . Put DRB-II in voltmeter mode. Using DRB-II, actuate fuel system.
- Probe fuel injector connector terminal No. 2 (Dark Green/Red or Dark Green/Orange wire). If voltage is less 10 volts, repair open Dark Green/Red or Dark Green/Orange wire between injector No. 1 connector and ASD relay connector.
- If voltage is more than 10 volts, listen for fuel pump operating sound at fuel tank. If fuel pump operating sound cannot be heard, perform TEST NS-7A. If fuel pump operating sound can be heard, turn ignition switch to OFF position.
- Reconnect fuel injector No. 1 connector. Disconnect MAP sensor connector. Disconnect Single Board Engine Controller (SBEC) 60-pin connector. Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance of Violet/White wire between SBEC connector terminal No. 6 and MAP sensor connector terminal No. 3.
- If resistance is more than 10 ohms, repair open in Violet/White wire between SBEC and MAP sensor connectors. If resistance is less than 10 ohms, reconnect MAP sensor and SBEC connectors.WARNING: High fuel pressure may be present in fuel lines. Open fuel system with caution. See FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE procedure in this article.
- Install fuel pressure gauge in fuel supply line at fuel rail. Ensure fuel tank is at least 1/4 full. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Actuate fuel system using DRB-II.
- Read fuel pressure gauge. If fuel pressure is more than 48 psi, go to TEST NS-4B. If fuel pressure is less than 38 psi, perform TEST NS-4A. If fuel pressure is more than 38 psi and vehicle starts and stalls repeatedly, go to TEST NS-12A. If fuel pressure is more than 38 psi and vehicle does not start, go to TEST NS-3A.
