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 feed hose for 1 second after ignition switch is turned ON. 

    OK or NG

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

  2. CHECK FUEL PUMP POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Check voltage between ECM terminal 113 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.

      Voltage: Battery voltage 

    OK or NG

    • OK: GO TO  5.
    • NG: GO TO  3.

  4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E131, M92
    • Harness for open or short between IPDM E/R and ECM
    • : Repair harness or connectors.
  5. CHECK CONDENSER POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.
    3. Disconnect condenser harness connector.
    4. Turn ignition switch ON.
    5. Check voltage between condenser terminal 1 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.

      Voltage: Battery voltage should exist for 1 second after ignition switch is turned ON. 

    6. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG

    • OK: GO TO  9.
    • NG: GO TO  6.
