Step 3-4
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) affects the ability of the fuel injector tester to detect a faulty fuel injector.
3. The first second of the voltage displayed by the DMM may be inaccurate due to the initial current surge, therefore, record the lowest voltage
displayed by the DMM after the first second of the test. The voltage displayed by the DMM may increase throughout the test as the fuel injector
windings warm and the resistance of the fuel injector windings changes. An erratic voltage reading, or large fluctuations in voltage that do not
stabilize, indicates an intermittent connection within the fuel injector. From the voltages recorded, identify the highest voltage, excluding any
voltages of more than 9.5 volts. Subtract each voltage that is not more than 9.5 volts from the highest voltage. Record each subtracted value. Refer
to the Example. The subtracted value for any fuel injector must not exceed 0.8 volt. A fuel injector with a subtracted value that is more than 0.6
volt is considered faulty and must be replaced. A fuel injector with a recorded voltage of more than 9.5 volts is also considered faulty and must be
replaced.
