Diagnosis 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-III or tester.

    Voltage: Battery voltage

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  4.

    NG: GO TO 3.

  3. CHECK FUEL PUMP POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect IPDM E/R harness connector E124.
    3. Check harness continuity between IPDM E/R terminal 40 and ECM terminal 113.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      Continuity should exist. 

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

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  13.

    NG: Repair open circuit or short to power or short to ground in harness or connectors.

  4. CHECK CONDENSER-2 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.
    3. Disconnect condenser-2 harness connector.
    4. Turn ignition switch ON.
    5. Check voltage between condenser-2 terminal 1 and ground with CONSULT-III or tester.

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

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  8.

    NG: GO TO 5.

  5. CHECK 15 A FUSE
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect 15 A fuse.
    3. Check 15 A fuse.

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 6.

    NG: Replace fuse.

  6. CHECK CONDENSER-2 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-II
    1. Disconnect IPDM E/R harness connector E124.
    2. Check harness continuity between IPDM E/R terminal 39 and condenser-2 terminal 1.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      Continuity should exist. 

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

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  13.

    NG: GO TO 7.
