Fuel Pressure: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
1. Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line.
2. Using backup wrench, loosen plug bolt on fuel delivery pipe and remove it. Connect special tools (fuel pressure gauge) to delivery pipe.
CAUTION: A small amount of fuel may be released when plug bolt is loosened. Place container under the bolt or cover bolt hole with a shop
cloth so that released fuel is caught in container or absorbed in cloth. Place that cloth in an approved container.
Special Tool: (A): 09912 - 58441, (B): 09912 - 58431, (C): 09919 - 46010
3. Check that battery voltage is above 11V.
4. Turn ignition switch ON to operate fuel pump and after 3 seconds turn it OFF. Repeat this 3 or 4 times and then check fuel pressure.
5. Start engine.
6. Measure fuel pressure at idling. If measured pressure doesn't satisfy specification, refer to Fuel Pressure/Flow of Diagnosis and check each
possibly defective part. Replace if found defective.
7. After checking fuel pressure, remove fuel pressure gauge.
CAUTION: As fuel feed line is still under high fuel pressure, make sure to release fuel pressure according to following procedures.
-
Place fuel container under joint.
-
Cover joint with rag and loosen joint nut slowly to release fuel pressure gradually.
