On-Vehicle Inspection
- CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
- Prepare for the inspection.
- Prepare a NEW fuel tube.
- Using a cutter knife, cut off the protector of the fuel tube as illustrated. Tear off the protector by hand, then remove the fuel tube connector.
WARNING: If the protector is cut too deeply using a cutter, the O-ring of the fuel tube connector will be damaged. - Discharge fuel system pressure (see PRECAUTION ).
- Remove the rear floor board No. 2 (see REAR FLOOR BOARD NO. 2 REMOVAL ).
- Remove the deck floor box rear (see DECK FLOOR BOX REAR REMOVAL ).
- Remove the rear floor board No. 3 (see REAR FLOOR BOARD NO. 3 REMOVAL ).
- Using a voltmeter, measure battery voltage.
- Standard: 9.0 to 14 V
- Disconnect the engine wire No. 3 (battery negative terminal) (see ENGINE WIRE NO. 3 (BATTERY NEGATIVE TERMINAL) REPLACEMENT ).
- Disconnect the fuel tube (see ) FUEL INJECTOR ASSY ).
- Install SST and the fuel tube connector to the vehicle.
- SST 09268-41047 (95336-08070), 09268-45014 (09268-41200, 09268-41220, 09268-41250)
- Wipe off the split gasoline.
- Connect the engine wire No. 3 (battery negative terminal) (see ENGINE WIRE NO. 3 (BATTERY NEGATIVE TERMINAL) INSTALLATION ).
- Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
- Measure the fuel pressure.
Standard:
304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm2, 44 to 50 psi)
- If the fuel pressure is greater than the standard value, replace the fuel tank.
- If the fuel pressure is less than the standard value, check the connection of the fuel hose and the fuel tank.
- Disconnect the hand-held tester from the DLC3.
- Set the vehicle to inspection mode (see INSPECTION MODE ).
- Start the engine.
- Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Standard:
304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm 2 , 44 to 50 psi)
- Stop the engine.
- After stopping the engine, check that the fuel pressure does not change for 5 minutes.
- Standard: 147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm 2 , 21 psi) or more
If the fuel pressure is not as specified, check tha fuel tank or fuel injector (see INSPECTION ).
- After measuring the fuel pressure, disconnect the engine wire No. 3 (battery negative terminal). Remove SST and the fuel tube connector while paying attention to prevent gasoline splash.
- Connect the fuel tube (see ) INSTALLING FUEL INJECTOR ASSY ).
- Prepare for the inspection.
- CHECK FUEL PUMP
- Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch ON (IG).NOTE: Do not start the engine.
- Turn the hand-held tester ON.
- Select the item: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / FUEL PUMP/SPD.
- Check the fuel pump operation while operating it with the hand-held tester II.
If the fuel pump does not operate, replace the fuel tank.
- CHECK FOR FUEL LEAKS
- Check that there are no leaks in the fuel system while fuel pressure is applied.
