ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT INJECTOR OPERATIONCheck operation sound from each injector.
(a) With the engine running or cranking, use a stethescopeto check that there is normal operating noise in
proportion to engine rpm.
(b) If you have no stethescope, you can check the injector transmission operation with your finger.
If no sound or an unusual sound is heard, check the wiring
connector, injector or injection signal from the ECU.
