April 5, 2026: LEMON Manuals is launched! Read the announcement.

Fuel Injector Circuit

CAUTION:

Check or repair only faulty parts.
After servicing or replacing faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Mode Ref. to OPERATION , Clear Memory Mode, and Inspection Mode Ref. to PROCEDURE , Inspection Mode.
Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance.

Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK OPERATION OF EACH FUEL INJECTOR. While cranking the engine, check each fuel injector emits operating sound. Use a sound scope or attach a screwdriver to the injector to listen to sounds for this check.	Does the fuel injector emit operating sound?	Check the fuel pressure. Ref. to INSPECTION , Fuel Pressure.	Go to step 2
2 CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO EACH FUEL INJECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connector from fuel injector. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Measure the power supply voltage between fuel injector terminal and engine ground. Connector & terminal #1 (E5) No. 2 (+) - Engine ground (-): #2 (E16) No. 2 (+) - Engine ground (-): #3 (E6) No. 2 (+) - Engine ground (-): #4 (E17) No. 2 (+) - Engine ground (-):	Is the voltage 10 V or more?	Go to step 3	Repair the harness and connector. NOTE: In this case, repair the following item: Open circuit in harness between main relay connector and fuel injector connector Poor contact of main relay connector Poor contact of coupling connector
3 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FUEL INJECTOR CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connector from ECM. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and fuel injector connector. Connector & terminal #1 (E158) No. 23 - (E5) No. 1: #2 (E158) No. 8 - (E16) No. 1: #3 (E158) No. 9 - (E6) No. 1: #4 (E158) No. 22 - (E17) No. 1:	Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?	Go to step 4	Repair the harness and connector. NOTE: In this case, repair the following item: Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and fuel injector connector Poor contact of coupling connector
4 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FUEL INJECTOR CONNECTOR. Measure the resistance between ECM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal #1 (E158) No. 23 - Chassis ground: #2 (E158) No. 8 - Chassis ground: #3 (E158) No. 9 - Chassis ground: #4 (E158) No. 22 - Chassis ground:	Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?	Go to step 5	Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and fuel injector connector.
5 CHECK EACH FUEL INJECTOR. Measure the resistance between each fuel injector terminals. Terminals No. 1 - No. 2:	Is the resistance 5 - 20 Ω?	Go to step 6	Replace the faulty fuel injector. Ref. to FUEL INJECTOR
6 CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT. Check for poor contact of ECM connector.	Is there poor contact of ECM connector?	Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.	Inspection using "General Diagnostic Table" Ref. to INSPECTION , General Diagnostic Table.
