On-Vehicle Inspection
- CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
- Discharge the fuel pressure and take precautions against possible fuel spillage (see FUEL SYSTEM (3MZ-FE) ).
- Check that the battery voltage is above 12 V.
- Disconnect the engine wire No. 3 (battery negative terminal).
- Pull out the fuel tube connector from a new fuel tube.
HINT:
Part No. 23801-20190
- Remove the fuel pipe clamp.
- Disconnect the quick connector from the fuel pipe by pinching portion A with your fingers as shown in the illustration.CAUTION:
- After taking the precautions, disconnect the quick connector.
- As pressure remains in the fuel line, prevent it from splashing inside the engine compartment.
- Install SST (a pressure gauge) and fuel tube connector using SST as shown in the illustration.
- SST 09268-41047 (95336-08070), 09268-45014 (09268-41250, 09268-41200, 09268-41220)
- Wipe up any gasoline.
- Reconnect the engine wire No. 3 (battery negative terminal).
- Connect the hand-hand tester to the DLC3.
- 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 hose connections, fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator.
- Disconnect the hand-held tester from the DLC3.
- Start the engine.
- n) 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) or more
If the pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure regulator and/or fuel injectors.
- After checking the fuel pressure, disconnect the battery negative terminal and carefully remove SST and the fuel tube connector to prevent gasoline splash.
- Reconnect the No. 1 fuel pipe (the fuel tube connector).
CAUTION: After taking the precautions, connect the quick connector. - CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION AND FUEL LEAK
- When using the hand-held tester.
- Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and the hand-held tester ON.NOTE: Do not start the engine.
- Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the hand-held tester.
- If you need help to select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the hand-held tester, refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual.
- When not using the hand-held tester.
- Remove the circuit opening relay.
- Using a service wire, connect terminals FP and +B of the engine room relay block.NOTE: Pay due attention to the terminal connecting position to avoid a malfunction.
- Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the fuel pump operates.
NOTE: Do not start the engine. - Check that there are no fuel leaks after doing maintenance anywhere on the fuel system.
- When using the hand-held tester.
