Inspection
Fuel pump operation
1, Connect the diagnosis connector terminals F/P and GND
with a jumper wire.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
4. Listen for operational sound of the fuel pump at the filler inlet.
5. Install the fuel filler cap.
6. If no sound was heard, measure the voltage between the
fuel pump connector wire B/P to ground.
Specification: Battery voltage
7. If not correct, check the circuit opening relay and its cir-
cuits (Refer to page F-129.)
8. If the voltage is normal, check for continuity between fuel
pump connector B/P and B.
9. If there is continuity, replace the fuel pump.
IO. If there is no continuity, repair the ground circuit.
Hold pressure
Perform this inspection if the fuel pressure hold inspection is
not as specified. (Refer to page F-121 .)
