On-Vehicle Inspection
- CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION AND FUEL LEAK
- When using the intelligent tester
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and intelligent tester main switch ON.NOTE: Do not start the engine.
- Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the intelligent tester.
- Please refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for further details.
- When not using the intelligent tester
- Remove the circuit opening relay.
- Using a service wire, connect terminals FP and +B of the 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.
- Check that the pulsation damper screw rises up when the fuel pump operates.
If operation is not as specified, check the following parts:
- Fusible link
- Fuses
- EFI main relay
- Fuel pump
- ECM
- Wiring connections
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.
- When using the intelligent tester
- CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
- Check the battery positive voltage is above 12 V.
- Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
- Remove the front fuel pipe from the LH delivery pipe (See REMOVAL ).
- Install the front fuel pipe and SST (pressure gauge) to the delivery pipe with the 3 gaskets and another SST (adaptor).
SST 09268-45014 (09268-41200, 09268-41190, 90405-06167, 09268-41210, 90467-11009)
Torque: 39 N*m (400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf)
- Wipe off any splattered gasoline.
- Reconnect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3 (See step 1 in check fuel pump operation).
- Measure the fuel pressure.
Fuel pressure:
265 to 304 kPa (2.7 to 3.1 kgf/cm 2 , 38 to 44 psi)
If pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If pressure is low, check the following parts:
- Fuel hoses and connections
- Fuel pump
- Fuel filter
- Fuel pressure regulator
- Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.
- Start the engine.
- Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel pressure:
265 to 304 kPa (2.7 to 3.1 kgf/cm 2 , 38 to 44 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 regulator and/or injectors.
- After checking the fuel pressure, disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery and carefully remove the SST to prevent gasoline from splashing.

- Reinstall the front fuel pipe to the LH delivery pipe (See INSTALLATION ).
- Reconnect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
- Check for fuel leaks (See step 1 in check fuel pump operation).
