Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION
    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Pinch fuel feed hose (1) with two fingers.
    • ←: Vehicle front

    Fuel pressure pulsation should be felt on the fuel feed hose for 1 second after ignition switch is turned ON  .

    OK or NG 

    OK: INSPECTION END 

    NG: GO TO 2.

  2. CHECK FUEL PUMP POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Check voltage between ECM terminal 14 and ground with CONSULT or tester.

    Voltage: Battery voltage

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 4.

    NG: GO TO  11.

  4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E3, F2
    • Harness for open or short between IPDM E/R and ECM

    Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  5. CHECK FUEL PUMP POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-III
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.
    3. Disconnect "fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump" harness connector (1).
      • This illumination is shows the view with inspection hole cover removed.
    4. Turn ignition switch ON.
