On-Vehicle Inspection
- CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON. Do not start the engine.
- Select the tester menus: DIAGNOSIS, ENHANCED OBD II, ACTIVE TEST and FUEL PUMP/SPD, to operate the fuel pump.
- Touch the fuel hose in the engine compartment to check the fuel flow.
- Stop the fuel pump.
If there is no fuel flow, the fuel pump may not operate. Check the fuel pump circuit (see FUEL PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT ).
- CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
- Check that the battery positive voltage is above 12 V.
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
- Remove the fuel pipe clamp No. 1 from the fuel tube connector.
- Disconnect the fuel tube connector from the fuel pipe by pinching part A with your fingers, as shown in the illustration.

CAUTION:- Always read the precautions (See PRECAUTION ) before disconnecting the fuel tube connector (quick type).
- The fuel pipe line may spray fuel as a result of retained pressure that remains in it. Do not allow fuel to be sprayed in the engine compartment.
- Install SST (pressure gauge) and the fuel tube connector using SST as shown in the illustration.
SST 09268-31012 (09268-41500, 90467-13001,
95336-08070), 09268-45014 (09268-41200,
09268-41220, 09268-41250)
- Wipe up any gasoline.
- Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
- When using the intelligent tester: Operate the fuel pump (See step 1).
- Measure the fuel pressure.

Fuel pressure:
304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm 2 , 44 to 50 psi)
If the pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If the pressure is low, check the fuel hoses and connections, fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator.
- Start the engine.
- Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel pressure:
304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm 2 , 44 to 50 psi)
- Stop the engine.
- Check that the fuel pressure remains as specified for 5 minutes after the engine has stopped.
Fuel pressure:
147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm 2 , 21 psi)
If the pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure regulator and/or injectors.
- After checking the fuel pressure, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and carefully remove SST and the fuel tube connector to prevent gasoline from spraying.
- Reconnect the fuel inlet tube (fuel tube connector).CAUTION: Always read the precautions (See PRECAUTION ) before connecting the fuel tube connector (quick type).
