Checking Fuel Pressure
WARNING:
High fuel pressure may be present in fuel lines. Open fuel system with caution. See FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE procedure.
- Using scan tool, stop fuel system actuation. Release fuel pressure. Remove fuel pressure gauge from fuel rail. Reconnect fuel supply line. If vehicle is a FJ22 body, go to step 3). If vehicle is a JA body, remove fuel return line between fuel tank and fuel filter.
- Adjust shop air to 40 psi (2.8 kg/cm2 ). Using shop air, attempt to blow air through fuel return line. If fuel return line is restricted, replace fuel return line. Perform TEST VER-2. If fuel return line is not restricted, replace fuel pressure regulator. Perform TEST VER-2 .
- Inspect fuel return line for kinks or restrictions. Repair fuel return line as necessary. Perform TEST VER-2. If no kinked or restricted lines exist, disconnect fuel return line at fuel rail. Connect one end of a hose to fuel rail nipple in place of fuel return line.
- Put other end of hose into an approved 2 gallon container. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, actuate fuel system. Observe fuel pressure gauge. If pressure is more than 53 psi (3.7 kg/cm2 ), release fuel pressure. Replace fuel pressure regulator. Perform TEST VER-2. If pressure is less than 53 psi (3.7 kg/cm2 ), go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Reconnect fuel return line to fuel rail. Disconnect fuel return line at fuel tank. Put end of disconnected fuel hose into an approved 2 gallon container. Using scan tool, actuate fuel system. Observe fuel pressure gauge. If fuel pressure is more than 53 psi (3.7 kg/cm2 ), release fuel pressure. Repair fuel return line for kinks or restrictions. Perform TEST VER-2 . If fuel pressure is less than 53 psi (3.7 kg/cm2 ), release fuel pressure. Repair or replace fuel tank inlet strainer for a restriction. Perform TEST VER-2.
