Fuel Pressure Control System

  1. Ensure water temperature sensor is functioning properly before diagnosing fuel pressure control system. See CODE 22 in G - TEST W/ CODES article in this section. Ensure airflow meter is functioning properly before diagnosing fuel pressure control system. See appropriate AIRFLOW METER  section in ENGINE SENSORS & SWITCHES.
  2. Disconnect electrical connector from fuel pressure Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV). Using a DVOM, measure resistance between VSV terminals. Resistance should be 33-39 ohms (cold) on ES250 or 30-50 ohms on LS400. If resistance is not within specification, replace VSV.
  3. Using a DVOM, check for continuity between each VSV terminal and ground (outside of VSV). If continuity is present, replace VSV. With electrical connector disconnected, ensure air flows between VSV ports.
  4. Apply battery voltage between VSV terminals. Apply air to port E. See Fig 1. Air should flow from port E to filter. If air does not flow as indicated, replace VSV.
