      NOTE:

      When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected.

      Refer to INITIALIZATION [09/2015 - 08/2016] , or refer to INITIALIZATION [08/2016 - 12/2017]

    4. Remove the No. 2 fuel pipe clamp from the fuel tube connector.

        6. 95336-08070
    8. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
    9. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
      NOTE:

      When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected.

      Refer to INITIALIZATION [09/2015 - 08/2016] , or refer to INITIALIZATION [08/2016 - 12/2017]

    10. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    11. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      NOTE:

      Do not start the engine.

    12. Turn the Techstream on.
    13. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the Circuit Relay.

      Powertrain > Engine > Active Test 

      Tester Display
      Activate the Circuit Relay
    14. Measure the fuel pressure.

      Standard Fuel Pressure

      196 to 833 kPa (2.0 to 8.5 kgf/cm2 , 28 to 121 psi)

      • If the fuel pressure is less than the standard, check the fuel hoses and their connections, fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel main valve assembly.
      • If the result is not as specified, replace the fuel main valve assembly.
    15. Disconnect the Techstream from the DLC3.
    16. Start the engine.
    17. Measure the fuel pressure at idle.

      HINT: 

      Refer to Standard Idle Speed.

      Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 10 [09/2015 - 08/2016] , or refer to PROCEDURE - Step 10 [08/2016 - 08/2019]

    18. Stop the engine.
    19. Check that the fuel pressure remains as specified for 5 minutes.

      Standard Fuel Pressure

      98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2 , 14 psi) or more

      If the result is not as specified, check the fuel pump, fuel main valve assembly and/or fuel injector assemblies.

    20. After checking the fuel pressure, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and carefully remove SST to prevent fuel from spraying.

    22. Connect the No. 2 fuel tube sub-assembly (for Direct Injection).
      1. Connect the No. 2 fuel tube sub-assembly to the fuel pipe.

        Refer to PRECAUTION [09/2015 - 12/2017] 

    23. Install the No. 2 fuel pipe clamp to the fuel tube connector.
    24. Inspect for fuel leaks.

      See step  1

  3. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE (for High Pressure)

      Standard Fuel Pressure

      2400 to 19500 kPa (24.5 to 198.8 kgf/cm2 , 348 to 2828 psi)

      If the result is not as specified, check the fuel pump, fuel pump assembly, fuel pressure sensor and wire harnesses.
