On-Vehicle Inspection
- CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION
- Connect a 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 .
- If you have no hand-held tester, connect the positive (+) and negative (-) leads from the battery to the fuel pump connector (See 7 ).
- Check that there is pressure in the fuel inlet hose from the fuel filter.
HINT:
If there is fuel pressure, you will hear the sound of fuel flowing. If there is no pressure, check these parts:
- Fusible link
- Fuses
- EFI main relay
- Fuel pump
- ECM
- Wiring connections
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
- Disconnect the hand-held tester from the DLC3.
- CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
- Check the battery positive voltage is above 12 V.
- Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
- Purchase the new No.1 fuel pipe and take out the fuel tube connector from its pipe.
Part No. 23801-20070
- Remove the fuel hose clamp.
- Disconnect the No.1 fuel pipe (fuel tube connector) from the fuel filter outlet.CAUTION:
- Perform disconnecting operations of the fuel tube connector (quick type) after observing the precautions (See PRECAUTION ).
- 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 Fig 6
,by using SST and fuel tube connector.
SST 09268-41047, 09268-45014
- Wipe off any splattered gasoline.
- Reconnect the hand-held tester to the DLC3 (See 1 )
- Reconnect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
- Measure the fuel pressure.
Fuel pressure:
301 - 347 kPa (3.1 - 3.5 kgf/cm 2 , 44 - 50 psi)
If pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If pressure is low, check these parts:
- Fuel hoses and connections
- Fuel pump
- Fuel filter
- Fuel pressure regulator
- Disconnect the hand-held tester from the DLC3.
- Start the engine.
- Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel pressure:
301 - 347 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 pressure:
147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm 2 , 21 psi) or more
If pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure
- 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 tube connector (quick type) after observing the precautions (See PRECAUTION ).
- Surely install the hose clamp to the fuel filter with "click" sound.
- After installing the clamp, check that the clamp is fixed by pulling up to the clamp.
- Reconnect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
- Check for fuel leaks.
- REMOVE REAR SEAT CUSHION
- REMOVE FLOOR SERVICE HOLE COVER
- DISCONNECT FUEL PUMP & SENDER GAUGE CONNECTOR
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP RESISTANCE
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals 4 and 5.
Resistance: 0.2 - 3.0 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the fuel pump.
- INSPECT FUEL PUMP OPERATION
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 4 of the connector, and the negative (-) lead to terminal 5. Check that the fuel pump operates.
NOTE:- These tests must be done quickly (within 10 seconds) to prevent the coil burning out.
- Keep the fuel pump as far away from the battery as possible.
- Always do the switching at the battery side.
If operation is not as specified, replace the fuel pump or lead wire.
- RECONNECT FUEL PUMP & SENDER GAUGE CONNECTOR
- REINSTALL FLOOR SERVICE HOLE COVER
- REINSTALL REAR SEAT CUSHION
