Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION
    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Pinch fuel feed hose (1) with two fingers.
      • This illumination is shows the view with intake air duct removed.

        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.
