  2. Using a jumper wire, short fuel pump relay terminals C and D in the relay and fuse block.
  3. Connect the negative battery cable and operate the fuel pump. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .)
  1. 8. Operate the fuel pump for 10 s  .
  2. 9. Measure the fuel line pressure.
    • If not within the specification, inspect the following:

      If it less than the specification: 

      • Fuel pump unit
      • Fuel line for restriction or leakage

      If it exceeds the specification:

    Fuel pressure 

    405-485 kPa {4.13-4.94 kgf/cm 2  , 58.8-70.3 psi} 

  3. 10. Stop the fuel pump using the following procedure.

    Using M-MDS 

    1. Using the simulation function "FP", stop the fuel pump. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .)

    Without using M-MDS 

    1. Disconnect the negative battery cable to stop the fuel pump. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .)
  4. 11. Measure the fuel hold pressure after 5 min  .
    • If not within the specification, inspect the following:
      • Fuel line leakage

    Fuel hold pressure 

    230 kPa {2.35 kgf/cm 2  , 33.4 psi} or more 

  5. 12. Complete the "BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION". (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION .)
  6. 13. Disconnect the SST  .
