HHR L4-2.4L (2010)
2. Ignition OFF, all accessories OFF, install a CH 48027 - Gage. Refer to Fuel Pressure Gauge Installation and Removal (See: Fuel Pressure Gauge
Installation and Removal).
3. Ignition ON, engine OFF, command the fuel pump relay ON with a scan tool. Verify the fuel pressure is between 345-414 kPa (50-60 psi) and
does not decrease more than 34 kPa (5 psi) in 1 minute.
Circuit/System Testing
Note:
*
The fuel pump relay may need to be commanded ON a few times in order to obtain the highest possible fuel pressure.
*
DO NOT start the engine.
1. Ignition ON, engine OFF, command the fuel pump relay ON with a scan tool and observe the fuel pressure gauge while the fuel pump is operating.
Verify the fuel pressure is between 345-414 kPa (50-60 psi).
‹› If the fuel pressure is greater than the specified range, replace the fuel pump module.
‹› If the fuel pressure is less than the specified range, test, inspect, and repair the items listed below. If all items test normal, replace the fuel
pump module.
*
Restricted fuel feed pipe
*
Inspect the harness connectors and the ground circuits of the fuel pump for poor connections.
2. Verify that the fuel pressure does not decrease more than 34 kPa (5 psi) in 1 minute.
‹› If the fuel pressure decreases more than the specified value, perform the following procedure:
1. Ignition OFF, relieve the fuel pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief (With CH 48027) (See: Fuel Filter/Fuel Pressure Release/Service and
Repair/Fuel Pressure Relief (With CH 48027))Fuel Pressure Relief (Without CH 48027) (See: Fuel Filter/Fuel Pressure Release/Service and
Repair/Fuel Pressure Relief (Without CH 48027)).
2. Install the J 37287 - Shut-off Adapter or the J 37287-FF - Adapter between the fuel feed pipe and the fuel rail.
3. Open the valve on the J 37287 - Shut-off Adapter or the J 37287-FF - Adapter.
4. Ignition ON, command the fuel pump relay ON with a scan tool and bleed the air from the CH 48027 - Gage.
5. Command the fuel pump relay ON and then OFF with a scan tool.
6. Close the valve on the J 37287 - Shut-off Adapter or the J 37287-FF - Adapter.
7. Monitor the fuel pressure for 1 minute.
‹› If the fuel pressure decreases more than 34 kPa (5 psi) within the specified time, locate and replace the leaking fuel injectors.
‹› If the fuel pressure does not decrease more than 34 kPa (5 psi) within the specified time, replace the fuel pump module.
3. Relieve the fuel pressure to 69 kPa (10 psi). Verify that the fuel pressure does not decrease more than 14 kPa (2 psi) in 5 minutes.
‹› If the fuel pressure decreases more than the specified value, replace the fuel pump module.
4. Operate the vehicle within the conditions of the customer's concern while monitoring the fuel pressure with the CH 48027 - Gage. The fuel
pressure should not drop off during acceleration, cruise or hard cornering.
‹› If the fuel pressure drops off, test, inspect, and repair the items listed below. If all items test normal, replace the fuel pump module.

Restricted fuel feed pipe
*
Inspect the harness connectors and the ground circuits of the fuel pump for poor connections
5. If the fuel system tests normal, refer to Symptoms - Engine Controls (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms - Engine Controls).
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble
Code Tests and Associated Procedures/Verification Tests and Procedures) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
