On-Vehicle Inspection
- Check fuel pressure
- Prepare for inspection.
- Purchase the new No. 1 fuel pipe and take out the fuel tube connector from its pipe.
NOTE: Part No. 23801-20150 - Work for prevent gasoline from spilling out. See step 2.
- Remove the fuel pipe clamp No. 1 from the fuel tube connector.
- Disconnect the fuel tube connector from the fuel pipe while pinching part A with fingers as shown in the illustration.CAUTION:
- Perform disconnecting operations of the fuel tube connector (quick type) after observing the precautions.
- As there is retained pressure in the fuel pipe line, prevent it from splashing inside the engine compartment.
- Install SST (pressure gauge) as shown in the illustration by using SST and fuel tube connector.
SST 09268-41047 (95336-08070), 09268-45014 (09268-41250)
- Wipe off any splattered gasoline.
- Reconnect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
- Connect the hand-hand tester to the DLC3.
- Measure the fuel pressure regulator.
Fuel pressure:
304-343 kPa (3.1-3.5 kgf/cm 2 , 44-50 psl)
If pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator. If pressure is low, check the fuel hoses and connections, fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator.
- Disconnect the hand-held tester from the DLC3.
- Start the engine.
- Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel pressure:
304-343 kPa (3.1-3.5 kgf/cm 2 , 44-50 psi)
- Stop the engine.
- Check that the fuel pressure remains as specified for 5 minutes after the engine has stopped.
Fuel pressures 47 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm 2 , 21 psi) or more
If pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure regulator and/or injectors.
- After checking fuel pressure, disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery and carefully remove the SST and fuel tube connector to prevent gasoline from splashing.
- Reconnect the No. 1 fuel pipe (fuel tube connector).CAUTION: Perform connecting operations of the fuel tube connector (quick type) after observing the precautions.
- Prepare for inspection.
- Check fuel pump operation and fuel leak.
- When using hand-held tester
- Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and hand-held tester main switch ON.
NOTE: Do not start the engine.
- Select the active test mode on the hand-held tester.
- Please refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.
- When not using hand-held tester.
- Remove the circuit opening relay.
- Using a service wire connect terminals FP and +B of the relay block.NOTE: Pay due attention to the terminal connecting position to avoid a malfunction.
- Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the fuel pump operates.
NOTE: Do not start the engine.
- Check that there are no fuel leaks after doing maintenance anywhere on the fuel system.
