Diagnostic Procedure

  1. CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION 
    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Pinch fuel feed hose with two fingers.

      Fuel pressure pulsation should be felt on the fuel hose for 1 second after ignition switch is turned ON. 

    OK or NG

    1. OK : INSPECTION END 
    2. NG : GO TO 2.
