provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) enables the appropriate fuel injector pulse for each cylinder. The ignition voltage is supplied directly to the fuel
injectors. The ECM controls each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit via a solid state device called a driver. A fuel injector coil winding
resistance that is too high or too low will affect the engine driveability. A fuel injector control circuit DTC may not set, but a misfire may be apparent.
The fuel injector coil windings are affected by temperature. The resistance of the fuel injector coil windings will increase as the temperature of the fuel
injector increases.
The CH-47976 Active Fuel Injector Tester (AFIT) , is used to test the fuel pump, fuel system leak down, and the fuel injectors. Following the User
Guide, CH 47976-11, and the on screen prompts or selections, will indicate the steps required to perform each of the available tests. The tester will
perform all of the tests automatically and display results of the test. The results can also be down loaded for storage and printing.

Component Testing
Fuel Injector Coil Test
Verify the resistance of each fuel injector with one of the following methods:
*
If the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is between 10-32°C (50-90°F), the resistance of each fuel injector should be 11-14 ohms.
‹› If the injectors measure OK, perform the AFIT Test Procedure.
‹› If not within the specified range, replace the fuel injector.
*
If the ECT sensor is not between 10-32°C (50-90°F), measure and record the resistance of each fuel injector with a DMM. Subtract the lowest
resistance value from the highest resistance value. The difference between the lowest value and the highest value should be equal to or less than 3
ohms.
‹› If the difference is equal to or less than 3 ohms, refer to the AFIT Test Procedure.
‹› If the difference is more than 3 ohms, add all of the fuel injector resistance values to obtain a total resistance value. Divide the total resistance
value by the number of fuel injectors to obtain an average resistance value. Subtract the lowest individual fuel injector resistance value from
the average resistance value. Compute the difference between the highest individual fuel injector resistance value and the average resistance
value. Replace the fuel injector that displays the greatest difference above or below the average.
